My Article 15(2) [Borang B] application was rejected. For reapplication, shall I wait till the bill is passed and gazetted?

The amendment is not retroactive, meaning it will only apply to children born after it is gazetted. For children born before the amendment is gazetted, including your child(ren), the existing process under Article 15(2) (Borang B) remains applicable. The government has not provided an explanation as to why the amendment was not made retroactive. However, they have assured that Borang B applications will be processed within one year, although the decision ultimately rests with the discretion of the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN). If your application is rejected, you can reapply until your child turns 18.
