From cradle to grave, Francis Xavier, 85, and an estimated 450,000 Indians are denied their Identity Cards and Birth Certificates. 

To the contrary millions of Indonesians have been given citizenship. Their children can even become the Menteri Besar of Selangor in the person of Khir Toyo. 

We are not asking for the Menteri Besar’s post. The Indians are merely demanding their birth right to be citizens by operation of law as is provided in Article 14 of the Federal Constitution.
