Although they were born in Malaysia to a Malaysian father, no reason was given for the rejection. They applied in 2009, 2012 & 2014. The 3rd application was rejected after 7 years. No reason given. malaysiakini.com/news/700829

Kewarganegaraan adalah hak asasi. Tanpanya, anak-anak menghadapi dinding kesukaran dalam akses kepada pendidikan, kesihatan, dan pekerjaan yang sah. Mereka juga terhalang dari hak asas seperti perkahwinan dan memulakan keluarga. #HanyaMalaysiaTanahAirku #Tolakpindaanzalim

Good Qs from Andrew Yong : How many of these 3.5 million foreigners have PR? (In 2013, there were only 295,601 red IC holders.) Of the 233,980 “lain-lain” (“others”), how many are Orang Asli & natives of Sabah and Sarawak? (Resharing stats on PRs/red IC holders with #AltText .)

The Gothic architecture of Kuching's new St Peter's Catholic Church will be a prominent tourist attraction once completed. For the previous half-century, I am unaware of any comparable project in Sarawak or Sabah. I was recently given a private tour; it is 80% complete, and the

Kudos to Karim Khan for standing up to the West. If the international rules-based order is to survive, the ICC must be allowed to work independently & impartially. Friends or foes, without fear or favour, all are subject to the law.

Do you think that the voters in Sabah & Sarawak (17% of the population) should have 33.3% of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat? That means 1 vote in S&S would be worth 2 votes in Malaya 🤡 🤡 🤡
