Mothers stage protest at Putrajaya NRD over citizenship delay for overseas-born children

2022-06-10 2

A group of Malaysian mothers staged an ad hoc protest at the Putrajaya National Registration Department (NRD) today over their submissions for their overseas-born children seeking Malaysian citizenship.

Led by the Association of Family Support & Welfare, Selangor & KL (Family Frontiers), the group pointed out discrepancies in the submission process for Malaysian men and women.

This follows the High Court ruling in September 2021 which declared that Malaysian women and men are supposed to have equal rights to confer citizenship on their overseas-born children.
