An Italian restaurant has apologised after it was criticised by Italy’s Ambassador to Singapore for trying to hold a mafia-themed night.
The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia reiterates its concerns and objections to the proposed series of amendments to the citizenship provisions of the Federal Constitution. However, Suhakam supports and welcomes the proposal to amend Article 14 of the Federal Constitution to recognize gender equality.
The major hurdle within the existing provisions is the bureaucracy and unresponsive attitude of the NRD towards applicants. There is already a significant trust deficit in the workings of the bureaucracy, and the thrust of the proposed amendments, which shifts constitutional rights to the discretion of civil servants, is highly unsatisfactory. It is without a doubt that the proposed amendments would exacerbate statelessness among children.
Suhakam is appalled that despite strong objections, the Cabinet seems to have agreed to all the proposed amendments. Suhakam has repeatedly raised its concerns that these proposals would aggravate the challenges faced by intergenerational justice for stateless individuals in Malaysia.
Again, Suhakam reiterates that the right to a nationality is a fundamental human right, and as a state party to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child , the government should ensure that there are no stateless children in the country by taking steps towards the elimination of statelessness.
