MALACCA: A syndicate here has been selling counterfeit MyKads to many foreigners, charging them between RM4,500 and RM10,000. A man claiming to have served in the National Registration Department (NRD) for 10 years has been offering citizenship papers and MyKads to illegal immigrants and foreigners who have overstayed. In recorded phone conversations, the man boasted that he had obtained genuine citizenship documents and MyKads illegally for many Indonesians and Cambodians while serving at NRD. Perbak president Muhammad Khairul Hafiz said he had heard of dozens of foreigners who bought citizenships for between RM5,000 and RM10,000. Muhammad Khairul later tracked down a few Indonesians who had tried to buy MyKads and citizenship papers from the syndicate.
