JAKARTA - Commission III of the DPR RI approved the application for naturalization of football player Shayne Elian Jay Pattynama to become an Indonesian citizen (WNI). The approval was given at a meeting of Commission III of the DPR with the Indonesian Minister of Youth and Sports Zainuddin Amali, PSSI and the Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Edward Omar Sharif at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, November 9. "Can Commission III of the DPR RI approve the request for consideration of granting Indonesian citizenship on behalf of Shayne Elian Jay Patinama for further processing through laws and regulations?" said Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR, Adies Kadir as chair of the meeting. "Agreed," replied the entire member. Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Edward Omar Sharif or Eddy, explained a number of considerations for approval of Shayne Pattynama's naturalization into an Indonesian citizen. One of them is the aspect of citizenship that has met the requirements. "From the consideration of the citizenship aspect, it has met the requirements as stipulated in Article 20 of Law 12 of 2006 concerning Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia in conjunction with Article 15 of Government Regulation Number 21 of 2022 concerning Amendments to Government Regulation Number 2 of 2007 concerning Procedures for Respecting, Loss, Cancellation and Repaying of Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia," explained Eddy. "Meanwhile, from the sports aspect, it has met several provisions as stipulated in Law 11 of 2022 concerning Sport," he continued. Then, said Eddy, Shayne also has an Indonesian lineage from his father through the State Secretariat. It is known that his father was a Maluku who was born in Semarang, Central Java. "Therefore, the government supports the granting of Indonesian citizenship which is requested by the Ministry of Youth and Sports on behalf of Shayne," he said. Before being approved by Commission III of the DPR, Shayne's naturalization application had already received approval from Commission X of the DPR. In a meeting at Commission X of the DPR, yesterday, PSSI General Chair Mochamad Iriawan or Iwan Bule, said that his party submitted a naturalization application for Shayne based on a request from the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae Yong (STY) with Sandy Walsh and Jordi Amat. "We need to report that the naturalization desire is not from PSSI, but from STY. We only accommodate naturalized players who are requested by the national team coach. There are two players who have tapped the hammer (Walsh and Amat), they are waiting for signatures and taking oaths," explained Iwan Bule. Iwan said, Shayne is a Dutch-born football player with Maluku blood. Shayne will be prepared by PSSI to appear in the 2022 AFF Cup. "We have learned very well the advantages of players who want to be naturalized. Shayne Patty is the name of her father from Central Maluku and was born in Semarang. The main position is playing at the left back, it can also be in the midfielder and left wing, left main leg," said Iwan Bule. Responding to the DPR's approval, Shayne, who was present at the online meeting, admitted that he could not wait to immediately strengthen the Indonesian national team. "Thank you very much, I am very enthusiastic about the future of Indonesian football. I am a great leader, I want to contribute to the Indonesian national team," said Shayne.
