PM: Changes to citizenship law for kids born overseas to be tabled in September

KUALA LUMPUR: Amendments to the law will be tabled in Parliament in September to resolve the citizenship issue of children born to Malaysian mothers abroad, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"We will be tabling amendments to the Federal Constitution to replace the words 'whose father' in Part I and Part II of the Second Schedule with the words "at least one of the parents”," the Prime Minister announced at the opening of the International Malaysia Law Conference here on Monday (July 10).
