The government Tuesday announced the withdrawal of all lucky draws including for the grand prize of a Perodua Myvi car for MyKad applicants.
Describing the move to reward the public for applying for MyKads as “a silly thing to do”, Home Minister Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad said all the prizes including the car would be donated to orphanages.
“Have to reward them to change to MyKad, have to hold lucky draws, only then the public will come. That’s rubbish,” he told reporters after his ministry’s monthly assembly at the Immigration Department headquarters here.
