"It is a tip box," Arun pronounced of Malaysia's system. "The thing is, how do you justify an application which takes 50 years to process?

"We do not have a decisive system... when things become subjective, with faith upon budi bicara (discretion), one single 'Little Napoleon' can make all a decisions," Arun told a press conference.

He pronounced civil servants may have been taught by a Biro Tatanegara (National Civics Bureau) which providing citizenship to non-Malays would erode Malay privileges, but such abuse of a application routine would be prevented if a complement was objective.
Issue lifted with Unicef as well
This offer upon objectivity, Arun said, were between some of a solutions to a complaint of stateless Malaysians which Niat due at a meeting with a expert with a United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) earlier today.

The offer was also done in a fourth book of a NGO's pamphlet spelling out itsdemandsfor a next general election, which includes eliminating statelessness between Indian Malaysians by Jan 1, 2014.

Among alternative proposals, the75-page bookletalso calls for young kids in Malaysian orphanages to be since citizenship unless it can be proven which they were not born in Malaysia.

Niat chairperson Thasleem Mohamed Ibrahim (above) dismissed a brawl between Pakatan Rakyat as well as supervision leaders upon a series of stateless persons in a nation as irrelevant political bickering.

"The official routine which is a interruption should be relooked as well as a supervision should ensure a well-spoken as well as easy way out of this (statelessness). Whether it is 300,000,or 9,000 or 1,000, a numbers do not matter.

"As far as Niat is concerned, even if is usually 10 people who have been deprived, you feel it is completely opposite a legacy of those concerned," he said.

Arun added which there could not be any decisive figure upon a series of stateless persons in Malaysia anyway, since they were not part of any database.
