Protect rights of undocumented children born in Malaysia, G25 urges govt


PETALING JAYA: The removal of any rights accorded to children in the Federal Constitution will be a step backwards for Malaysia, says G25.

The group, which comprises senior and eminent former civil servants, said it supported the call from child activist and co-founder of Yayasan Chow Kit, Datuk Dr Hartini Zainudin, against the proposed amendments to Article 14 (1) (b) of the Federal Constitution, particularly the removal of Section 1(e) of Part II in the Second Schedule.
