Thanks to Sujieta for list below. I’ve been asking around for two weeks and no reply from the MIC folks. Dr Denison replied few days ago, though.
Note: MyDaftar is an on-going initiative by the JPN. Its not something new. You check the JPN’s website for proof. The only difference is that its being held to focus on the Indian community who’s having problems with their citizenship.

A little info on MyDaftar Campaign:
The Home Ministry advised Indian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to identify Malaysian Indians without birth, identification and citizenship documents for registration during the MyDaftar campaign for eight days from Feb 19.
Deputy Secretary-General (Registration and Immigration) Datuk Raja Azahar Raja Abdul Manap said Sunday the campaign would be held in Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor, the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Negri Sembilan, Malacca, Pahang and Johor.
He said the assistance of the NGOs was most necessary to help resolve this serious problem of a section of the Malaysian Indian community which had not had the documents for a long time.
“We do not know how many of these people are without the documents. We hope to be able to register all of them who do not have the documents,” he told reporters here.
“This is the pledge given by the Home Ministry and the National Registration Department. We will not take any action against those who have not registered their marriage or the birth of their children if they come forward during the campaign,” he said, adding that action would be taken after the campaign.
According to statistics, the ministry resolved all the 32,927 applications pertaining to the registration of these documents received between 1997 and 2006 and the 29,677 applications received between 2007 and 2009.
The MyDaftar campaign is organised by the Cabinet Committee on Indians with the National Registration Department and the Home Ministry and supported by the Information Communication and Culture Ministry. – Bernama
Very informative web page. Good work.
hi sir saya muneer dari melaka saya mempuyai masalah nama iaitu saya beragama hindutetapi nama saya nama islam macam mana nak betulkan mana saya itu
hi muneer,
masalah nama adalah perkara kedua, yg lebih penting adalah agama anda. adakah anda betul-betul hindu, ataupun tukar agama dengan sendirinya? ada bukti tak yang anda adalah hindu sejak lahir dan tiada rekod di jabatan agama mengenai anda ditukar agama?
kalau memang sah anda hindu, maka boleh ke jabatan pendaftaran negeri melaka untuk tukar nama. perlu bawa segala bukti seperti bc, mykad etc. kalau boleh, gunakan peluang MyDaftar ini.
Hi Sir,
I’m Zach from Melaka. My mom, age 59 has a red i/c. She was born in Singapore, but her father’s from Melaka with blue IC. But he past away long time ago. During 1950’s, my mom came to Melaka with her father but without any documentation. She was schooling in Melaka since standard 1. My mom married with a Malaccan and her husband is also Malaccan with blue IC. My 3 sisters and I are also having blue IC. Can she change to blue Ic. please advise. Thank you.
hi Zach,
i just visited JPN for MyDaftar. you can collect the citizenship application form and submit the relevant documents (her parents ic/death cert, your father’s ic, her children birth cert and ic, passport photo 3 copies). submit the form to malacca JPN by coming sunday. she was born in singapore, but since resided here since pre-independence, there’s good chance but no guarantees.
@poobalan, Thank you Mr Poobalan.
Rgds.
Thank you for so much for the all the contact details. It’s really very very useful…..
Dear Sir,
My mum was born in Malaysia but she is holding red ic at this moment but my father is blue ic holder. We applied for Citizenship somewhere in last year. We received a letter from JPN asking us to pay about RM300++ to get the Citizenship. Can we use this mydaftar service to get it settled. Please advise, Thank you
hi sivagamy,
since you already get letter from jpn to settle some payment to get the mykad, i think should just proceed with that. are you sure that the application has been approved and just waiting for you to collect the citizenship, or its just processing/application fee?
Hello,sir.
As i entered to this website is the reason to get some advice from you.

Plz reply soon,sir. Tanx for ur kindness..
My email: meharunissa4124@yahoo.com
hi,
are you a malay muslim? if yes, then the chances will be higher. if you are non-malay then very hard. may take 10-20 years. also depends on the occupation of your future husband, his nationality (easier if he is muslim from middle east, europe).
i can’t help because i don’t handle immigration services. you can go to Jabatan Imigresen, and they will easily provide you with the details. their website: http://www.imi.gov.my
Hello Sir, Me and my husband are both from India,came here for business in 1991 and staying here for around 20 yrs.I have 3 kids, 2 were born in India and my 3 rd kid was born in Malaysia.He holds a Malaysian BC.He is still using Indian passport.Many times we applied for PR,but we couldnt get.Is there any chance for my son to apply for Mykad as he was born here.I went to My dafter campaign.They are not giving the application form.Can you guide me.
hi,
are you both PR? I don’t think its possible for your son to get PR in Malaysia even though born here.
Thanks for your reply.we both dont have PR.My husband is having a work permit and me and my kids having a dependent pass.
then i’ll say 0 chance of getting malaysian PR.
Im a hindu gul and he is from myanmar and a hindu too. 10 to 20 years is very long. Im gonna get in to big trouble. Anyway thanks.
well, you can still get married. but he won’t get citizenship so easily, he can work here as long as got employment pass.
If our parents are still using the Malaysian Blue IC, can they open a bank account with it?
Please advise. TQ
not sure about this. have to check with the bank or JPN.

omran H/P 016xxxxx
are you malaysian? JPN is right in that need to get the marriage certificate verified (not sure if by JAIS or the sudan embassy). since you have converted already, you can approach the association related to islam like perkim, jakim, etc.
PR..well being muslim won’t be difficult. just get the form from JPN and apply.
Dear Sir,

Hi Mr. Poobalan,
My wife is a Malaysian born citizen but she only has a green IC because she is an orphan who lived in the welfare home. She has her birth certificate but it does not have the nationality of the mother. Pls do advice on what to do to get the blue IC that she deserves since she is Malaysian born and raised? Thanks
hi,
this is a common problem as people start to realise if they have green ic. jabatan pendaftaran have their own policies which sees valid cases end up with green ic. hindraf/hrp is trying to fight against this. you can try them or also MIC’s mydaftar program.
in your case its difficult since the nationality of the mother is not stated. how about the father’s nationality?
No father stated on the BC since she is an orphan. Since now she is married to a Malaysian with a blue IC, is there anyway for her to apply for red or blue IC? What is the process? Pls do advice.. Thanks
its more difficult if no father info. in jpn eyes, she may as well be a foreigner since got not proof that she’s malaysian. how other records like doctor report etc?
i suggest you talk to DHRRA Malaysia as they have the experience in handling many case. the link is at the sidebar of this website.
Vanakam Sir.
One of my known family had apply for birth cert. for her daughter age about 40++. She is a dumb n deaf person. They have submitted all the related documents to JPN Putrajaya (almost 1 year). She also went for medical checkup to verify the dumb n deaf problem. The family went for interview to Putrajaya 2times.
Mother of the person have blue ic n nationality of Malaysia.
But until now no reply. Pls do advice….Thank you.
