Government loses bid to delay giving citizenship papers to kids born abroad to Malaysian mums

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 22 — The Court of Appeal today unanimously dismissed the Malaysian government’s application to stay or temporarily suspend issuing citizenship-related documents to children born overseas to Malaysian mothers.

Following a hearing before the Court of Appeal today, however, the government’s stay application was dismissed with no order on legal costs, as the court did not find any special circumstances that would justify a stay. “We take the view that this is not an ordinary case involving chattel or monetary judgment. It involves the rights of children and these rights have been recognised by the High Court.

“Of course, in the event that the appellants do succeed in reversing the High Court order, this only means there would be retraction of citizenship, this is a risk that respondents are well aware of.
