Lawyers: Four stateless Malaysia-born women denied citizenship, regressive amendments will worsen plight

Seri Mulyati Syamsudin, Wiwin Handayani, Khairunnisa Ibrahim and Vanessa are seen holding the Federal Constitution booklet during a press conference regarding stateless children at Lawyers For Liberty office in Petaling Jaya March 19, 2024.

“What more to expect them to use their discretion to grant citizenship, you can see the attitude,” she told a press conference held at LFL’s office here to highlight the four stateless women’s plight. According to the NRD’s website, Form E is the application form for confirmation of citizenship status. The NRD’s website provides samples of the Form E but it is stated to be only for reference, and that original forms should be used when applying.

Surendran said the trio had still made numerous attempts but were unsuccessful, while Seri had applied for citizenship more than once but was rejected. Lawyer Datuk S.

She said the Federal Court took a very humane approach and made a correct interpretation of the Federal Constitution in its 2021 decision in the court case known as CCH, and claimed that the government’s proposed regressive amendments would undermine the effect of the Federal Court’s decision.
