KOTA KINABALU: Six
Philippine nationals were caught trying to leave for Kuala Lumpur by using
MyKad belonging to other people on Christmas Day.
State Immigration Director
Datuk Mohammad bin Mentek said the three Filipinas and three Filipinos aged
between 16 and 35 were detained for committing the offence at Terminal 2 of the
Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) at 2pm.
"The suspects were
caught when they produced the identification documents at the Immigration
counter before boarding.
"Upon checking, the
Immigration Officer realised that the photos on the Mykad are different from
the suspects and arrested them on the spot," he said, when contacted,
Wednesday.
Mohammad said the suspects
were also found not possessing any passports.
Nonetheless, he said, they
have handed over the six suspects to City police here to be investigated under
Regulations of National Registration 1990.
Meanwhile, City Police Chief
ACP Jauteh Dikun, who confirmed the case, said all the suspects would be
investigated under Section 25(1)(o) of the Regulations of National Registration
1990 for using Malaysian identification documents belonging to others.
He said they have been
remanded for four days beginning Wednesday and all the MyKad have been seized
to facilitate investigations.
