JUNE 24 — We thank the Ministry of Home Affairs for engaging with Civil Society Organisations on June 23, 2023, and seeking our views on the amendments to Part III of the Federal Constitution, which we understand will be finalised before being presented to the Conference of Rulers on July 12. The engagement was a good opportunity for us to learn more about the proposed amendments.
Substantively, based on the proposed amendments shown to us, we welcome the amendments to enable Malaysian mothers to confer citizenship to their children born overseas.
Children are the most vulnerable members of any society, and we have an overwhelming duty to ensure their protection, well-being, and access to basic rights. Citizenship is not just a legal status; it is a fundamental aspect of a child’s identity and plays a crucial role in their ability to enjoy a dignified life, including access to education, healthcare, and social services. Statelessness leaves children vulnerable to exploitation, discrimination, and marginalisation.
