KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s Cabinet has agreed to amend the country’s Federal Constitution to enable children born overseas to Malaysian mothers, who are married to foreign spouses, to automatically become citizens.
Currently, only children born overseas to Malaysian dads are granted Malaysian citizenship automatically. A Malaysian woman with a foreign spouse who gives birth outside of Malaysia would not be able to automatically pass on her citizenship to her children. The proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution would replace the word “father” with the words “at least one of his parents”, they noted.
Other amendments to citizenship laws will also be studied by a committee formed under the Home Ministry, and presented to the Cabinet, they added.
