Orang Asli children should not be denied documentation over parents’ marriage records, says National Registration Dept国家登记部门表示，不应剥夺原住民儿童获得父母结婚记录相关文件的权利。
GUA MUSANG, Oct 13 — Orang Asli children should not be left without documentation because of issues involving their parents’ marriage records, said National Registration...
Orang Asli children should not lack documentation due to their parents' marriage record issues, according to JPN director-general Datuk Badrul Hisham Alias.
JPN will evaluate each case individually, considering facts, documents, and the Orang Asli's customs to resolve birth registration issues.
The MEKAR Programme has issued 143 MyKads to the Orang Asli in Kelantan, but the total number without documentation is still unknown.
GUA MUSANG, Oct 13 — Orang Asli children should not be left without documentation because of issues involving their parents’ marriage records, said National Registration Department (JPN) director-general Datuk Badrul Hisham Alias.
He said JPN would assess each case based on the facts, supporting documents and individual circumstances to determine the appropriate action, particularly for birth registration.
He said the department respected the customs and culture of the Orang Asli community, but customary marriages and the legal requirements for marriage registration had to be assessed in accordance with the applicable laws.
“Children should not be left without documentation assistance just because their parents face marriage record issues. We respect customs, obey the law and help find solutions,” he told reporters after attending the Registration Literacy Programme held in conjunction with the 78th state-level National Registration Day celebration at Pos Balar here.
Badrul Hisham said each case had to be assessed individually, with no automatic conclusions drawn about the recognition of customary marriages without considering the specific facts and circumstances.
He said 143 New Generation MyKads had been issued to the Orang Asli community in Kelantan through the MEKAR Programme, which brings registration services closer to the community.
He clarified that the figure referred only to MyKads issued through the programme and did not represent the total number of new MyKads issued to the Orang Asli community in the state.
JPN was also obtaining identification data from the Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA) to determine how many Orang Asli in Kelantan did not have a MyKad or birth certificate as of 2026.
“The data will be used to help JPN review records and mobilise the MEKAR Programme, thereby ensuring that identified cases receive follow-up action and appropriate documentation assistance,” he said.
He said the total number of Orang Asli without the documents could not yet be confirmed as JPN had not received the data from JAKOA.
On another matter, Badrul Hisham said JPN had also identified issues involving permanent resident card (MyPR) or red MyKad holders, but the latest total was still being verified before it could be announced.
JPN stressed that each case had to be assessed based on the individual’s status and documentation to ensure the appropriate action was taken. — Bernama

据JPN总监拿督巴德鲁·希沙姆·阿里亚斯称，原住民儿童不应因父母的婚姻记录问题而缺乏证件。
日本将逐案评估，考虑事实、文件和原住民习俗，以解决出生登记问题。
MEKAR计划已向吉兰丹州的原住民发放了143份MyKad，但目前仍不清楚有多少人没有相关证件。
瓜拉姆桑，10 月 13 日讯——国民登记局（JPN）总监拿督巴德鲁·希沙姆·阿里亚斯表示，不应因为父母的结婚记录问题而使原住民儿童失去证件。
他表示，JPN 将根据事实、佐证文件和具体情况对每个案件进行评估，以确定适当的行动，特别是出生登记方面的行动。
他说，该部门尊重原住民社区的习俗和文化，但习惯婚姻和婚姻登记的法律要求必须按照适用的法律进行评估。
“不应仅仅因为父母面临结婚证件问题就让孩子得不到任何证件方面的帮助。我们尊重习俗，遵守法律，并帮助寻找解决方案。”他在出席于此地巴拉尔邮政站举行的第78届州级全国登记日庆祝活动暨登记知识普及计划后对记者说。
巴德鲁·希沙姆表示，每个案件都必须单独评估，在不考虑具体事实和情况的情况下，不能自动得出关于承认习惯婚姻的结论。
他表示，通过 MEKAR 计划，吉兰丹州的 Orang Asli 社区已获得 143 张新一代 MyKad 身份证，该计划旨在让社区更便捷地享受登记服务。
他澄清说，该数字仅指通过该计划发放的身份证数量，并不代表向该州原住民社区发放的新身份证总数。
JPN 还从原住民发展部 (JAKOA) 获取身份数据，以确定截至 2026 年吉兰丹有多少原住民没有 MyKad 或出生证明。
他说：“这些数据将用于帮助JPN审查记录并启动MEKAR计划，从而确保已确定的案例得到后续行动和适当的文件协助。”
他表示，由于JPN尚未收到JAKOA的数据，因此目前还无法确认没有证件的原住民总人数。
关于另一件事，巴德鲁·希沙姆表示，JPN 还发现了一些涉及永久居民卡（MyPR）或红色 MyKad 持有者的问题，但最新的总数仍在核实中，之后才能公布。
日本警察厅强调，每个案件都必须根据个人的具体情况和相关文件进行评估，以确保采取适当的行动。——马新社
