Great news<\/a> indeed:<\/p>\n

\n

No words can describe M. Amara\u2019s joy when she was informed that her four grandchildren would be issued birth certificates by the National Regis\u00adtra\u00adtion Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is help from God. I am very glad that my grandchildren can finally live life like other people. They can now go to school, get driving licences and even get married,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her four grandsons \u2013 Maga\u00adderen, six, Deva, five, Santhos, three, and Yuvan Raj, two months \u2013 have never had birth certificates.<\/p>\n

They were all issued birth certificates by the NRD after a meeting at the department headquarters yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"\" Family joy: Krishnan, Kanmani carrying son Yuvan and their other three children (from left) Santhos, Deva and Magaderen holding up the birth certificates at the NRD in Putrajaya Tuesday.<\/span><\/div>\n

They are the children of Krish\u00adnan, 27, who is Amara\u2019s eldest son and N. Kanmani, 26.<\/p>\n

Krishnan and Kanmani, together with his other six siblings \u2013 Prema, 23, Suresh, 21, Rajakumar, 20, Selvamoorthy, 18, Visaletchumi, 17, and Thanaletchumi, 12 \u2013 also do not have birth certificates or MyKad.<\/p>\n

Amara\u2019s youngest daughter Thurgathevi, 11, also does not have a birth certificate.<\/p>\n

Umno Youth Community Com\u00adplaint Bureau chief Datuk Muhd Khairun Aseh, who has been helping the family, said the birth certificates were issued after the NRD had verified the children\u2019s status.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very thankful to the NRD for its swift action and cooperation in trying to solve the family\u2019s problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

NRD public relations officer Jainisah Mohd Noor explained that birth certificates and MyKads for Amara\u2019s children would only be issued after the department had vetted the documents they had provided.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation looks positive as they managed to provide us with documents from hospitals to show that they were born in Malaysia,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Amara, who has never ventured out of Malacca, and her affected family members were picked up by several MIC representatives at their home in Rem\u00adbia for the journey to Putra\u00adjaya.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy but at the same time worried as I have never travelled far from home. However, I must make this journey for my family\u2019s sake so that my children and grandsons will get their identification papers,\u201d she said when met at her home before leaving for Putrajaya in a van belonging to the state welfare department.<\/p>\n

The plight of the family was highlighted in The Star<\/em> last Thurs\u00adday. Following that, Umno and MIC Youth worked together to help the family out of their predicament.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
