Minister: Over 140,000 lost MyKad cases involve youths
One of the main factors cited for the loss of MyKad is negligence. PUTRAJAYA (May 19): Of the 285,568 cases of lost MyKad reported last year, 50 per cent or 142,535 of them involved youth aged between 15 and 30, said Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh. She said this figure is extremely worrying because MyKad is an important document that serves as access to various official matters. She said that one of the main factors cited for the loss of MyKad is negligence, which accounted for 136,000 cases, and expressed concern over the risk of identity theft and fraud as well as difficulty in settling official matters, particularly those involving the government. 'So, when these youths are negligent, this will become a risk, namely having to face the prospect of being fined for a replacement MyKad, the time taken to get the replacement as well as the emotional stress,' she told a media conference after chairing the Strategic Collaboration Coordination Meeting between the Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) and the National Registration Department (NRD) here today. Also present was NRD director-general Badrul Hisham Alias. Hannah added that Selangor had the highest number of cases of MyKad loss involving youth, with 23,000 cases, followed by Kuala Lumpur (20,000 cases) and Johor (17,000 cases). 'We don't know why these three states (recorded the highest number of cases)… it could be due to them having big urban areas. 'There are lots of commercial activities in urban areas, so the MyKad is frequently handed over, such as at security posts at housing areas and commercial buildings… so it is very likely that this is closely related,' she said. She said the meeting also studied in detail various intervention measures to be implemented through strategic collaboration between the KBS and NRD, including carrying out a digital advocacy campaign through the dissemination of graphic materials like posters and video clips on social media and official portals. She added that the intervention measures involved delivering information regarding NRD services to youths, particularly through programmes organised by the KBS as well as departments and agencies under it. 'We will also provide counters or booths related to NRD services when organising major ministry programmes, such as the National Youth Day, National Sports Day and so on,' she said. Hannah said the KBS and NRD also agreed to forge a collaboration to implement the 'Menyemai Kasih Rakyat' (MEKAR) programme to assist individuals who require NRD services, besides expanding the programme to include former national athletes. – Bernama Hannah Yeoh lost MyKad NRD youths

Hannah Proud Of Sepak Takraw Team's Performance Despite Final Loss To Thailand
PUTRAJAYA, May 19 (Bernama) -- Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh is proud of the national sepak takraw squad's performance in the recently concluded 2025 Asian Cup, adding that they have the potential to emerge victorious in the next edition. She said this was based on her own observations after watching the team regu final at the Titiwangsa Stadium in Kuala Lumpur last night, with Thailand emerging champions after defeating Malaysia 2-0. "I feel that this is a proud achievement. If we look at the performance, although they lost both games, the opening set was quite a closely-fought affair. bootstrap slideshow "So, I know that our players did their best. Not just the men's team, the women's squad as well,' she told a media conference after chairing the Strategic Collaboration Coordination Meeting between the ministry and the National Registration Department here today. Hannah also praised the efforts of the Sepaktakraw Association of Malaysia (PSM) in implementing various talent development programmes to unearth new faces. "I think that with more such exposure when we become host, we will be able to follow (the progress) of more players. I believe that one day we will win the Cup,' she said. In last night's final, Malaysia's first regu, comprising apit kiri (feeder) Amirul Zazwan Amir, tekong (server) Mohammad Syahir Mohd Rosdi and apit kanan (killer) Mohamad Azlan Alias, lost 11-15, 15-12, 15-17 in a thrilling encounter. The second regu of Farhan Adam, Muhammad Haziq Hairul Nizam and Muhammad Noraizat Mohd Nordin, meanwhile, won the first set 15-13 but lost the next two 13-15, 4-15 to the Thai trio of Sittipong Kamchan, Tanaphon Sapyen and Sirisak Anuloon. Asked if the ministry planned to build a stadium specifically for sepak takraw, Hannah said there are no such plans as the existing facilities at the Jalan Raja Muda Stadium (SJRM) in Kampung Baru were sufficient for the national team.

'This place is managed by PSM and, so far, they said it was suitable for their academy. They are happy at this location, which is near Titiwangsa Stadium,' she said. The media had previously reported that SJRM is fully managed by PSM as the Malaysian Sepak Takraw Academy Centre, thus becoming a development hub for the traditional sports a the grassroots and elite levels.
