Suit filed by mothers of overseas-born children, NGO to be h

KUALA LUMPUR: A lawsuit filed by an NGO and six mothers seeking for overseas-born children to be given citizenship will be heard at the High Court on June 30.
This is following a decision by Justice Akhtar Tahir that dismissed the government's application to strike out the suit.
In his decision, Justice Akhtar ruled that the main lawsuit was not frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of court process.
Lawyer Datuk Dr Gurdial Singh Nijar told reporters that the court found there was no justification by the government in its application to strike out the suit.
"On the face of it (the lawsuit), there is apparent discrimination. The legal action will proceed and the court has given us a hearing date on June 30," he said here on Thursday.
