Opposition whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan (Kota Bharu-PN) has claimed the government, particularly the Home Ministry, has yet to explain why the proposed constitutional amendments affecting foundlings and stateless children were removed from the bill.
The term “denied citizenship” for these children must cease. Abandoned children or foundlings discovered without any trace of their parents will be granted citizenship, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
