The
Barisan Nasional government has always been prepared to help the Indian
community with documentation cases such as applications for
citizenships, birth certificates and identity cards, said Human Resource
Minister Dr S. Subramaniam.
Stating
that upon realising that some in the Indian community were facing
citizenship problems, the government launched the MyDaftar programme in
85 locations nationwide two years ago, he said that this showed the
government’s commitment to the problems.
As
of the present, a total of 9,529 applications have been received, of
which 6,590 have been given citizenship status and other documentations,
said Subramaniam.
He also added that more cases were being received even until now.
“We’re
still prepared to assist anytime and even locate hospital documents to
verify the applicants’ birth place,” he said at a press conference on
the 1Malaysia MySihat Indian programme, at Wisma PERKESO in Kuala Lumpur
on Monday.
On
Sunday, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak dismissed allegations that there
were 300,000 Indians without citizenships or identity cards as
Opposition lies meant to influence the people to hate the government.
