Description: Statelessness is a global human rights problem that affects millions of people. The absence of a nationality makes it difficult for stateless persons to access education, healthcare, employment, and social security benefits. In Malaysia, there is an alarming number of stateless persons despite attempts to reduce statelessness through litigation and advocacy efforts. Since 2015, Since 2015, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) has received 1,291 complaints related to statelessness. There have been significant efforts to understand statelessness from a legal perspective and broader, macro policies. However, less attention has been paid to understand the micro, intersectional lived experiences of stateless persons. This research consists of a rigorous desk review based on the existing body of legal and social science knowledge relevant to statelessness in Peninsular Malaysia, as well as in-depth empirical fieldwork done through interviews with multiple stakeholders surrounding statelessness, including stateless people themselves.
