Clean up NRD, says Jeffrey
PKR Vice President, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan claimed his former fellow Internal Security Act (ISA) detainees revealed to him that at least a million Identity Cards were issued under the controversial Project IC.
"When I was under ISA detention, I met several detainees involved in the project, (as scapegoats) some of whom were National Registration Department and Immigration officers, that no less than one million ICs were issued to foreigners at that material time (1991).
"One can imagine what that figure is today!" he said, in a statement, Wednesday.
"It is a known fact that 'Project IC Mahathir' existed and it was reported to the Parliamentary Select Committee on Integrity by those personally involved in the issuing of Malaysian ICs that money was involved."
To this end, Jeffrey said the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) should clean up the NRD as it is a nesting ground for little Napoleons and corruption.
"NRD officers, including clerks and powerful officers, who can create citizenship by the trust given them in the certification of filled application forms and are well sought after by illegals.
"Many foreign IC holders paid lots of money for the documents." Meanwhile, he said NRD should continue to accept late registration of birth certificates by locals until the local problems have been resolved.
