KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 17 — Clear, holistic and unambiguous mechanisms must be put in place by the Home Ministry if it is to make good on its promise of solving the issue of stateless persons within a year, rights group Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) said today.
In welcoming the move as announced by Home Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainudin, LFL’s coordinator Zaid Malek stressed the need for clear standard operating procedures and reasonable documentation requirements when addressing the issue.
