UiTM V-C defends students wearing black, says it’s to show their identity and not a protest against call to open up varsity to non-Bumi Kamaladevi's two children T , M , lawyer New Sin Yew, lawyer Shugan Raman, Kamaladevi Kanniappan as seen at the Taiping, Perak court complex May 20, 2024.
“She has been working on this process for the last 16 years and has met countless people who promised to help her get citizenship for her and her family, but to no avail. There were issues regarding Letchimee's official documents which started with her stepfather pawning off her birth certificate when she was young and the subsequent retrieval of the birth certificate by Letchimee's brother.
Letchimee was said to have what her family described as a temporary identity card, namely an NRD-issued document titled “Surat Pengenalan Sementara dan Kenyataan Penerimaan Permohonan Satu Kad Pengenalan” and which had stated “belum dikeluarkan” for the information on the colour of the identity card.
In multiple court cases, the Malaysian government has interpreted Malaysian citizenship laws under the Federal Constitution by saying that the citizenship status of illegitimate children should follow their mother's citizenship status. The Malaysian government's interpretation of local laws is that illegitimate children cannot take on their father's citizenship status.
The court was previously told that Kamaladevi did not get a proper education and had to start working at 12 in a rubber estate. In the lawsuit, they named five respondents to the lawsuit, namely the Registrar of Births and Deaths, the Registrar-General of Births and Deaths, the director-general of National Registration, the home minister, and the government of Malaysia.
The remaining court orders by the High Court are a declaration that both Kamaladevi and her daughter T have the right to register their marriages with the NRD under the Law Reform Act 1976, and directed for the family's citizenship rights to be enforced.
