Dear Whitehead, Jane,

Thank You. What kind of most evidencing U.K. documents and related
information are normally needed to show that a person has a form of
British Nationality through establishing a claim from parent in
Singapore under the BNA-1948 & 1981?

Dear Whitehead, Jane,
Thank you for your reply.

BRITISH NATIONALITY : BRIEF HISTORY OF FACTUAL BACKGROUNDS

1.1 The concept of "British nationality" originated from that of
"British subject" [ i.e. a person owing allegiance to the Sovereign
]. In earlier times, the Sovereign claimed the allegiance of all
persons born within the dominions, and Parliament later extended
this in various ways to persons of British descent born elsewhere.
1.2 As the Commonwealth developed, the countries which became self
governing Dominions enacted their own nationality legislation; but
until 1946, all such legislation within the Commonwealth was, by
mutual agreement, framed in practically identical terms. In
1946-47, it was agreed at Commonwealth meetings that the previous
arrangement should be replaced by a system under which each
Commonwealth country should define its own citizenship and
recognize citizens of every Commonwealth country as possessing the
common status of British subject or Commonwealth citizen. Thus the
common status of British nationality would remain, but it would in
future be obtained by possessing the citizenship of any of the
constituent parts of the Commonwealth.
1.3 So far as concerns the United Kingdom and Colonies [ which
formed a single unit for citizenship purposes ], the changes agreed
in Commonwealth whose citizens were British subjects or
Commonwealth citizens in United Kingdom law.

MALAYSIA / SINGAPORE

The Malaysian BOC situation has its roots in the period prior to
Malayan independence in 1957. The nine Malay states were British
protectorates. However, the Settlements of Penang and Malacca were
colonies. In 1949, residents there became entitled to Citizen of
the United Kingdom and Colonies [ CUKC ] passports. Chinese
residents, many of whom had immigrated to Malaya at the behest of
the British, felt considerable attachment to their status as
‘Straits Chinese’, also known as the ‘King’s Chinese’ or ‘Queens
Chinese’. At the time there was no objection to dual citizenship.
When Malaya federated in 1957, they were permitted to retain CUKC
passports. The children of fathers born in Penang and Malacca
before 31 August 1957 were able to apply for CUKC passports.

1955 – 1959 PARTIAL INTERNAL SELF GOVERNMENT OF SINGAPORE
1959 – 1963 FULL INTERNAL SELF GOVERNMENT OF STATE OF SINGAPORE

From 1958–1965 Singapore morphed from British colony to self
governing state to special autonomous state in the Federation of
Malaya to an independent state. British Government decided to
disband Straits Settlements and merge Penang and Malacca with the
federated and unfederated existing Malay states to form the Malayan
union. Singapore was thus transformed into the British colony of
Singapore and continued to be administered from London.

The Merger Referendum passed in 1962 and led to Singapore joining
the Federation of Malaya along with Malaya Sabah and Sarawak as a
state with autonomous powers in Sep 1963. 09 Jul 1963 the leaders
of Singapore, Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak signed the Malaysia
Agreement to establish the Federation of Malaysia. With the
conclusion of Malaysia Agreement all Singapore citizens became
automatically Malaysian citizens without registration on 16 Sep
1963 upon Singapore’s MERGER with the enlarged Federation of Malaya
on that date [ then renamed Malaysia ].

And upon Singapore’s secession from the Federation of Malaya on 06
Aug 1965 a new Constitution came into effect which granted special
State of Singapore citizenship to all local residents in Singapore
AND to all pre-independence colonial BSCUKC passport holders who
were British subject with CUKCs as of 16 Sep 1963 and these
Singapore citizens were still considered British citizens at that
time as / since exercising Singapore Citizenship Ordinance was
first created in 1957 and became law on 21stOct-1957 before the
commencement of Singapore Constitution when Singapore was a within
self governing colony of the United Kingdom.

