NGOs: Halt five proposed amendments


KUALA LUMPUR: Amend the citizenship laws for children born overseas to Malaysian mothers but halt the other five proposed amendments if the government is serious in eradicating statelessness among children, say NGOs and former stateless individuals.

They urged the government not to force “a false choice” upon stateless children at the expense of creating another group of stateless children through five other amendments to the citizenship laws.
