The name of a Filipino in Sabah, who was reportedly jailed in 2010 for holding a fake MyKad, has been detected in the Johor electoral roll.
A pro-Pakatan Rakyat blogger, writing under the pseudonym ‘Milosuam’, said he had found a scanned news report by Sabah-based Daily Express dated Sept 21, 2010, in the news archives of the National Registration Department (NRD).
The report, said to have been published in both Daily Express and its Malay edition Harian Ekspres, is headlined ‘Fake MyKad: Filipino jailed’.
It states that the Kota Kinabalu Magistrate's Court had sentenced a 43-year-old Filipino to a year's jail for using a fake MyKad on Sept 20, 2010.
“Samsul Salleh, of Kg Likas here, pleaded guilty before Magistrate Cindy McJuce Balitus to using the document bearing the serial number 670110-12-5035 under his own name,” reads the report.
“Police arrested Samsul at 5.46pm on Sept 12 this year at Centre Point Sabah after checking the document.”
A search with the Election Commission’s (EC) online verification system using that MyKad number shows that a voter with the same name - Samsul Salleh - is eligible to vote in the state constituency of Permas, which is under Pasir Gudang parliamentary seat in Johor.
EC 'will check'
Both the Daily Express report and Samsul’s record were available online this morning when checked.
Asked to comment, EC deputy chairperson Wan Ahmad Wan Omar (right) said the commission “will certainly investigate it”.
This finding inevitably raises the question, again, of how a foreigner with a forged MyKad has managed to evade the scrutiny of both the NRD and the EC in getting himself registered as a voter.
The EC has always insisted that only eligible citizens whose personal details are recorded in the NRD database are able to register as voters.
In June, the authorities had busted a fake MyKad syndicate in Sabah and arrested 19 individuals including a NRD officer.

They run to another state so that they won't be detected.
ReplyDeleteFurther investigation shall reveal soon..
DeleteJangan biarkan warga asing dengan Mykad palsu ini mengundi.
DeleteKehadiran RCI sekarang ini akan dapat membantu menyiasat dalang dalam hal pemberian Mykad Projek ini.
DeleteHanya orang asli tempatan dan yang mendapat Mykad secara sah saja yang layak mengundi. Yang selebihnya perlu dihantar pulang Ke Negara mereka semula.
DeleteYou can run but you can't hide!
DeleteEC dan JPN harus bekerjasama untuk mengenal pasti mana2 individu dalam senarai pengundi berdaftar yang meragukan dikeluarkan dari senarai tersebut.
DeleteSemua mengharapkan agar isu Pati akan dapat di selesaikan dengan segera dan Sabah bersih dari pendatang asing.
DeleteThis is for and info..Same case:
ReplyDeleteThe Magistrate Court here yesterday fined a Filipino RM6,000, in default, six months jail for possessing a fake temporary identity card receipt. Hamson Mahani, 49, pleaded guilty before magistrate Norhamizah Shaiffuddin to a charge under Section 25 (1) (e) of the National Registration Regulations 1990 which carries a maximum jail term of three years or a fine of between RM3,000 and RM20,000.
Hamson was arrested during an operation carried out by the Immigration Department in Putatan town on May 12 this year.
Memang patut kena penjara tu PATI memiliki mykad
ReplyDeletekalau semua yang ada Mykad palsu dipenjarakan, saya rasa tu penjara tidak muat o..
DeleteThere are too many PATI in Malaysia especially in sabah. I can't help wondering whether the next GE can be held clean and fair.
DeleteSesiapa yang memiliki Mykad yang palsu patut didenda!
DeleteSesiapa yang memiliki Mykad palsu perlu di ambik tindakan tegas, penjara sahaja tidak cukup rasanya.

ReplyDeletethat's why RCI has been set up to investigate the issue..
DeleteRCI will have 6 months to investigate this illegal immigrant issue.
DeleteSoon the result will out, illegal immigrant issue won't be the problem anymore.
DeleteAda yang bersekongkol untuk beri kerakyatan kepada PATi ini.
DeleteAda segelintir orang yang mementingkan duit dan sanggup memberi kerakyatan kepada Pati ini.Itu yang patut di buang Negara.
DeleteEC will investigate it...

ReplyDeleteYang penting, RCI di tubuhkan..jangan pertikaikan lagi.
DeleteDatuk Seri Nazri Aziz told Parliament today that the Election Commission (EC) will implement most of the recommendations made by a select committee on electoral reforms in April, in the next general election.
ReplyDeleteOut of the 32 recommendations made by the parliamentary select committee (PSC), only six could not be implemented because of existing laws and the extra cost involved, the minister in the prime minister’s department said in response to a question from Tanjong MP Chow Kon Yeow.
ReplyDelete“As we know, the Dewan Rakyat passed ten recommendations in December last year and 22 more in April this year.
ReplyDelete“The EC has informed us that most of the recommendations have been or will be implemented.
ReplyDelete“From the 32, only six could not be implemented due to factors regarding laws and large costs,” Nazri said today.
However, Nazri said that this did not mean the EC would not implement the remaining recommendations in the future.
Among the recommendations that would be implemented in the 13th general election is the use of indelible ink, continuous review of the electoral roll, allowing postal voting for media personnel and the improvement of polling stations to ensure that votes remain secret.
