Hisham to 'bare all' on citizenship for foreigners

Hishammuddin Hussein said he would reveal everything with regard to allegations that foreigners were given citizenship during the select committee set up by Parliament.

NONEThe home minister who is also Semberong member of parliament said even foreigners associated with opposition party members were issued Malaysian citizenship.

"The ministry has also approved applications from opposition party members. That alone shows that we are not selective or biased. I will reveal everything to the select committee," he told reporters in Kluang today.

The opposition had accused the government and the Home Ministry of issuing Malaysian citizenship to foreigners to ensure a victory for the ruling coalition in the next general election.

He added that he or his officers in the ministry had nothing to hide.

"This are all facts. I do not know who are the applicants, whose relation they are or whether they are supporters of the government or not," he said.

Hishammuddin said allegations by the opposition that the National Registration Department (NRD) had issued citizenship to Bangladeshis had been clarified by its director-general Datin Jariah Mohd Said.

"In the past seven years, only 30 Bangladeshis had been given citizenship and from the 30 only seven are eligible to vote. And from the seven, only four have registered as voters," he said.
