On September 19, a 55-year-old woman named Jamilah Akrim received a four-month jail sentence in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. The court found her guilty of possessing a fake MyKad during an identity card replacement process at the Sabah National Registration Department (NRD). The court ordered her to be transferred to the Immigration Department following her sentence.
Jamilah presented the fraudulent card while requesting a replacement, but NRD officials discovered it was not listed in their records. Furthermore, her thumbprints did not correspond to any entries in the system. She faced charges under Regulation 25(1)(e) of the National Registration Regulations 1990 (Amendment 2007), which can result in up to three years imprisonment, a fine of RM20,000, or both upon conviction.
