Malaysians who lend MyKad to foreigners face up to three years’ jail, says Home Ministry

Malaysians who misuse their MyKad by renting them to foreigners can face up to three years in prison, a fine of RM20,000, or both.

The National Registration Department conducted 4,174 operations from 2022 to September 2023, leading to 1,868 arrests for identity misuse.

During this period, 577 cases were prosecuted, involving fake MyKad usage and renting out MyKad to foreign nationals.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — Individuals who misuse their identity cards (MyKad) by ‘renting out’ or handing them over to foreign nationals could face up to three years in prison, a fine of up to RM20,000, or both, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said.

He said the National Registration Regulations 1990 provide strict legal measures to curb foreign nationals’ misuse of national identity.

“The government takes this matter seriously, with enforcement aimed not only at penalising offenders but also at preventing identity misuse and identifying such cases at an early stage,” he said during a question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.

He was replying to a supplementary question from Mohamad Shafizan Kepli (GPS-Batang Lupar) about reports of some Malaysians renting out their MyKad to foreign nationals for only RM100 to work in factories.

Mohamad Shafizan had earlier highlighted the detention of 36 foreign factory workers in Pasir Gudang during Ops Jejak 1.0 yesterday for allegedly using fake MyKad or those belonging to other people to gain employment.

Shamsul Anuar said the operation underscored the importance of joint enforcement efforts by the National Registration Department (NRD), the Immigration Department and Labour Department.

“The operation also focused on the possible involvement of original identity card holders suspected of renting out or handing over their documents to foreign nationals for employment purposes,” he said.

On enforcement efforts, he said the NRD had carried out 4,174 operations nationwide from 2022 to September this year, resulting in 1,868 arrests.

He said 577 cases were prosecuted under Regulation 25(1)(e) of the National Registration Regulations 1990 during the same period, comprising 449 cases involving the use of fake MyKad and 128 involving the use of others’ identity cards. — Bernama

马来西亚人如果将身份证（MyKad）出租给外国人，最高可判处三年监禁、20000令吉罚款，或两者并罚。

从 2022 年到 2023 年 9 月，国民登记局开展了 4,174 次行动，导致 1,868 人因身份盗用而被捕。

在此期间，共对 577 起案件提起诉讼，涉及使用伪造的马来西亚身份证 (MyKad) 和向外国公民出租马来西亚身份证 (MyKad)。

吉隆坡，10月21日讯——马来西亚内政部副部长拿督斯里沙姆斯·安努尔·纳萨拉博士表示，个人如将身份证（MyKad）“出租”或交给外国公民，最高可判处三年监禁、2万令吉罚款，或两者并罚。

他表示，1990 年《国民登记条例》提供了严格的法律措施，以遏制外国公民滥用国民身份的行为。

“政府非常重视此事，执法目标不仅是惩罚违法者，还要防止身份滥用，并及早发现此类案件，”他今天在国会下议院的问答环节中说道。

他是在回答 Mohamad Shafizan Kepli（GPS-Batang Lupar）提出的补充问题，该问题涉及一些马来西亚人以 100 令吉的价格将他们的 MyKad 出租给外国公民在工厂工作。

莫哈末沙菲赞此前曾强调，昨天在“Ops Jejak 1.0”行动中，巴西古当有36名外籍工厂工人被拘留，他们涉嫌使用伪造的马来西亚身份证或他人的身份证来获取工作。

沙姆苏尔·阿努尔表示，此次行动凸显了国民登记局、移民局和劳工局联合执法工作的重要性。

“此次行动的重点还在于调查可能存在的持原身份证者将证件出租或交给外国公民用于就业目的的情况，”他说。

关于执法工作，他表示，国民登记局从2022年到今年9月在全国范围内开展了4174次行动，逮捕了1868人。

他表示，同期根据1990年《国民登记条例》第25(1)(e)条规定，共提起577起诉讼，其中449起涉及使用伪造的马来西亚身份证（MyKad），128起涉及使用他人身份证。——马新社
