KUALA LUMPUR: Each branch of the National Registration Department should have one Tamil-speaking officer to assist members of the Indian community.
Malaysian Indian Congress Youth social and welfare bureau chief T. Mohan said the inability to communicate with NRD officers was one of the problems many members of the community had when they applied for their documents.
“Many of these individuals are not educated and come from rural areas. They do not understand words like ’pesuruhjaya sumpah’ (commissioner of oaths) or saksi (witness).