With the passage of the 1958 Constitution, Singapore attained the
status of a self -governing state AND with a creation of a self-
governing “State of Singapore’’, the British Government retained
control over defence, foreign affairs and internal security through
the presence of the Queen’s representative, the U.K. Commissioner
and then all people became “Citizen of Singapore’’ by operation of
law.

Under the 1958 Constitution, the Head of State, swore allegiance to
Queen Elizabeth II of the U.K. i.e. He acted as the Queen’s
representative and as such did not possess any personal discretion
and he also acted more as a proxy for the British Government.

The 1958 Constitution was the last Constitution requiring any
office bearer in Singapore to swear Oath of Allegiance to the
British Crown.

The people in and outside the U.K. believe the only authority for
their British Nationality clarifications and to restore fair and
Justice thro legal interpretations from the BNA-1948 & 1981 is the
UKBA for their AGGRIEVING AND SUFFERING UNREMEDIED INJUSTICES for
last two decades [ since 1990 ] delivering by the FCO in India
because there is no right of appeal process for British Passport [
Royal Prerogative ]

I very much regret to inform you because as you are an officially
trained and professionally qualified, diligent head staff of
responsibility for the Nationality policy and I am a general public
roughly studied British Nationality history and legislation. I have
many more evidences from the FCO & UKBA’s previous correspondences
since 1990 and U.K. public general acts of British Nationality Acts
– 1948 & 1981 and its statutory instruments and materials that your
above-said interpretation is totally wrong. I do NOT know why UKBA
writes wrong against its own reputable laws of history.

Your said definitions, for nationality purposes, regarding Malaysia
and Singapore is contradicting your own views from the UKBA and
British Nationality history.

British Nationality system attracts the worldly renowned law of
reputation to the U.K.

I do NOT think you are NOT aware of Independence legislations and
retention provisions and dual nationality system of HMG.

The route of claim to British Nationality is mainly from the people
of prosperous Madras Province, South India_ in connection with
trading and businesses in Federation of Malaya and Singapore prior
to Indian independence.

The claim to British Passport is under the provisions of British
Nationality Act – 1981 which is a matter of law enacted by the
British Parliament.

I have peculiar evidences that persons have been issued BOC
passports when their father has citizen of Malaysia passport at the
time of their birth prior to 31.12.1982

I have peculiar evidences that persons have been issued BOC
passports when their father has citizen of Singapore passport at
the time of their birth prior to 31.012.1982.

I therefore request you to do process fairly and justly on the
basis of Royal Prerogative,

Articles 1, 2, 7, 8, 15 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights adopted and proclaimed by the United Nations on 10
December 1948

Articles 1, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17 and 18 of the European Convention on
Human Rights

Articles 9, 10, 13, 14, 17 and 18 of the United Kingdom Human
Rights Act – 1998 which is operational from 02.10.2000 and Law and
Justice of the HMG.

IF NOT, if Government’s policy changes, or if you do not want to
implement the BNA-1981 in India particularly in prosperous Madras
Province, South India, PLEASE refer this to the House of Lords and
House of Commons of HMG and let them repeal that provisions
concerning Malaysia and Singapore by the British Parliament in
legal manner. We will NOT, never ever claim our parental claim to
British Nationality anymore, I assure for myself and on behalf of
our whole Muslim community in Tamilnadu, South India. CUKCs will
die out with our parents.

Please DO NOT NEED to waste your U.K. precious times to correspond
to say :

lies leading to procedural blunders
revealing racial discriminations against Muslims
wrong definitions
inappropriate interpretations
contradictory statements
concealment of material facts
disobeying of U.K. legislations
unfair victimizations
decades of waiting time
unjust refusal AND
unjust fee retentions

Thanking you

As I am afraid if I more explain in this public domain it would NOT
be appropriate for the UKBA, please provide me your personal e.
mail to deal with further evidences.

Justice be prevail in the U.K. and the rest of the world.

Yours sincerely,

ARMHashim
