KUALA LUMPUR: The Court of Appeal has set Aug 5 to deliver its verdict on the appeal by the government seeking to overturn a lower court ruling that children born overseas to Malaysian mothers married to foreigners are entitled to automatic Malaysian citizenship.
Association of Family Support & Welfare Selangor & Kuala Lumpur (Family Frontiers) president Suriani Kempe said the Court of Appeal decided to defer the verdict to allow more arguments to be heard from both sides, following additional points raised by the government during the hearing on Wednesday (June 22).
