PUTRAJAYA, March 30 — Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said today that the Home Ministry's goal to decide on 10,000 citizenship applications would not come at the cost of national security and safety.
"Parents who want to foster a kid need to go to court and go through an adoption process. This is where we need to be careful as there are cases of fake birth certificates." The issue of citizenship was highlighted in February when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Cabinet decided to update current laws to confer automatic citizenship to the offspring of Malaysian women who give birth overseas.
He said since there was an 80 per cent transfer of shares to a third party that needed to be investigated and the findings would be presented to the Cabinet. Last month, reports emerged that former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was involved in the awarding of the NIISe contract to Iris Corporation Berhad, linked to his son-in-law.
