197. How many are ILLEGAL sabahans?

Who qualify to be Malaysians?



Letter to the editor of Daily Express dated 8th  of December, 2013 page 19

Citizens by operation of law

I refer to Citizenship not a right but privilege citing Jainasah Mohd Noor of the National registration department.

The writer says :  “For the readers’ information, the assumption that every person born in Malaysia and holding a Malaysian birth certificate is automatically a Malaysian citizen is incorrect; a child’s citizenship status and their citizenship status at the time of the birth.”

The above statement is misleading. As a former Registrar of Citizens at the National Registration Department headquarters in Petaling  Jaya from 1969 – 1975, I wish to clarify the law pertaining to citizenship by operation of law, for general information.  The Federal Constitution  came into force on Merdeka Day, Aug 31, 1957.  The provisions relating to Malaysian citizenship are contained in Articles 14-31 of the Federal Constitution.

Article 14 of the Constitution relates to citizenship by operation of law. Since this article has been amended by the Constitution (Amendment) Act of 1962 and the Malaysian Act of 1963, it is necessary to apply the law in force at different  periods i.e. (a) between Aug 31, 1957 and sept 30, 1962; (b) Oct 1., 1962 and Sept 15, 1963 ; and (c) Sept 16, 1963 (Malaysia Day) to date.

The original Article 14 (1) embodied the principle of jus soli.  Every person born within the Federation on or after Merdeka Day becomes a citizen by operation of law.

It does not matter whether the parents were citizens, permanent residents or visitors.  As long as the child was born within the Federation, he became a citizen by operation of law.

The Constitution (Amendment ( Act 1962 which modified the principle of jus soli came into force on Oct 1, 1962.  Under the amended Article 14 (1) (b) every person  born within the Federation on or after Oct 1, 1962 and before Sept 15, 1963 becomes a citizen by operation of law, if at the time of the birth at least one of the parents is a citizen or permanently resident in the Federation.

From the foregoing it is clear that to determine the citizenship status of a child, the criteria is (a) the child must be born in Malaysia and (b) one of the parents must be a citizen or permanently resident in the Federation.

It is not even necessary for the parents to be citizens, only one of them must be permanently resident  in the Federation.

“Permanently resident” is defined as a person who permission, granted without limit of time under any Federal law, to reside in the Federation.

For practical purposes it can be taken to mean a holder of an identity card.

A picture of the suspect from CCTV footage.
PETALING JAYA: A bank in Subang Jaya was robbed and its operations officer shot in the head by a security guard stationed at the bank, killing her instantly.
Bank officer Norazita Abu Talib, 37, a mother of two children, was opening the door to a safe with a colleague in the bank along Jalan USJ Sentral 2 at around 6.18pm Wednesday when the suspect shot her in the face with a pump gun.
The man then forced the other terrified staff member to load a bag with cash from the safe.
He then made his escape on a motorcycle with a yet-unknown amount of cash.
Selangor deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Abdul Rahim Jaafar said the suspect was the only male staff member among the five stationed at the bank.
"According to the security firm he was meant to be a replacement guard and had worked in another bank next to the crime scene.
"He had been employed by the firm for about a year," he said.
However, he raised concerns over facts of the suspect's identity.
"Checks on his I.C. reveal that it was a fake. We are going to look into this more and find out how he was employed with a fake I.C," he said, adding that cops were also investigating the CCTV footage of the bank and nearby shops.
"I advise the public to be cautious as the man is still on the loose and is armed. I urge anyone with information on him to come forward," he said.
Subang Jaya deputy OCPD Supt Tan Ah Chua revealed that the suspect was identified as Ardi Hamza (770818-12-6721) from Tawau, Sabah.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
