Monday, 9 July (The Star) -- MALAYSIANS will not be charged for changing their MyKad address if the change was required due to the renaming of roads by local governments, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.
The daily quoted Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Tan Chai Ho as saying that the public could go to National Registration Department to make the change about two weeks after the local authorities had confirmed and recorded the new road name.
“They do not need to pay any fee,” Tan said when asked to comment on the recent move by Kuala Lumpur City Council to change the name of five roads in the city.
Normally, RM2 is charged for changing the content of the MyKad chip, and RM10 for changing the MyKad.
> China Press reported that the Malaysian Buddhist Association (MBA) would boycott a shopping mall in Penang if the mall’s authority did not apologise over an incident where a security guard confined three nuns after they were accused of soliciting for donations.
MBA vice-secretary Lim Tien Phong said he was very disappointed at the treatment received by the three nuns, one of whom was MBA committee member Ven Hong Sye Hiang, who were there to buy books last Wednesday.
“The guard should not have treated the nuns rudely, especially since they had presented their Sangha (Buddhist group) identity card issued by the MBA.
“If the guard thought they were impersonating nuns to seek donations in the mall, he should have referred them to the police instead of confining them in a security room.” |
