MIC prefers states to tackle 'no birth certs' issue

PUTRAJAYA: MIC will request the help of menteris besar and chief ministers to resolve the problem of Indian children without birth certificates.

Party chief Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said it would be better if the state governments handled the matter rather than the MIC itself.

"If the menteri besar comes and says, 'give this boy a birth certificate', the state will act immediately. So it's better if the state handles it," Samy Vellu, who is also works minister, said yesterday.
