NGOs to meet home ministry on changes to citizenship laws for abandoned children

NGOs will be meeting with the home ministry soon on the proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution involving the citizenship of abandoned children.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Nancy Shukri said Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail had told her about the matter yesterday.
 
"I spoke with the minister (Saifuddin) and he was very responsive. I received a lot of responses from the NGOs. Since my ministry is responsible for looking after the welfare of children, I was asked to help with this.

"We still have time... I hope there will be new developments through the meeting session. I want the best to protect these children, thanks to the home minister," she told reporters in Seremban.
