PETALING JAYA: DAP has given its commitment to support a constitutional amendment that would enable automatic citizenship for children born overseas to Malaysian women.

DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang said that its 42 parliamentarians would support an amendment of Article 14 of the Constitution to replace the word "father" with "at least one parent", in order to grant Malaysian women the same rights as Malaysian men.
