KUCHING, May 22 — The process of granting citizenship to children who are without documentation in Sarawak is still pending federal approval, says Minister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Datuk Sri Fatimah Abdullah.

“The power to grant citizenship status lies with the Ministry of Home Affairs and its minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin, and not with JPN Sarawak,” she highlighted. In relation to this, Fatimah said the special committee had called a meeting in March this year, where it was stated that over 70 new citizenship applications from Sarawak had been submitted.
