KDN: Permanent Residence (PR) CANNOT pass on citizenship

Our proposal:

1. PRs born in Malaysia (stateless, Orang Asli, etc) can automatically pass on citizenship to their children

2. PRs born overseas (foreigners) cannot pass on citizenship to their children

Isn't ours fair

Wearing all 5 buttons, rolling up my sleeve for one final push!!!

In my 40 years of advocacy I have never seen such a wide public demand from all quarters to drop the damaging amendments affecting children in the “Proposed reforms to citizenship laws in Malaysia” — G25 | Malay Mail https://t.co/48FKJ5Tydt

[Tini z @tiniz]

Decouple the amendments - push through the mother’s right to ensure citizenship for their foreign born children and stop the regressive amendments. Be brave. Do the right thing all MPs!

[Tini z @tiniz]

Everybody wants to know who a foundling is? This is a foundling. She’ll be stateless. Under our Federal constitution,as a foundling should be straight away registered as Malaysia cutizen. But it’s not done. Now the proposed amendments want to remove the clause completely.

[Tini z @tiniz]

I don’t know why not enough of you care; I don’t know why politicians and anyone with common decency aren’t up in arms! But it’s vile and it’s wrong what we propose to do with these foundlings if the amendments are passed. How do you sleep at night?

[Tini z @tiniz]

@anwaribrahim @saifnasution @AzalinaOthmanS And you won’t be able to take it back once you render more babies and children stateless. This is a huge mistake. You will NOT be leaving a leaving a legacy of good. You will go down in history as pushing amendments that take away rights of innocent babies and children

[Tini z @tiniz]

You’re making a huge huge mistake punishing foundlings, Sir @anwaribrahim @saifnasution @AzalinaOthmanS

[Maalini Ramalo #Decouple @ramalo_maalini]

If i may spell out red flags:
1. We are being asked to accept children losing rights over enabling mothers right (as if both are not equally important)
2. doesn’t address current causes of statelessness instead multiply it
3. Not only court, but MPs no longer can question

The UPR is a crucial process for other stakeholders, including civil society organisations, to engage with and advocate to the government to better uphold human rights obligations
