Media statement: Global Bersih applauds the progressive citizenship amendments; concerned about the regressive ones
While we celebrate this progress, GB acknowledges the amendment's non-retroactive nature, which continues to exclude children born before the law's implementation.
Malaysia could lead the way on gender equality 🇲🇾
@anwaribrahim, by passing the amendment granting citizenship to overseas-born children of Malaysian mothers retroactively, and halting regressive amendments, Malaysia would set an example for other countries!
#EqualityForAll
#MerdekaUntukIbuMalaysia
Selagi ibu-ibu Malaysia tidak boleh memberikan kewarganegaraan kepada anak-anak mereka yang dilahirkan di luar negara, mereka belum #Merdeka. Wanita masa depan Malaysia juga belum merdeka.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day 💐, let’s not forget mothers who can’t pass on their Malaysian citizenship to their children born overseas. Fight the patriarchy. #PindaPerkara14UntukIbu
Join us in this👇webinar to learn the current status of Malaysian mothers’ amendment.
@anwaribrahim@DrSJaishankar perhaps its time to reciprocate and discuss visa free travel to India for Malaysians? Malaysia currently allows Indian nationals to travel to Malaysia without a visa.

Broken promises upon broken promises.
Make the amendments to provide equal rights to Msian mothers to confer citizenship to children born overseas having retrospective effect so that existing cases can be resolved all at once.
Kerajaan juga boleh meminda rang undang2 semasa peringkat jawatankuasa, esok.
Ahli Parliment tolonglah melindungi penduduk tetap (PR) Malaysia yangdilahirkan Malaysia yang termasuk kanak-kanak tanpa kewarganegaraan & Bumiputera Orang Asli/asal. @saifnasution@keluarsekejap
This is another mother - her 2 daughters 3 applications were all rejected between 2018 and 2023. Her children will never be M'sians if the amendment to Article 14 for Mothers is not retrospective based on previous rejections.
But they still proudly call themselves Malaysians!!
Within a few hours, we received news of a mom getting her 2ND rejection after waiting for 9 years. No reason given.
This is why #PindaPerkara14UntukIbu MUST BE RETROACTIVE @saifnasution@anwaribrahim! There is no guarantee of citizenship under Art.15(2) as it is discretionary!
