PUTRAJAYA: Children under 18 born to Malaysian mothers overseas can now apply for citizenship under Article 15(2) of the Federal Constitution, following a settlement in an appeal at the Federal Court by an NGO and a group of six Malaysian mothers.
Lawyer Datuk Dr Gurdial Singh Nijar, who represented the appellants, informed a five-judge panel chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat that the appellants and the government have come to an agreement over the matter.
