KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) is drafting proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution regarding the citizenship rights of children born abroad as a result of the marriage of a Malaysian woman to a foreign spouse.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pic) said the amendments were made to amend Article 14(1)(b) to include the word ‘mother’, to enable the child's citizenship to be obtained by force of law.
