We look into the attention that Rohana Abdullah's citizenship struggles have gotten from both the Prime Minister and Home Minister, and why her case stood out to policy makers. Then we look at what it means for others in similar situations, and whether stakeholders believe it can be a catalyst for true policy reform. Finally, we catch up with Virman, a stateless person, about what applying for citizenship is really like.
