Not all cases are considered as a security threat where illegals trying to gain citizenship.

Those in the news, they apply through the proper channels article 15A(below 21 years old), most are genuine. eg: improper documentation due to ignorance, late marriage registration to a foreign wife where the oldest child is stateless but the others are malaysians, born out of wedlock where the mother is not a Malaysian but taken care by the Malaysian father, mothers married to foreigners who want their kids to be malaysians & kids/babies abandoned without documents that are being adopted by Malaysian families.

The home minister or KDN should not view, people like Wong and others who apply via 15A as security threat but more on humanitarian grounds and how they can contribute to Malaysia in the future. Then this type of court cases will not happen.

The below, case took him 19 years to become a citizen of Malaysia.
