68 people investigated by police after a false complaint of a lost MyKad.

Malaysia – Starting from January until the month of November of this year, a total of 68 people were being investigated over filing fraudulent police reports about the theft of their identity card or MyKad just so they could avoid being punished by the National Registration Department through fine.

In the case where an individual lose his or her MyKad for the first time, they will be fined RM100, and then RM300 for the next offense, and then finally RM1,000 for their third offense.

All of the people involved, which are within the age of 18 to 60, have filed fake reports at the Sentul District Police Headquarters (IPD) claiming that they are actually victims of robbery and snatch theft, as stated by ACP Beh Eng Lai, who is the Sentul district police head.

According to him, later investigations revealed that the majority of the cases being claimed by these people were actually all made up, and that their identity cards or their MyKads were lost due to their own irresponsibility and negligence.
