Sabah lawyers against citizenship amendment bill

KOTA KINABALU: Proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution on citizenship threaten Sabah's vulnerable communities particularly stateless people, orphans and those born to permanent residents.

Sabah Law Society (SLS) president Mohamed Nazim Maduarin said that they backed calls by state leaders and NGOs not to apply the amendments to Sabah but said that local MPs have been silent on the issue.
