Home Minister ‘surprised’ with many without MyKad or birth cert

Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, the Home Minister said that he is surprised to see so many ‘stateless’ Malaysians who are without their MyKad while there is a big number who do not have birth certificates of which a majority of these cases are in Sarawak. He said that “The National Registration Department's mobile units had found that as many as 30,000 people did not have MyKad, 96,000 people did not have birth certificates and more than 60,000 people were holders of red identity cards.

The majority of these cases were in Sarawak” Speaking at the BN (Barisan Nasional)’s campaign in Sibu he added that “In Sibu itself, there are people living and working here who have no MyKads! We did not know the problem was so widespread. We knew many rural people did not have these personal documents but not in the cities and towns. I am committed to resolving these problems because they are among the top priorities for the Government's key performance indicators. The birth certificate and MyKad woes must be solved immediately or else there would be more children who could not sit for public exams, thereby increasing social problems involving school dropouts.”

Ever big mouth `His-shame`, dont try to be so arrogrant not unless your men are cheating out on you all this while . Federal govt had never cared about the welfare of its people. Your men only cares about giving MYKADS and birth cert to illegal immigrants when there are kick-backs . Poor rural folks have nothing to offer. The MP`s are equally to be blamed for cheating the people all these years !
