PUTRAJAYA: The Welfare Department will issue a special identity card for all stateless children under the care of its welfare homes. Currently, there are about 246 stateless children who are registered with the Welfare Department. “This special ID will help us keep track of them. So I encourage the children who have left our welfare institutions to register with us in order to get their special ID cards,” Rohani added. Echoing the same sentiment, his counterpart from the Former JKM Institutions Resident Association (J'Keb) Che Rozi Azrul Che Aziz, said the society should be more supportive towards stateless children.
