PUTRAJAYA, June 7 — Police have referred a video regarding claims of an identity card issued to an alleged Myanmar national circulating on social media to the National Registration Department (NRD) for verification.
Putrajaya police chief ACP Aidi Sham Mohamed said the case stems from a report received on June 5 at 8.45am.
“Initial investigations found a viral Facebook video posted by the account ‘Na’am Ahmad’, which questioned how someone allegedly from Myanmar could possess a blue MyKad.
“However, the video was a re-upload by a third party. Further checks revealed that there were no identity documents or MyKad shown in the video to support the claim,” he said.
Aidi Sham advised the public not to share any unverified or false information related to the incident, as it could create confusion and tarnish the reputation of those involved.
“The public should also obtain information from official sources and report any relevant information to the police to assist with investigations,” he added. — Bernama
