Stunned Indonesian has IC confiscated at RCI


An Indonesian who carried a Malaysian blue identity card was shocked today when he was informed by the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah that it was forged.

NONEIshak Us'luan, 46, who was born in Timor, Indonesia and arrived in Sabah in 1983, was lost for words when conducting officer Jamil Aripin (left) informed him of this while he was testifying before the RCI at the Kota Kinabalu Court Complex.

"We have checked your identity card and it is not in the record. It is forged, you were cheated," said Jamil as Ishak remained silent.

After Ishak was released from the witness stand, Jamil asked the RCI if the forged identity card should be confiscated, to which former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Steve Shim who leads the commission, said that it was up to the conducting officers and relevant authorities to decide.

At this juncture, Jamil decided to confiscate the identity card and advised a stunned Ishak to seek help from the Indonesian consulate to make an Indonesian passport as he now has no travel documents.

"I will tell the investigating officer to take you straight to the Indonesian consulate here.

"My advice is for you to ask help from the consulate to make a passport," he said.
MyKad served him for 5 years
Ishak, who now has a wife and three children, all of whom who rely on Indonesian passports, said he had worked at a plank company in Tawau for when he first arrived illegally in 1983.

He later moved to Kunak doing various jobs including working in plantations and in 1984 met a Bugis man from Semporna who offered him and 17 others a blue identity cards for RM40 each.

"We did not know anything about it, but he came to offer us, so we just took it," he said.

However, Ishak said he later lost the blue identity card and attempted to obtain a new upgraded one from the National Registration Department (NRD) in Tawau and Lahad Datu but to no avail.

"I tried what I could, but I could not get a new one. And then, another man said he could get a MyKad for me for RM500, so I paid him and he made one for me," he said.

Ishak said he had used the Mykad, which turned out to be forged, for the last five years without any trouble from the authorities - until today.
