SABAH MYKAD SCANDAL

Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Deputy President and MP for Sepanggar Datuk Eric Majimbun's Press conference Saturday as reported HERE

KOTA KINABALU: The surname and address on his MyKad are the same as the ones belonging to Sepanggar member of parliament Datuk Eric Majimbun, but they are not related.

Neither do they know each other.
The MyKad carries the name Jerome Majimbon and the address is Kampung Pomotodon, Jalan Kionsom, Inanam.

In Sabah, people are regarded as having the same surname despite a slight variation in spelling.

Majimbun said: “I was surprised because we don’t have a relative with such a name and the people in Kampung Pomotodon are unaware of the existence of such a person in the village.”

He found out that the man in question was a Filipino illegal immigrant whose real name is Jerom Maguil.

Majimbun wants answers from the Home Ministry and the National Registration Department (NRD) on how the man had obtained the MyKad bearing the number 560930-12-5739.

“I have written to the secretary-general of the Home Ministry but I have yet to receive a reply,” he said today.
