00:00 "I have just handed over the decision letter to 35 children who were all born abroad by

00:15 the mothers of Malaysian citizens.

00:18 A total of 35 people have handed over the letter today.

00:23 All of this is being processed under Article 15, Section 2 of the United Nations, which is

00:30 the application for citizenship by registration.

00:33 This symbol indicates that as of 7 March this year, all applications under the category of

00:44 "Children born by the mothers of Malaysian citizens abroad" have been processed and completed.

00:53 This means that those whose applications are complete, I emphasize, whose applications are

01:00 complete, they may make an application but it is not complete, for various reasons, it

01:07 is not perfect, it is rejected.

01:09 For those whose applications are complete, which have been processed, they will receive

01:16 a notification from the State Registration Office and when they receive the letter, they

01:24 can proceed with the next process.

01:27 They have to come to the JPN, they have to make a number of payments, then the registration

01:33 certificate is sent to the State Registration Office and then they can issue relevant documents.

01:40 So that is the application under Article 15, Section 2, by registration, "Children born

01:49 abroad by the mothers of Malaysian citizens".

01:52 This case, when the United Nations is moved, this case will be like this, "Children

02:00 born abroad by the mothers of Malaysian citizens will be granted citizenship by law".

02:06 When we include the word "mother" in Article 14.1b of the United Nations, we will move it.

02:16 I want to emphasize and ask the media to report, make sure the application is complete.

02:21 The documents must be authentic. If the application involves children born abroad, make sure

02:31 it is a child. Don't leave the child in England and the mother is here to apply.

02:36 You can't do that.

02:37 Thank you.
