Owner of MyKad found in Ukraine battlefield was studying there, says IGP

 

Several photos of a MyKad and Malaysian driving licence found on a battlefield in Ukraine went viral recently.

PETALING JAYA: 

The owner of the MyKad and Malaysian driving licence allegedly found on a battlefield in Ukraine was furthering his studies there, says Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.

Razarudin said he was informed of this following discussions with the student’s family.

“Police are taking further action based on this information,” Berita Harian quoted him as saying.

Razarudin also said Bukit Aman is waiting for the Russian embassy to respond to allegations that Malaysians have been caught up in the conflict between the two nations.

“We are waiting for them to confirm these allegations and the status of the Malaysians (in Ukraine),” he said.

“We urge the public not to speculate or link (the Malaysians) with ‘foreign fighters’.”

Several photos, depicting a MyKad and Malaysian driving licence found on a battlefield, went viral recently.

The documents were reportedly found after Russian forces took a Ukrainian position in Levadne, Zaporizhzhia.

The driving licence apparently belongs to someone with an address in Padang Besar, Perlis, and is valid until next February. - FMT
