Following revelation<\/a> by Toyo that up to 40000 Indians are without birth certificates<\/a> (no thanks to the inefficiencies of the sole party that claims to represent the indians), SV admits that birth cert registrations are under state departments and he can’t do much. If that is the case, what have all those state executive councillors BEEN DOING for the last 50 years? Yet another admission by the leader himself of the party’s failure? after 50 years, now only want to talk to the respective Menteri Besars? <\/p>\n Nowaday, MIC is beginning to shoot itself in the foot much too often.<\/p>\n Samy Vellu to meet MBs on birth cert issue<\/p>\n source<\/a><\/p>\n PUTRAJAYA: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu will meet all Mentris Besar to seek their help in getting birth certificates for Indian children in their respective states. He said that since state registration departments handled the registration of births, it was better for the issue to be addressed at state level.<\/p>\n Commending Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo for addressing the issue, Samy Vellu said that other MBs should follow suit. “These are matters we leave to the state executive councillors and state assemblymen to solve. If I tell the state registrar to issue the birth certificates, he will not do it. But if the state MB does, then he (registrar) will do it,” he told reporters after launching the Training For Malaysians At Infosys Global Education Centre 2008\/2009 programme here yesterday.<\/p>\n Samy Vellu said estates workers who now lived on the fringes of the city did not have the time to apply for their children’s birth certificates as they were busy trying to make ends meet. Without birth certificates, these children were deemed non-citizens and could not get a formal education, register for programmes or find jobs, he said.<\/p>\n MIC prefers states to tackle ‘no birth certs’ issue<\/u><\/p>\n
