Star: “How Can MyKads Issued by NRD be Fakes?”

KOTA KINABALU - “The federal government should admit that there is now a serious problem of identifying who is a genuine Malaysian and who is not because of the rampant unlawful issuance of MyKads to foreigners” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief in response to the arrest of 20 security guards with fake Mykads.

The abuses of the National Registration Department (NRD) facilities by certain political group to serve their political agenda has now reached national proportions that will eventually destroy this nation if left unresolved.

“I doubt whether these are really fake MyKads” questioned Dr. Jeffrey.

“How is it possible for the companies to recruit these people in the first place, if they didn’t have a genuine MyKad” he asked further.

“Or do they (MyKads) become fakes only if they do something wrong.  Whether or not they are fakes these are likely to be the product of the Project IC in Sabah”.

The government cannot and should not continue to deny the existence of the so-called “Project IC” or whatever name they are called and there are evidences that the issuance of dubious MyKads are this happening.

People are now wondering what is going to happen to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) which has recently concluded hearings for this purpose?

How ironic it is for us to establish ESCOM/ESSZONE to protect Sabah from external intrusion and invasion when the government also know that potential “intruders” are already running all over the Sabah previously and now all over Malaysia as “Malaysians” with MyKads given by the Malaysian government, hand delivered personally in many cases by Malaysian government officials and Umno leaders.

Judging from the population “explosion” and extraordinary increase in Sabah’s population from 1960 to 2010 compared to the rate of increase in the Peninsular and Sarawak, there could be as many as 1.5 million “Malaysians” with fake MyKads and part of the problem is now exported from Sabah to the Peninsula.   It is time for all genuine Malaysians to wake up to this problem and make the government responsible for their wrong-doings and resolve them.
