TAWAU: An illegal immigrant, believed to be an Indonesian, was detained for using a MyKad belonging to another person to enter the district on Friday.
The 27-year-old man had shown a card with numbers 921116-12-6999 under the name of Damsah Adam Malik of Kampung Simunul, Semporna.
Sabah Region Marine Police Force (PPM) commander said the man was checked when a PPM team stopped a boat in the Sabindo Sea at 3pm.
“A passenger had shown a MyKad belonging to someone else during preliminary inspection. The man, who was from Celebes, revealed his actual name and admitted that the card was not his,” he said in a statement here on Sunday.
He said the man was arrested and would be investigated under the National Registration Regulations 1990.
