| The name in the MyKad (770818-12-6721) Ardi Hamza indicates he is from Tawau, but a check at his address shows it does not exist and neither do the people living in the area know him. So is Ardi an Indonesian who somehow got a fake MyKad or a genuine one which is now deemed a fake as he has turned out to be a crook. |
‘What an irony that when the Government established Eastern Sabah Security Command and Eastern Sabah Security Zone to protect Sabah from external intrusion and invasion, the potential “intruders” are already running all over Sabah previously and now all over Malaysia as “Malaysians” with MyKads given by the government’ – Jeffrey Kitingan

KOTA KINABALU: The abuse of the National Registration Department (NRD) facilities by certain political groups to serve their political agenda has now reached national proportions that could eventually destroy the nation.
STAR Sabah Chief Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan said the issue if left unresolved, had far-reaching consequences.
The Bingkor Assemblyman opined that whether or not they are fakes these Mykads are likely to be the product of the Project IC in Sabah.
Commenting on the recent arrest of 20 security guards with fake Mykads, he said there is now a serious problem in identifying who is a genuine Malaysian and who is not, because of the rampant unlawful issuance of MyKads to foreigners.
He also questioned the claim that those Mykads are fake ones.
“How is it possible for the companies to recruit these people in the first place, if they didn’t have a genuine MyKad. Or, do they (MyKads) become fakes only if they do something wrong?” he asked.
“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 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?” he said.
Dr Jeffrey added that it was an irony that when the Government established Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM) and Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZONE) to protect Sabah from external intrusion and invasion the potential “intruders” were already running all over Sabah previously and now all over Malaysia as “Malaysians” with MyKads given by the Malaysian government.
He claimed that in many cases, these Mykads were hand delivered personally by Malaysian government officials and Umno leaders.
He further claimed that 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.
This was judging from the population “explosion” and the extraordinary increase in Sabah’s population from 1960 to 2010 compared to the rate of increase in the Peninsular and Sarawak,
“It is time for all genuine Malaysians to wake up to this problem and make the government responsible for their wrongdoings and resolve them,” he stressed.
