“I was informed by the ruler’s office that he wanted the government officers to brief him on Ragu’s case. He is showing concern over the lives and living conditions of his subjects,” Sivanesan said here yesterday.
Home Minister Syed Hamid said that a temporary (green MyKad) identification document will be issued “immediately” with the state NRD until the Home Ministry considers Ragu’s application for permanent MyKad.
According to Syed Hamid, the green card was stopped in 2004, but now there are plans to reissue them for thousands of Malaysian who suffer without proper identity cards.
Obviously, there will be an investigation, according to him to identify who gave wrong information to Ragu.
“He should not have been asked to go to the palace to obtain the letter. We do not involve the Rulers in this situation. That is not the way we (the NRD) operate.”
He said the ministry would attend to Ragu’s problem immediately, adding that it could have been avoided if the parties concerned had carried out their duties diligently.
