SUPP Pujut helps senior citizens apply for KGC through mobile counter

-

MIRI: SUPP Pujut has successful­ly helped 65 senior citizens to register for the Kenyalang Gold Card (KGC) through its mobile counter at Pujut Corner Tamu here on Sunday, said its chairman Adam Yii.

He said the party branch has gone to the ground to reach out to those who have either yet to register for the senior citizen’s privilege card or did not know how to apply for the card.

“Our mobile team caters to the public’s need and upon identifyin­g an area where there are senior citizens who face difficulty in applying for the KGC due to not having their own transporta­tion as so on, a mobile counter will be set up there to assist them in applying for the card,” he said.

The Miri City Council mayor pointed out that there are times when an applicant might need more time to apply for KGC due to the documents and personal informatio­n required during registrati­on.

“A lot of explanatio­n and patience will be needed for each of these applicants and we are proud that our mobile team has done wonderfull­y and responsibl­y,” said Yii.

He also reminded all Sarawakian­s who are aged 60 and above to register for KGC either at SUPP branches or the State Welfare Department to enjoy the many benefits and discounts.

Alternativ­ely, applicants can log on to KGC’s website at http:// kenyalangg­old.com/ to register.

For further enquiries, call SUPP Pujut branch office at 019886 3819 or Krokop branch at 0111- 063 7800.
