Orang Asli upset with BR1M rejection...

A member of the Temuan Orang Asli tribe is vexed that his BR1M application has been rejected despite his not having an income.

Dewi Malam, 52, who hails from Kampung Orang Asli Pulau Kempas in Hulu Langat, Selangor, said the received a reply from the Finance Ministry on Feb 16 that he was not qualified.

"I have not had a regular income in the last seven years. If the government doesn't give the money, it's fine, but don't deprive the people who really need it," Dewi said.

He said in an interview with malaysiakini.tv that he suffered disabilities in his left arm and has had trouble finding a job.

Among the reasons cited in the reply was that Dewi’s pay was not under RM3,000, on top of him not being in the National Registration Department’s (JPN) database.

He later produced his identity card to prove his citizenship.
 

'JPN is saying I'm not a Malaysian'

"What JPN is saying... means I am not Malaysian and I am not a voter in my own country.

"After the country has achieved development, they want to get rid of people such as myself," said the father of four who does odd jobs to support his family.

Dewi's children are aged 16, 17, 25 and 27 years and one of them suffers from a congenital heart condition.

The two eldest children are working, one as a cleaner and the other as a security guard while the other two are of schooling age, but Dewi cannot afford to pay for their education.

The BR1M is a one-off payment of RM500 from the government to households with an income of less than RM3,000 a month.

Last month, it was reported that Bera MCA division chairperson Tang Hock Lok, who holds a datukship, raised eyebrows when he obtained RM500 aid from the government.

However, Tang has denied any element of fraud and said his intention of applying was to donate the money to charity.- malaysiakini

Permohonan BR1M Dewi Malam ditolak kerana kononnya dia berpendapatan RM3000 lebih dan statusnya bukan warganegara...

Temuan Dewi bin Malam,52 dari Pulau Kampar,Mukim Tanjung 12,Hulu Langat adalah seorang duda mempunyai 4 orang anak berumur 16,17,25 dan 27 tahun. Dua orang daripada anak bekerja sebagai tukang cuci dan pegawai keselamatan sedangkan dua orang yang bongsu sepatutnya bersekolah tapi mereka tak bersekolah. Dia tak mampu menghantar mereka untuk bersekolah. Salah seorang juga mengalami masalah jantung.

Sebagai seorang warganegara yang tak mempunyai apa2,bekerja sambilan di kampungnya. Dia telah mohon bantuan di bawah Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia. Tetapi permohonannya telah ditolak. 

Alasan yang diberikan oleh Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia adalah sebagai seorang yang berpendapatan RM3000 sebulan dan namanya tidak ada dalam database Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara. Dalam erti kata lain saya ini bukan warganegara Malaysia,tegasnya lagi.

Dewi bin Malam telah mengeluarkan kad pengenalannya untuk membuktikan bahawa dia adalah warganegara Malaysia yang sah bukan celup. 

Bulan lalu dilaporkan bahawa Pengerusi MCA Bera, Datuk Tang Hock Lok telah memperolehi bantuan BR1M sebanyak RM500 daripada kerajaan.


Dewi naik begang dengan peristewa itu. Dia hairan bagaimana Kementerian Kewangan boleh menyimpan rekod dalam databasenya, sedangkan dia tidak mempunyai pekerjaan tetap dan hidupnya bergantung kepada sumbangan kaum keluarganya? 

Dan macam pula JPN tidak mempunyai apa2 rekod tentang dirinya sedangkan dia mempunyai kad pengenalan Malaysia yang sah?-malaysiakini

Dengar temuramah Temuan Dewi bin Malam

Rakyat macam inilah yang dikatakan bumiputera dan patut mendapat bantuan tak kira hujan atau panas.. Najib minta maaf, minta maaf taik kucing, sedangkan geng penyamun UMNO merompak harta negara berbilion2,orang asal negara seperti Dewi Malam dibuat macam kaum pendatang!!!

cheers.
