He Had a Malaysian Birth Certificate — But His Citizenship Was Questioned When He Applied for a MyKad at 12

Malaysian Citizenship, Stateless Child and JPN Advisory /

This case concerns a male infant, LWO, born in 2009 at a medical center in Klang, Selangor. At the time of the child’s birth, a Malaysian couple made a crucial yet erroneous decision when registering the birth: they falsely claimed to the registration authorities that they were the child’s biological parents. Based on this false registration, the child subsequently obtained a birth certificate designating him as a “Warganegara” (citizen) and lived in Malaysia as a citizen for 12 years.

A Chinese child raised for 12 years suddenly transformed into a Muslim following a BSK investigation? A harrowing lesson revealed

Citizenship and Citizenship Surveys /

Twelve years of happiness were shattered by a single phone call. A Chinese couple, having finally succeeded in having a child, saw their lives turned upside down on the very day they applied for the child’s identity card. The backstory: Approaching the age of 40 and desperate for a child, the couple—introduced by a friend—adopted the infant of an unmarried Malaysian woman. Seeking convenience, they falsely registered the baby as their own biological child and lived peacefully for twelve years. The deception unraveled during the application for the MyKad (national ID card); a counter official noticed a discrepancy between the child’s appearance and the details on the “parents'” birth certificate, leading to the case being referred to the BSK (the National Registration Department’s investigation unit).
