MIRI, April 11 — The Home Ministry has been called on to be more humane in the case of Lawas cancer patient Lina Samuel, whose MyKad was seized by the National Registration Department last November for allegedly being an Indonesian.
“She needs help right now, not later. Because we never know how much time she has left,” Agnes said in a telephone interview. “She does not have a passport to travel via land because if by land, she will have to transit through Brunei. And she also cannot travel by air without her MyKad, unless the authorities allow her to use the photocopy of her MyKad. This means she cannot go anywhere for her cancer treatment.”
“All her children cannot find better jobs because they are stateless. They do not have a fixed income, so how are they going to help their mother with the expensive fee for her treatment later on?” Agnes questioned.
