Bangalore news: Recently, the Supreme Court of India held a hearing on the petition of Indian overseas citizens for government recognition of dual nationality. It is understood that in the past 10 years, the Indian government has cancelled the residence permits of over 100 Indian overseas citizens on suspicion of making anti national remarks. This injects new urgency into the petition lawsuit currently being heard by the Supreme Court of India against this practice.

Indian overseas citizens are from IndiaSince 2005, special immigration status has been granted to Indian nationals holding foreign nationality or foreign spouses of Indian citizens. They can reside, work, and hold property in India, but have no voting rights. In 2021, India revised its Citizenship Act to allow authorities to deprive Indian overseas citizens of their status based on India's sovereignty, national security, or public interest, which has caused strong dissatisfaction in Indian society.

In February 2021, 80 Indian overseas citizens collectively filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of India, alleging that the amendment to the Civil Code granted the executive branch too much power to arbitrarily revoke their overseas citizenship, leaving them constantly in a state of difficulty, fear, and uncertainty. One person with Indian overseas citizenship pointed out that in the era of globalization, if India does not allow dual citizenship, it will force Indian people to abandon their own citizenship in order to obtain citizenship from other countries.

According to Yonhap News Agency, on March 11th, 430 professors from Seoul University Hospital announced that if the government does not come up with a reasonable solution to the current medical situation, they will also resign collectively in the context of a collective strike by hospitalized and intern doctors in South Korea. According to data from the South Korean Ministry of Welfare, as of 11:00 am on March 8th, a total of 11994 interns and resident doctors were absent, accounting for 92.9% of the total number. If the professor group also announces their resignation, the frontline of healthcare in South Korea may fall into even greater chaos.

It is reported that in order to prevent collective strikes by doctors from causing damage to national health, the South Korean Ministry of Law has previously establishedMedical Collective Action Victims Legal Aid Center. At present, the center accepts 127 legal aid cases. Among the accepted cases, there were 86 cases of delayed surgery, 8 cases of refused diagnosis and treatment, 3 cases of delayed admission, and 17 others.

After the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the Mahathir government acquired the equity of former Chairman of Malaysia Airlines, Dazuddin, for approximately RM1.8 billion and converted Malaysia Airlines into a state-owned enterprise. In 2014, Malaysia Airlines lost its MH370 flight and its MH17 flight was shot down over Ukraine, exacerbating the situation for this company, which has been losing money for years.
