ON Monday, the government tabled the Communications and Multimedia (Amendments) Bill 2024 (CMA) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (Amendments) Bill 2024 (MCMC) in Parliament.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing debate over proposed changes to Malaysia's citizenship laws, specifically concerning the automatic acquisition of citizenship for children born overseas to Malaysian mothers. The government, led by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, is advocating for a thorough discussion rather than a hasty amendment to the Federal Constitution. This approach aims to address the complexities involved, including the potential implications for statelessness and the rights of children. The minister emphasized the need for a balanced view, considering both the legal aspects and the humanitarian concerns. The discussion involves various stakeholders, including NGOs, legal experts, and opposition parties, all of whom are pushing for changes to ensure that Malaysian mothers can pass on citizenship to their children born abroad, similar to the rights currently enjoyed by Malaysian fathers. The government's cautious stance is to ensure that any changes made are well-considered and beneficial in the long term.
