I was born Malaysian and know no other nation as my own. Malaysia is my home. My parents are migrants from Kerala, India, but because I was born in Malaya before Merdeka, I am a Malaysian under Article 30 of the Federal Constitution. I have a document to prove it.

Therefore, I am a Constitutional Malaysian; meaning my Malaysian-ness is protected and preserved by the constitution of the Federation of Malaysia. No authority can deny me that privilege, except if I deny some terms pre-defined by the constitution.

My Malaysian-ness is therefore defined by the constitution and not by the government or any of its agents. As Malaysians we can all enjoy the same rights and privileges as guaranteed, protected and preserved by the constitution. That makes us all Constitutional Malaysians.
