GUA MUSANG - The Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa) has successfully completed 71 documentation registration cases involving the Orang Asli community in Kelantan so far.
Jakoa Kelantan and Terengganu deputy director Roslina Bun said of the total, 53 cases involved new registration of personal identification cards (MyKad), while 18 cases involved late registration of birth certificates.
She said the cases were resolved through several programmes carried out Jakoa such as the Outreach programme and the ‘Kembara Mesra Rakyat’ involving Orang Asli settlements.
"We cooperate with several other agencies such as the National Registration Department (JPN) and the Social Welfare Department (JKM).
"Through these programmes, the JKM also managed to track down a number of Orang Asli asnaf (tithe recipients), in addition to cases of People with Disabilities card applications,” she said when met by reporters at Kampung Bihai Lama here today.
Earlier, Roslina presented clothing contributions to the Orang Asli community in preparation for Aidiladha on Thursday. - BERNAMA
