Their plan is to set up a special committee to resolve the cases of children without birth certificates. The advisor to the ministry, Datuk Shamsiah Abdul Rahman, said the committee would comprise representatives from government agencies such as the National Registration Department and the Social Welfare Department as well as non-governmental organisations (NGOs).The ministry also plans to implement a special programme to facilitate the registration of children without birth certificates, by which parents or guardians of children without birth certificates could register their births at designated places announced by the ministry.
