Members of the Indian community who have no identity documents are advised to take the opportunity to apply for these documents during the eight-day 'Mydaftar' campaign beginning Feb 19. MIC vice-president M Saravanan said the campaign was to ensure that they obtained their identity documents and avoid facing problems in future. "The Mydaftar campaign had been approved by the government to assist the Indian community who are facing problems as they have no birth certificate, identity card and still possess the red identity card and have yet to apply for a citizenship," he told reporters after attending a briefing on the campaign together with the Indian community at the Public Housing Project in Kampung Air Panas Baru, in Kuala Lumpur today.
The campaign is being organised jointly by the Special Implementation Task Force of the Cabinet Committee on the Indian Community, and the National Registration Department, and supported by several other government agencies besides the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the MIC. Saravanan, who is also the Deputy Minister of Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing, said under the campaign, the Indian community without any personal documents would be assisted in filling up their application forms by the Special Implementation Task Force, the MIC, NGOs and volunteers supporting the campaign.
