DOCUMENTATION TASKFORCE – 13 November 2016
A couple of months ago, we did the documentation for birth certs, ICs for 36 Orang Asli men, women and children of Kg Simpang Arang, Gelang Patah. Today, we took14 of them in 4 cars to the National Registration Dept( JPN) in Setia Tropika to collect the ready ICs.
As an NGO, Jewel works hand in hand with agencies like JAKOA, JPN, and JKM.
Jewel is delighted that about 50% of the documents applied for during the 20 Aug 2016 documentation exercise in Simpang Arang is ready for collection. We have another round to go.
Congratulations to Sheila Nair for the smooth coordination and Thanam, Nitiya, Liza & Sheila Nair for assisting in the logistics providing free transportation.
