“The PTI category has no documents at all and they will not be registered in the digital data collection programme,” Dennis said.
According to Dennis, the explanation from the first town hall session clearly stated that digital data collection only involved three categories of foreigners registered as holders of IMM13, burung-burung card and census card.
Dennis stressed that digital data on the three categories of foreigners will not change their status from foreigners to citizens.
“They will remain as foreigners after the data collection,” said Dennis.
