Kuala Lumpur: Applications for citizenship must be carefully studied and based on a case-to-case basis.Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said the ministry must look at each case separately, subject to the conditions under Part III of the Federal Constitution. He said this was why it was difficult for the ministry and the National Registration Department to draw up comprehensive and uniform guidelines for the whole country for the process of awarding citizenship."In Sabah and Sarawak, there is the ordinance on births as well as other procedures which must be observed in order to get citizenship," he said when winding-up the debate on the motion of thanks for the Royal address for the ministry at the Dewan Rakyat sitting Monday. – Bernama
