The government team standing firmly with the motion “THBT” Malaysian should be allowed to have dual citizenship .

Currently, under Article 24 of the Federal Constitution it stated that, Malaysia citizen was not allowed to have dual citizenship, by having more than one citizenship, they will automatically loss their Malaysia citizenship.

And that is exactly why we must change this out dated law-because it’s no longer protecting Malaysia but it’s holding us back.

Point 1 : Economic Empowerment

Allowing dual citizenship makes it easier for Malaysians to access bigger markets

Imagine if Malaysian entrepreneurs could easily access markets like Australia, the UK, or the US and at the same time, bring that network and investment back to Malaysia.

Point 2 : Family unity and Individual rights

Many malaysian marry foreigners (mix marriages)

Then they have to choose either the Malaysian partner gives up their citizenship to stay with their family abroad, or the foreign spouse and children struggle for years to obtain residency rights in Malaysia

Participating in a debate as an assessment was a new and challenging experience. It helped us to improve not only our speaking skills but also our ability to research, think critically, and defend our arguments under pressure. We learned how important it is to listen carefully to opposing viewpoints and respond respectfully with evidence and logic. Overall, it taught us the value of preparation, teamwork, and staying calm (especially if you’re teaming up with your besties 🤣) while presenting in front of others. Lastly, we would love to thank our beloved lcc033 lecturer, Miss Amirah for her time, guidance, and support to our class as a whole ! We love you Miss Cantik 💗 See you when we see you again Miss ^_^
