Indonesian man arrested for fake immigration stamps at KLIA 1
The suspect was apprehended yesterday afternoon during routine immigration checks at the departure hall.
Initial investigations showed the man entered Malaysia through Pasir Gudang, Johor, on July 18, 2022.
He was recorded as departing via KLIA on August 13, 2022.
However, discrepancies emerged when authorities discovered multiple entry and exit stamps under his name from 2022 to 2025.
'Several entry and exit security stamps bearing his name from 2022 to 2025 raised doubts,' MCBA stated.
Cross-referencing with the MyIMMs system confirmed no official records of his movements during that period.
The suspect later confessed to investigators that he had remained in Malaysia since 2022.
He paid RM4,000 for the fake stamps.
Authorities suspect the case may be linked to a 'flying' syndicate, a term used for fraudulent immigration stamping operations.
MCBA stated that further investigations will focus on identifying those involved in the scheme.
Legal action will be pursued for passport forgery and other immigration violations. – Bernama

Sisters nabbed in Lahad Datu after shopping spree with lost debit card
KOTA KINABALU: What three sisters thought was a "paid" shopping spree turned into a costly lesson when they were arrested for misusing a lost debit card in Lahad Datu. The three women reportedly came across the misplaced card and used it for purchases in several malls around town. Lahad Datu OCPD Asst Comm Dzulbaharin Ismail said on Tuesday (Aug 5) that the owner of the card lodged a report after discovering that the card was missing. The issuing bank then found several transactions made using payWave, and this led to the arrest of the three women, he added. ACP Dzulbaharin said the women are being investigated for unauthorised access to computer material under the Computer Crimes Act 1997. In an unrelated case, two people were detained for providing false information in a MyKad application at the National Registration Department (NRD) in Sandakan on Monday (Aug 4). According to the Sandakan NRD, the first arrest involved a woman suspected of giving false information as the guarantor in an application.

The court also ordered that his sentence take effect from the date of his arrest, July 22, 2023. The accused committed the offence beside a shop premises along Jalan Batu Kawa here on the said date, at about 9.01pm. According to the facts of the case, a police team stopped a black Perodua Alza travelling beside the shop and found that the driver, later identified as the accused, was transporting eight other individuals to an undisclosed location. Further investigation revealed that all the individuals were Indonesian nationals. A report from the Malaysian Immigration Department stated that two of the eight had no record of entering or exiting Malaysia, while the remaining six did. However, their travel records indicated that they had overstayed in the country. The two were later charged under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63, while the remaining six were charged under Section 15(1)(c) of the same Act. All of the migrants have since been sentenced accordingly. Therefore, the accused was found to have committed an offence under Section 26J of the Atipsom Act 2007.
