00:00As I have explained, there are two categories of permanent immigrants in Malaysia.
00:09One, those who are given an IPR and they have an entry permit and have a travel document from a foreign country.
00:20They have an immigration document.
00:24They are the first category.
00:28They are permanent immigrants in Malaysia.
00:32At the same time, they have a travel document from a foreign country.
00:36They have a passport from a foreign country.
00:40They have a birth certificate from a foreign country.
00:43But they live here, they are a permanent immigrant.
00:48Him and his partner.
00:51The second category is those who have a permanent immigrant status or an IPR
00:57but they do not have an entry permit or a travel document from a foreign country.
01:02They are considered to not have an immigration document.
01:08They have a birth certificate but they are considered to be a permanent immigrant.
01:16But they do not have an entry permit or an immigration document.
01:20So, the second category refers to those who are originally immigrants.
01:26Then, through the court process, they get their status through the immigration process.
01:37But they stop there.
01:39They do not ask to become a citizen.
01:42If they ask, we will proceed according to Article 15A.
01:45If they do not ask, they will become a permanent immigrant.
01:47So, there are two categories.
01:49Or, the PR Local Bonds are those who were born in Malaysia before independence, before 1957.
01:58They were born here but they never had a document.
02:03One more thing.
02:05They were born in Malaysia before independence, before 1963.
02:10The issue is that they do not have an entry permit or a travel document.
02:17That is the issue. It has to be differentiated.
02:20So, the main principle is that all children with a permanent immigrant status are the first category.
02:28That is, all foreigners.
02:32Are their children stateless when they were born here?
02:35The answer is no.
02:37According to the law, they are citizens of their parents' country.
02:44So, I say that it is the responsibility of the parents to report their children's birth
02:50in their respective countries.
02:53So that they can get their country's citizenship certificate.
02:58So, if their children were born here, their responsibility is to report their birth in their respective countries.
03:06Even though they are our PR, they are foreigners.
03:11So, the transfer of citizenship in accordance with the law
03:16is to prevent the children of permanent immigrants from having two citizenship.
03:22For the second category, the Malaysian government
03:26has given full commitment to ensure that individuals below this category
03:31who have a population of around 30,000
03:34who ask for citizenship is 10,000.
03:40This is what we want to resolve.
03:42I heard the discussion of the first round.
03:45I heard Kota Baru, Pago, Mua.
03:49I also heard Pasir Gudang, Segambut.
03:55Most of them touched on this matter.
03:58And what we want to focus on after this,
04:01I will make a round tomorrow.
04:03I will give a way out to this local bond PR.
04:09Because some of those who still disagree on this matter,
04:15I see that they mix up the three categories of local bond PR
04:23with foreign PR holders.
04:26I want to say that if local bond PR is around 30,000,
04:33whereas foreign PR is 7 times bigger than local bond PR.
04:43So if the current institution is local bond PR,
04:47the citizens will automatically lead to an unequal situation.
04:58So the focus of this meeting is to address the 30,000 people
05:04who ask for citizenship.
05:09And we will process and see whether there are 15 A or 91.
