Malaysia's government is developing comprehensive guidelines to guarantee that children lacking citizenship documents can access education and state development programs. Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof announced the initiative while addressing undocumented children in Sarawak, where some youngsters born within the state remain unregistered. He emphasized that legal provisions, procedural frameworks and implementation strategies require extensive evaluation to prevent marginalization of these children.
Fadillah plans to convene representatives from all relevant ministries and agencies to assess current federal and state-level measures, despite an existing task force. He stressed that excluding any child from educational opportunities or governmental services remains unacceptable under any circumstances.
The deputy prime minister outlined these priorities while speaking at the Sarawak Women's Impact Forum 2025, organized by the Women of Impact Core Committee at the Borneo Cultural Museum. The forum assembled influential female changemakers, national leaders and civil society representatives to address challenges facing vulnerable populations, including poverty, education gaps, environmental concerns and mental health issues affecting women across various communities.
