Abdah being taken to court on July 18. – BERNAMApic KUANTAN: A senior citizen has been fined RM6,000 by a Magistrate's Court here for knowingly submitting false information in an application for an identity card, or MyKad. Magistrate Tengku Eliana Tuan Kamaruzaman imposed the fine on Abdah Said, 65, after he pleaded guilty to the charge on Friday (July 18). He paid the fine. Abdah was charged with providing false information when applying for an identity card for a 12-year-old girl by using a birth certificate issued in the name of another child at a counter of the Pahang National Registration Department (NRD) here at 9.49am on Sept 28, 2012. The offence, under Regulation 25(1)(b) of the National Registration Regulations 1990 (Amendment 2007), provides for a maximum jail term of three years or a fine not exceeding RM20,000, or both, if convicted. In mitigation, the unrepresented accused pleaded for leniency as he was unemployed. NRD prosecuting officer Mohammad Yusaini Yunan requested a stern and proportionate punishment, stressing the gravity of the offence, as the accused had used his own daughter's documents for personal gain. He said the punishment should serve as a reminder to the accused and to the public not to hand over documents belonging to Malaysians to foreigners, enabling them to enjoy privileges meant for citizens. – Bernama
