Irrelevant. The players were not issued citizenship because their grandparents were born in this country (allegedly). There is no such law in Malaysia. They were offered citizenship under the ministry’s own discretionary, not because grandparents born here allegedly.

The grandparents cerita is needed to create forged birth certs to bypass FIFA rule.

If these players had resided in this country for more than five years, there is no need for all that grandparents birth story. FIFA minimum years of residency is five years.

Unfortunately these players haven’t reached five years hence they tried to bypass via FIFA heritage rule, which allows citizens to play for any country as long as they’re a citizen and their grandparents were born in that country.

JPN that magic and creates fake birth certs for the grandparents which we now know is fake.
