MyKad for decades, citizenship in doubt: NRD prioritises cases affecting jobs, healthcare and education

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 — The National Registration Department (NRD) is prioritising reviews of citizenship status involving MyKad holders whose daily lives have been affected, particularly in areas such as employment, education, medical treatment and banking.

The Home Ministry (KDN) said priority was given to such critical cases based on an assessment of the facts and supporting documents, without compromising legal requirements.

It said each case was scrutinised based on birth records, identity card registration details, citizenship documents and other relevant evidence.

“In cases involving discrepancies, investigations and verifications are conducted in accordance with legal procedures before any decision is reached.

“Assessments are based on the facts and evidence of each case, rather than merely the length of time an individual has held an identification document,” the ministry said in a written parliamentary reply published on Parliament’s website.

The reply was in response to a question from Datuk Suhaili Abdul Rahman (Independent-Labuan), who asked about the government’s immediate measures to resolve cases involving long-term MyKad holders whose citizenship status was being reviewed, in some instances after decades of holding the identity cards.

He said the situation had affected their employment, education and daily lives.

The ministry advised individuals whose registration details contained discrepancies to apply for data corrections.

Those whose citizenship status remained undetermined, meanwhile, were required to submit formal applications through the appropriate legal channels before identification documents could be issued.

It added that individuals whose identity documents had been revoked due to inaccurate information could submit new applications through the established procedures, subject to the facts of their respective cases.

Meanwhile, the NRD continues to strengthen its verification, data-matching and biometric security mechanisms in accordance with the National Registration Act 1959 and the National Registration Regulations 1990. — Bernama

Soldier jailed 34 years, given 14 strokes of rotan for raping wife's 12-year-old niece

吉隆坡，10 月 28 日讯——国民登记局 (NRD) 正在优先审查 MyKad 持有者的公民身份，这些持有者的日常生活受到了影响，尤其是在就业、教育、医疗和银行业务等领域。

内政部（KDN）表示，在不违反法律要求的前提下，会根据事实和佐证文件的评估，优先处理此类重大案件。

声明称，每个案件都根据出生记录、身份证登记详情、公民身份文件和其他相关证据进行审查。

“对于存在差异的情况，在做出任何决定之前，将按照法律程序进行调查和核实。

该部在议会网站上公布的书面答复中表示：“评估是基于每个案件的事实和证据，而不是仅仅基于个人持有身份证件的时间长短。”

答复是针对拿督苏海利·阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼（独立议员-纳闽）提出的问题。他询问政府将采取哪些紧急措施来解决长期持有马来西亚身份证（MyKad）且其公民身份正在接受审查的案件，其中一些人持有身份证已有数十年之久。

他说，这种情况已经影响到他们的就业、教育和日常生活。

该部门建议登记信息有误的个人申请数据更正。

与此同时，那些公民身份尚未确定的人，必须通过适当的法律渠道提交正式申请，才能获得身份证明文件。

声明还补充说，因信息不准确而被撤销身份证件的个人，可以根据具体情况，按照既定程序提交新的申请。

与此同时，国民登记局继续根据1959年《国民登记法》和1990年《国民登记条例》加强其核实、数据匹配和生物识别安全机制。——马新社
