PUTRAJAYA : A 16-year-old teenager, whose Indonesian mother has been engaged in a legal battle since 2023, is now expected to obtain Malaysian citizenship.
Lawyer A Srimurugan, representing the mother, informed a three-member apex court bench chaired by Justice Rhodzariah Bujang that the Attorney-General’s Chambers would assist with the necessary documentation.
Last year, the woman framed five legal questions to secure a hearing by the apex court on the merits of her appeal.
On Nov 29, 2024, the Court of Appeal dismissed the woman’s appeal, citing doubts over the teenager’s paternity.
