Sabah Needs More Cares From Federal

I read with regrets from the following Bernama News this morning:-

TAWAU, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said students who have no birth certificates can still enrol at secondary schools provided one of the parents are Malaysian citizens.

The announcement should at least solved some of the woes of the Sabahan on educational aspect but what about other areas such as when visiting health services, welfare department, and so on.


"Hishammuddin said delay by the National Registration Department (NRD) to issue birth certificates should not be used as an excuse by schools to reject the students."

"The NRD will take some time to issue the birth certificates and this will pose a problem to the students when applying to enrol at schools," he added."

Well, I hope that Syed Hamid, the minister of Home Affairs is listening and really pressing his ministry and the NRD to work faster as the livelihood of these people are at stake because of their "blur" status. Be they granted citizenship or not, the process period must not be delayed unreasonably so as to affect their life.

The undetermined figure of actual citizens (census)in the state would also cause incorrect economic and government services planning.

The performance of the NRD has been poor judging from the impression given by the general public who has to deal with the department on citizenship or status application.

BN government can solve all the problems of the people if and only if the man-in-charge has the caring "heart" or sincerity. Sabahan will definitely appreciate for those who has been helping the state.
