KUCHING: Sarawak wants its special committee on citizenship to be revived by the Federal Government to address the issue of stateless children in the state.

State Welfare, Community Wellbeing, Women, Family and Childhood Development Minister Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah said she would seek a courtesy call with Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin to convey the request.

However, the committee was discontinued last July by the Pakatan Harapan administration as the Home Ministry decided at the time to set up a special task force to resolve matters related to citizenship applications. She said citizenship applications used to take three or more years to be processed, but this was cut to about two years with the special committee.
