Dream - Marliah, a resident of Lubuklinggau, South Sumatra, is confused after losing her citizenship status. The retired teacher is instead registered as a citizen of Malaysia. This was revealed when her daughter, Inayah, was unable to obtain a Tax Identification Number (NPWP) due to unsynchronized data. It turns out that when checked at the Disdukcapil office, her citizenship status had changed.

"Inayah said, when checked, it turned out that her data with her mother had been separated, no longer registered as an Indonesian citizen (WNI). "I was also confused how could my mother change her citizenship, finally the Disdukcapil sent an official letter from the center stating that my mother's citizenship transfer to Malaysia is indeed valid," she said, quoted from Citra Sumsel, Tuesday, May 7, 2024."

"We as a family have already taken care of this issue ourselves. The Disdukcapil officer never provided the right solution to resolve this problem," he said. This problem started from the similarity of name and date of birth between someone who indeed changed nationality with Marliah."

The Head of the Population and Civil Registration Office of Lubuklinggau City, M Iqbal, explained that the request for the recovery of the Identity Card Number (NIK) on behalf of Marliah has been processed. "In the letter, there are several points. First, we follow up on the letter from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights which shows that there are two people with different names, Marliah," he said.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Two individuals are Marliah, who is a Malaysian citizen, and Marliah, who currently resides in Kota Lubuklinggau. Marliah, who resides in Malaysia, has relinquished her citizenship status as an Indonesian citizen. Now, NIK Marliah from Lubuklinggau has been reactivated as an Indonesian citizen."
