PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal will hear on Dec 22 the government's application to stay a High Court ruling that children born overseas to Malaysian mothers who are married to foreigners are entitled to be Malaysian citizens, pending disposal of an appeal.

A three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Yaacob Md Sam, Datuk S. Nantha Balan and Datuk Nordin Hassan brought forward the hearing date of the stay application from March 18 next year to Dec 22.

The appellants filed a stay application pending hearing of their appeal against the High Court's decision declaring that children born overseas to Malaysian mothers who are married to foreigners are entitled by operation of law to be Malaysian citizens. In their originating summons, they are seeking six specific court orders, including a declaration that Section 1 and Section 1 of the Second Schedule, Part II of the Federal Constitution be read harmoniously with Article 8 to include Malaysian mothers as a condition for children born abroad to be given automatic Malaysian citizenship.
