Government has Never Turned Its Back on Indians

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.
