An 81-year-old ethnic Indian man, who has been waiting for years to bring his children back from India, says the Malaysian authorities have failed to issue them citizenship documents despite court's ruling that they are country's lawful citizens.



M Ramanoojum says it had been 19 months since a Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that his two children are lawful Malaysian citizens.

The two children were born in India. Their mother failed to register the births of both her children, who were born in India, with the Malaysian High Commission.

Ramanoojum, a former policeman, said the National Registration Department had yet to grant his children, Thirupathi 36 and Meena 32, Malaysian identification documents.

Ramanoojum, came to Malaysia from Madurai in India in 1934 at the age of four, was granted Malaysian citizenship in 1958, New Straits Times reported.

He married N Pushpam in India in 1960. She also took up Malaysian citizenship later.
