PAS veep: Uncollected MyKad, MyKid sent to Sabah?

PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar has asked the National Registration Department (NRD) and the Home Ministry to explain an apparent directive to send uncollected MyKad and MyKid to Sabah.

“I am concerned that these identity cards, which should be destroyed, are being given to foreigners to allow them to vote,” the Pokok Sena MP told at a press conference today.

Mahfuz claimed that the directive was issued to all state NRD directors and districts in a letter dated Dec 14, 2012, stating that MyKad and MyKid that are not collected within 18 months should be sent to Keningau, Sabah.

Reading out the contents of the letter, Mahfuz said the documents are to be sent to Keningau to be updated and then returned to the NRD headquarters in Putrajaya. 

“I want to know how many of the Mykad and MyKid have not been claimed to date. The NRD has to (provide details of documents) which have been collected ...,” he said.
