GUA MUSANG: A total of 184 documentation matters involving the Orang Asli community in remote areas here have been resolved through the National Registration Department’s (NRD) Menyemai Kasih Rakyat (Mekar) programme.
The National Registration Department's (NRD) Mekar programme has successfully resolved 184 documentation cases involving the Orang Asli community in remote areas, according to the New Straits Times. The programme, which was carried out under the Kembara Be Ades Ma Kampung initiative in the Galas state constituency, addressed a variety of cases including identity card replacements, MyKid applications, first-time identity card applications, and amendments to identity card details and birth certificates.
In addition to resolving these cases, the programme provided registration and documentation advisory services to 270 residents. The Mekar programme has significantly improved access to NRD services for the Orang Asli community, making it easier for them to obtain necessary documentation without facing financial and logistical constraints.
