Ikhlas now stalks foreign traders with 'fake Mykad'
An advocacy group for petty traders has lodged a police report claiming that many foreign traders in Malaysia own a Mykad, said to have been purchased from international cloning syndicates at RM18,000 to RM50,000.
An advocacy group for petty traders has lodged a police report claiming that many foreign traders in Malaysia own a Mykad, said to have been purchased from international cloning syndicates at RM18,000 to RM50,000.
Mohd Ridzuan Abdullah, president of the Small and Medium Business Enterprise Alliance (Ikhlas), cautioned that the situation could jeopardise national security.
Speaking to reporters after lodging the report at the Jalan Travers station in Kuala Lumpur today, he pointed to the number of foreigners operating as pasar malam vendors to back his claim.
He also alleged that a syndicate had used a citizen’s name to forge a Mykad three times.
Ikhlas - which first came to public notice by mounting the
‘burger protest’
in front of Ambiga Sreenevasan’s house in May - had in June demanded the premier’s attention to the growing number of
foreign traders
in the Klang Valley.
Asked about the possibility of foreigners using their fake Mykad to register as voters, Mohd Ridzuan initially declined to comment.
However, when pressed for a response, he urged the public to make a citizen’s arrest if they come across suspicious voters on polling day, suggesting that the foreigners could be tested on their command of Bahasa Malaysia.
