Azalina: If a mother can't pass down citizenship, then don’t let the fathers either
- 3 years ago
Azalina Othman Said (BN-Pengerang) has reiterated a call for the government to ensure equality in citizenship rights for parents.
This is after the government decided to continue appealing against a court ruling that would grant automatic citizenship to overseas-born children of Malaysian mums and foreign dads.
“If we want to be fair, I want to tell the prime minister and the ministers, be fair to all."
“I don’t understand (why the government is appealing the ruling), it is as though Malaysian women are inferior to Malaysian men,” she said in Dewan Rakyat today.
