They Care For All?

Yesterday NST highlighted the plight of Malaysians-Indian man R.Ragu who was running up and down to National Registration Department for his identification card. One of the officers in home ministry advised him to get a supporting letter from Perak Ruler to support his application. I'm not in shock after read his plight because this is commonly happening and there was many a lips promise's but end of the day nothing much to proud. Partially parents must be blamed too for their ignorance's to certify their marriage, to document their kid's birth certificate and identification card. The most touching news I read again in today NST was, the pro-active actions by Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah. His Majesty summoned A.Sivanesan State EXCO and directors for State Registration Department and Welfare department to Istana Kinta today. I believe His Majesty, genuinely has shown his interest to solve the problem faced by Mr.R.Ragu. I really hope Ragu will make sure his kids are documented and will not allow the same trauma he go through to re-occur to his kids.

 

Well before the general elections, umno government suddenly jump their gun and promised to solve the problem and they ever went to organise the mass registration camp but after the elections they went back to the procedural and process. Its shows there are motivated politically to organised the camp but not genuine to solve the problem. The Indonesian who went to Malaysia by "tongkang" illegally was granted a citizenship in less than 10 years but Ragu who born in this country was asked to get the Ruler's consent letter if he want the identification card. This is what Umno slogans say "they care for all?"
