Homeless asked for permanent address (Malaysia)

To give it an occasional lighter touch, this blog reports some of the worst cases of red tape found on the web. This one is from Kuala Lumpur where volunteers working for several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and corporate companies to help the homeless in the city, say the current government bureaucracy in the healthcare, registration department and other agencies require a permanent address for the recipient before aid can be granted, even if he/she is homeless.
