I already submitted a citizenship application under Article 15(2) [Borang B], does the amendment means I can cancel my existing application to submit a new application for automatic citizenship?

No, you should not cancel your existing citizenship application under Article 15(2) (Borang B). It is currently the only route available for EXISTING Malaysian mothers of overseas-born children to apply for citizenship. The new amendment, once gazetted, will only apply to children born after its enforcement, it is not retroactive and does not benefit children born before the amendment. Therefore, canceling your existing Borang B application would leave you with no alternative path to secure citizenship for your child. It’s important to continue with the Borang B process while ensuring all required documentation is complete to avoid delays or rejections. If your application is unsuccessful, you can reapply until your child turns 18.
