Kids get birth certs and MyKid thanks to local leaders
Compiled by FAZLEENA AZIZ, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN THREE Indian siblings from Selangor aged between four and 10 finally obtained their birth certificates and MyKid after a four-year effort by Hulu Selangor MIC, Makkal Osai reported. Mohan and Letchumi from Kuala Kubu Baru have 10 children. Mohan is not working, and the family depends on Letchumi's meagre income. The couple overlooked obtaining the documents for the three children, but eventually sought the help of local MIC leader Karuppiah and the district MIC chief Datuk K. Suresh. Businessman and philanthropist Datuk PS Samy also helped the couple and the three kids financially to travel to the local National Registration Department office. Selangor MIC chief Shankar Raj Iyengar handed over the birth certificates and MyKid to the three children and their parents during a simple ceremony at the annual general meeting of the state MIC. Mohan and Letchumi thanked the leaders for their help in getting the documents sorted out. The above articles are compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).

JAKOA brings gov't services to remote Orang Asli settlements in Nenggiri
GUA MUSANG: The Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA), together with various government agencies, has launched an outreach expedition to deliver essential services to three remote Orang Asli settlements in the Nenggiri state constituency under the Mesra Rakyat (People-Friendly) programme. JAKOA director-general Datuk Sapiah Mohd Nor said the programme involved strategic collaboration with several government agencies. They include the Social Welfare Department, National Registration Department (NRD), Ministry of Health, National Anti-Drugs Agency, Gua Musang Court, South Kelantan Development Authority and the Nenggiri state assemblyman's service centre. She said the collaboration aimed to facilitate direct access to government services for the Orang Asli, without requiring them to endure long and difficult journeys to town, with Pos Simpor, Pos Pasik and Kuala Wook selected as the destinations for the two-day expedition, which began yesterday. 'This initiative is the result of coordination among various agencies under the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development,' she told reporters during the programme at Pos Pasik, here today. Meanwhile, Nenggiri assemblyman Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani said the initiative received overwhelming support from local residents, who took advantage of the chance to engage directly with various government agencies present. The most popular service was the NRD counter, which received about 140 applications for identity card replacements, 10 late birth registration applications, and 145 applications for MyKid. 'A total of 138 advisory services were also provided to residents regarding documentation and citizenship rights,' he said. Meanwhile, for Zulaina Alim, 30, a Temiar woman living in Pos Pasik, the programme marked a turning point in her life when she finally managed to register the birth of her child, who is now 12 years old. She said her child was born at the Kuala Betis resettlement scheme health clinic, but she had to return to her village, more than 70 kilometres away from Gua Musang shortly after giving birth, causing the registration to be delayed for more than a decade. 'I came today solely to apply for the birth certificate and Alhamdulillah, the process went smoothly. My child will finally have a birth certificate,' she said.
