Malaysian Bar president disappointed over ‘disrespect’ of Federal Court in Kelantan’s re-enactment plans, condemns death threats against Nik ElinMARCH 8 — Exactly one year ago, civil society groups rallied behind Malaysia’s Unity Government as it unveiled plans to amend the Federal Constitution, aiming to grant Malaysian mothers the right to confer citizenship upon their children born overseas — a privilege previously reserved solely for Malaysian fathers.
Despite relentless efforts and pleas urging the government to reconsider and halt the tabling of these regressive amendments, our appeals have fallen on deaf ears.
