bear_bear 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2007 Hi, I m a mum to be ~ CNY 2008. I m a Sarawakian n my hubby is not. I wish my children is Sarawakian - easier entry, working opportunity in S'wak, etc. Is there anyone with the experience of delivering babe in peninsula, and managed to get that status of Swakian for the child? If flying back there to deliver is the only option, I need to on board before ~ 28 weeks of pregnancy. And that my maternity leave & annual leave will not enough to cover me n my baby up to my confinement period. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yuhchyng 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 bear_bear, Many of my Sarawakian friends go back to Sarawak to deliver their babies. Therefore, I don't think if the child is born in WM but can get Sarawakian status. Anyway, you can find it out with Jabatan Pendaftaran before making decision.

Anyway, you can find it out with Jabatan Pendaftaran before making decision. can get east malaysian status. but during do ic time. not during new born. just fill up a form to change status. but one of the parent must have valid east malaysian ic, i mean with east malaysia address printed on the ic. if parent already converted to west malaysia address, then parent need to change ic first before they can change status for the child.

Hi jocelyn & yuhchyng, Thanks for the sharing. I will confirm with Jab Pendaftaran then. What i knew of was if both parents are Sarawakian, then can change status during IC making. Thank you.

bear_bear 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2007 Hi Jocelyn, U r rite. I went to confirmed with Jab Pendaftaran, there is no way to change the state of delivery. :( So sad. And I know 1 case that IC is WM, but passport can get 'K' status if the father is EM. Tnx + Rgds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leonamanutd 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 Hi guys I know this is old news..but let me just clarify for future mums to be who wants to know. The law is like this, it doesn't matter where the baby is born.1) If the father is EM, the mother is EM, the baby is born in WM, the baby will still have the EM status. the My KAD will have 'K' on it regardless what is the address.2) If the father is EM, the mother is WM, the baby is born in WM, the baby will still have the EM status. the My KAD will have 'K' on it regardless what is the address.3) If the father is WM, the mother is EM, the baby is born in WM, the baby will NOT have the EM status. the My KAD will NOT have 'K' on it regardless what is the address.4) If the father is EM and the baby is WM, the baby is born the EM, the baby will still have the EM status. the My KAD will have 'K' on it regardless what is the address.5) If the father is WM, the mother is EM, the baby is born in EM, the baby will NOT have the EM status. the My KAD will NOT have 'K' on it regardless what is the address.So basically what I'm saying is the father status is most important, not the mother's, and not where the baby is born. There are cases whereby the parents are WM, the baby is born in EM, born and bred grew up, but unable to get a WORK PERMIT. Like working in a foreign country, you have to apply for a work permit and you have to be exceptional in your field to be granted one. For eg. if you just want to work in a supermarket, the government would not grant such a permit. If you are a professor, a professional etc, then they will probably grant the permit. So, I guess for EM ladies who wants your babies to be EM status, the only way is u have to marry EM! Or else, you have to accept for the fact that you have married to WM and have to settle there for life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear_bear 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 hi leonamatutd,thanks for the info.i think u r right.in the end i deliver in WM.now my kid is 1.5 mths old.when i saw the birth cert with the number something like IC no. with state indication of WM, i sense something wrong.he is WM. i dont think there is any chance to change the status of EM or WM.

Vixtor 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2016 Bear_bear,your child can get the K ic when he or she is 12 years old as you are holding the Sarawakian "K" ic so don't worry. It's not about father being East Malaysian. It's about either parents being an East Malaysian. leonamanutd,With all due respects, you did not study the law completely as it's not about the father, but it's about either the parents being Sarawakian and the children can get it regardless whether they are born in Sarawak or not. In other words, children of one of the parents being Sarawakians can get K ic and you are just being fakely biased with your lies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
