‘OKU card renewal not needed on a yearly basis’


There is no need for holders of OKU (Persons with disabilities) cards issued by the Social Welfare Department to renew their cards every year to enable them to obtain financial assistance on a monthly basis, says Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff.

She said the cardholders were only required to renew their cards if there were changes in the category and sub-category of disabilities as well as the contact information such as the address.
