Episode 17: Born Here. Raised Here. But Are You Malaysian?

Citizenship is something many of us take for granted. But for some children, the answer to whether they are Malaysian is far from straightforward. In Episode 17, we are joined by Larissa Ann Louis as we explore: ▪️ How citizenship is determined under the Federal Constitution ▪️ Citizenship by operation of law under Article 14 ▪️ Children born out of wedlock and children born overseas ▪️ Abandoned children and the protection afforded under Section 19B ▪️ What happens when Section 19B does not apply ▪️ Statelessness and its real-life consequences ▪️ The long-standing debate on citizenship rights of Malaysian mothers and the recent constitutional amendments Behind every constitutional provision and court case lies a much deeper question: Do I belong here? 🎧 Available now on YouTube and Spotify. #LawUnfiltered #Citizenship #Malaysia
