Man claims being detained despite holding 'valid IC'

An Indian businessman who has voted thrice in elections and is in possession of what he claims to be a valid Identity Card has filed to the High Court for a Revision of his detention at the "Rumah Merah" meant for illegal immigrants in Menggatal.

According to Mohd Kani, he arrived in Malaysia (Sabah) from India in 1983 and worked as a restaurant helper in Papar. In 1993, together with some 100 other Indians and Pakistanis, he applied for a Malaysian IC through the district NRD office under the "IC Projek Pedalaman".

He said he obtained the IC through NRD Papar sometime in 1993/94, and which was issued by NRD KK. He also surrendered his Indian passport to the authorities.

Nevertheless, to satisfy himself that his IC was authentic, he wrote to the NRD for verification. He received a letter from NRD dated Nov. 4, 1994, informing him that the document was genuine. The letter bore the signature of then NRD Deputy Director Mohd Nasir Sungip.

Mohd Kani Majid, 43, was arrested on April 20 this year
