Episode: Consider This: Statelessness - Citizenship by Whose Rules?
Description: In the upcoming year-end Parliamentary session, the Government will be tabling its proposed amendments to the Constitution to finally allow Malaysian women to confer citizenship to their overseas-born children. However, the Government is also planning to bundle several other amendments - amendments that remove existing protections in the Constitution, running the risk of perpetuating statelessness. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Datuk Dr Hartini Zainudin, Co-Founder of Yayasan Chow Kit and Latheefa Koya, Co-founder of Lawyers for Liberty.
