Malaysian mothers hail win for equality in citizenship case

KUALA LUMPUR, September 9: A group of Malaysian mothers won a landmark legal challenge Thursday, overturning what they described as discriminatory citizenship rules affecting women who gave birth overseas. The rules had meant a woman with a foreign spouse who had a child abroad was barred from automatically passing on her Malaysian nationality. Similar restrictions did not apply to men from the Southeast Asian country, who enjoy a straight path to citizenship for their offspring. Socially conservative Malaysia was among only a handful of countries worldwide with such rules, with campaigners long complaining they were discriminatory. But on Thursday, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur ruled in favour of a challenge brought by six Malaysian mothers, who argued the regulations breached the constitution. "This judgement recognises Malaysian women's equality, and marks one step forward to a more egalitarian and just Malaysia," said Suri Kempe, president of NGO Family Frontiers, which helped bring the case to court. The judgement applies to all Malaysian mothers, not just the plaintiffs in the case, she said. The lawyer for the mothers, Gurdial Singh Nijar, hailed a "momentous decision", saying the rules had "disrupted family structures". There was no immediate reaction from the government, and it was not clear whether they would appeal the ruling. Campaigners said the law had sometimes left women trapped in abusive relationships. If they brought their children back to Malaysia, the youngsters faced obstacles in accessing public services like free education and healthcare. Women could apply for their overseas-born children to be granted citizenship but authorities rarely agreed. According to Family Frontiers, the home ministry received over 4,000 applications between 2013 and 2018, but only approved 142. The government had sought to get the mothers' challenge dismissed, insisting the rules were in line with the constitution. But campaigners said they breached constitutional guarantees to equality before the law, and the court allowed the case to proceed.

She wrestled for the nation, but is crying for citizenship card

MAHENDRANAGAR, August 22: Shivani Dube is a recognised name in wrestling. Her contribution to the country is immense. She won seven gold medals at national level wrestling and silver medals at international competitions.  However, she is crying for a citizenship certificate. Her father is an Indian national and mother is a Nepali.  The Dadeldhura district administration office has reportedly denied her a citizenship reasoning that 'the provision to issue a citizenship card in the name of mother has yet to be implemented'.  Raju Dube, father of Shivani, has been living in Nepal since he married Radhika Rokka of Dadeldhura in 2056 BS.  At present, the Dube family are living at Khaireni of Bhimdatta Municipality-3 in Kanchanpur district. They depend on daily wages for a living.  The district administration office reportedly returned Shivani empty handed when she reached out for a citizenship card for flying to Norway for a wrestling championship.  "Sport players are ornaments of a country. They help raise the image of a country. It is sad that my daughter is fighting for a citizenship certificate despite her immense contributions to the country," lamented Raju, a former national wrestling player.   Shivani, the eldest of three children of the Dube couple, is of the view that she should  get a citizenship card in the name of her mother.  She joined wrestling at the tender age of 15. She won a silver medal in the 53 kilograms group in the 13th South Asian Games (SAG). "I did not have to return empty handed from any tournaments so far. I am dreaming of playing an Olympic," he shared.  The National Sports Council (NSC) has taken initiatives in helping Shivani get the document, said Raju.  "The Dadeldhura district administration office denied daughter (Shivani) a citizenship card, reasoning that the provision to grant the document in the name of mother has yet to be implemented. However, I have got a ray of hope as the Wrestling Association and the NSC have taken initiatives," he said.  "I have heard that a national cricket player has got a citizenship certificate in a similar case. So I believe Shivani should get the document in similar fashion," he said.   Wrestling Coach Rajendra Bahadur Chand has demanded that Shivani gets a citizenship certificate after going through legal processes.
