GRANDMA, KIDS OF IMM13 HOLDER AMONG LUCKY ONES BECOME MALAYSIAN

Grandma, kids of IMM13 holder among lucky ones

March 25, 2011 Kota Kinabalu: A 60-year-old grandmother who waited more than three decades to become a Malaysian saw her dream come true here, Thursday, while local carpenter, Marajan Abd Razak whose wife is an IMM13 holder, is relieved that his sons aged 10 and 11 can finally go to school.

They are overjoyed after getting citizenship papers for themselves or their spouses from Deputy Home Minister Datuk Lee Chee Leong.

Johriya Binti AB Kahar was accompanied by her daughter Darnah Hj Durahim from Sandakan and was among 85 recipients.

Before this she held Permanent Resident status.

"I'm so delighted that finally I am a Malaysian at my age, having applied since 1975 but without any response". Darnah said she kept urging her mother not to lose hope and that two years ago things began to look up for her.

Another successful applicant Mok Ching Hong 48, who was born in Kota Kinabalu, held PR status until now.

"I had to go through a lot such as being asked to go to Kuala Lumpur to apply for citizenship," she said, adding she was also asked to attend an examination to gain Malaysian nationality.

Because of this I had to face a lot of difficulty especially when I went on vacation. I had to apply for visas and pay extra for my flights," she recalled.

Two boys and five other siblings who received citizenship certificates were the children of Marajan, 42, who is married to IMM13 holder, Nurhadah Maddaini, 34.

He applied for Malaysian citizenship for seven of his eight children aged between 4 and 14 at the National Registration Department (NRD) here in 2008.

"I was overjoyed when I heard the news from NRD that the applications for my seven children were approved.

"All my seven children now can enjoy government aid like Poor Students Trust Fund Group (KWAPM) in the schools," he said.

Marajan, who originated from Pulau Sabang, Sepanggar, said his five schooling children could not enjoy government aid before as their nationality was questioned by the school authorities.

He was married in a ceremony in Pulau Gaya by an Imam.

In 2007, Marajan applied for a "Marriage Certificate" from the Sabah Islamic Affairs Department (Jheains) here for their children to have birth certificates and to apply for Malaysian citizenship for his seven children the following year.

His last child, Nazmina, aged one year and two months, has a MyKid from NRD here.

    tahniah kepada yang telah berjaya memperolehi kewarganegaraan dan teruskan menyumbang kepada negara serta kekalkan kesetiaan kepada negara. Kementerian juga perlu pastikan proses penganugerahan kewarganegaraan ini dijalankan dengan ketat berlandaskan undang2 perlembagaan.

    Setiap orang akan menerima tapisan demi tapisan. Jika benar layak jadi tidak kisah mereka mendapat kewargenagaraan. Yang penting adalah pihak tertentu jujur dalam mengeluarkan kewarganegaraan tersebut.

    Bukan senang untuk mendapat kewaeganegaraan ini. Hanya mereka yang benar-benar layak saja dan mencukupi syarat saja yang akan memperolehinya. Siapa yang telah mendapatkannya tahniah diucapkan.
