Man fined RM6k for using daughter's birth cert for fake IC
KUANTAN: A senior citizen was fined RM6,000 by the magistrate's court here after pleading guilty to providing false information in a MyKad application for a child 13 years ago. Magistrate Tengku Eliana Tuan Kamaruzaman ordered Abdah Said, 65, to serve 10 months' imprisonment should he fail to pay the fine. Abdah was charged with supplying false information during an application for an identification document for a 12-year-old child, using a birth certificate belonging to another individual. The offence took place at the Pahang National Registration Department (NRD) branch at 9.49am on Sept 28, 2012. He was charged under Regulation 25(1)(b) of the National Registration Regulations 1990, which carries a maximum penalty of three years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM20,000, or both upon conviction. The prosecution was led by Pahang NRD prosecuting officer Mohammad Yusaini Yunan, assisted by Burhanuddin Hamzah. Abdah was unrepresented. In mitigation, Abdah pleaded for leniency, citing that he was unemployed. However, Yusaini urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence, stressing the gravity of the offence, as the accused had used his own daughter's documents for personal gain. "The punishment should serve as a reminder to the accused and to the public not to hand over documents belonging to Malaysian citizens to foreigners, enabling them to enjoy privileges meant for Malaysians," he said. Tengku Eliana imposed a fine of RM6,000, which Abdah subsequently paid.
