KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 — Despite a technical issue yesterday, the details of the three children — who were the first in the country to receive Malaysian citizenship certificates after being born overseas to Malaysian mothers and foreign fathers — has been uploaded to the National Registration Department’s online system.
Commenting on the issue, Professor Datuk Noor Aziah Mohd Awal, Children’s Commissioner of the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia , said she was pleased to hear that the children had received their citizenship certificates and the ensuing confirmation. Last Friday, the three mothers and their children were given a letter by JPN that called them to be present at the department headquarters at 2.30pm yesterday, to receive the certificates.
At the time, the mothers said that they were told that they would receive another letter to collect the certificates within the next 14 days.
