Warga asing hadir ke JPN untuk daftar kelahiran, bukan mohon Mykad
Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara menafikan dakwaan tular itu dengan berkata bukan semua individu yang berada di kaunter hadir untuk mendapatkan MyKad.
Yesterday's video showed some Rohingya refugees at a JPN office, with an X user claiming they were there to obtain MyKad. The National Registration Department (JPN) today denied claims that many foreigners at the JPN counter were seeking MyKad. JPN said not all individuals at the counter were there to apply for or receive MyKad; instead, it provides various registration and documentation services for foreigners.
According to them, this includes registering children's births that need to be done by JPN regardless of parents' nationality. JPN also clarified that registering a baby's birth does not automatically grant Malaysian citizenship. "The purple-and-black certificate of birth is proof that registration has taken place in Malaysia, but it does not mean the child is a Malaysian citizen.
Such certificates are also issued to non-citizens," they said in a Facebook post. The video showed some Rohingya refugees at a JPN office, with an X user claiming they were there to obtain MyKad.
