The devastating flash floods have left hundreds of thousands of people without a home, forcing them to seek shelter and safety elsewhere. As the affected communities struggle to come to terms with the loss and destruction, a new challenge has emerged: the loss of crucial documents, including identification cards (ICs) and birth certificates.
Assalamualaikum dan Salam Malaysia Madani.

Sementara agensi-agensi KDN turun membantu mangsa-mangsa banjir ini, KDN melalui JPN juga akan menawarkan penggantian dokumen seperti sijil lahir dan kad pengenalan secara percuma kepada mangsa banjir yang kehilangan dokumen tersebut.
In a bid to ease the burden on flood victims, the Home Minister, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, has announced a vital initiative. The National Registration Department (NRD) will provide free replacement of these essential documents to those who have lost them in the floods. This move is a significant step towards helping affected individuals rebuild their lives and restore a sense of normalcy.
To ensure that the replacement process is efficient and accessible, NRD staff will set up dedicated counters and deploy mobile units to flood-affected areas. This proactive approach will enable flood victims to obtain the necessary documentation quickly, facilitating their post-flood arrangements and helping them to move forward.
The Home Minister's announcement is a testament to the government's commitment to supporting those in need. By providing free replacement of vital documents, the government is helping to alleviate the stress and uncertainty that often accompanies the loss of essential paperwork.
As the flood-affected communities begin the long journey of recovery, this initiative offers a glimmer of hope. It reminds them that they are not alone and that the government is working to provide the necessary support to help them rebuild and recover.
