KUCHING: It will be a double celebration this Chinese New Year for Kueh Meng Liang as he was finally granted citizenship after seven years of waiting.
The 19-year-old had submitted his first application in 2011 but was rejected by the National Registration Department.
Over the years, Meng Liang resubmitted again several more times but all his applications were unsuccessful due to absence of supporting documents.
One of the reasons was that the teenager never knew who his biological parents were.
They left him under the care of his 70-year-old grandmother before he was adopted by Kueh Siak Hock.
