Meet Roisah, a previously stateless person, now Malaysian citizen. When I first met Roisah, she was on the precipice of becoming a legal adult in Malaysian law and was racing against clock to obtain citizenship before she became ineligible as a result of no longer being a minor. We talk about how she discovered she was stateless at a government counter when she was 12 years old, what she had to endure, what kinds of administrative work and advocacy she did, and the performances she had to give in order to obtain citizenship.
