Mr Ng Yeow Chong asked the Minister for Labour whether persons born in Singapore, at present holding Malaysian identity cards and residing in Singapore, will be issued with new Singapore Citizen identity cards.

Mr Barker: Mr Speaker, Sir, Singapore citizens by birth who are holding Malaysian identity cards will be issued with the new Singapore citizen identity cards if they reside in Singapore. The onus of proof that one is a Singapore citizen by birth will have to be on the applicant.
