"Police have launched an investigation to find out if there are syndicates involved in the production of forged identification documents in Sabah, as the offence promises lucrative returns considering the strong demand for fake immigration papers. In a related development, the assistant industrial development minister Jainab Datuk Hj Ahmad Ayid reminded local community leaders not to certify documents produced by foreign nationals or face legal action, which include the prospects of a longer jail term, heavier fines and dismissal from their posts.
A number of village elders have been found to certify documents by illegal immigrants seeking study scholarships, personal identification documents, local residents status and land purchases for money, she revealed. Community leaders must strive to live up to the responsibilities entrusted to them by the local people, to ensure that their rights don't get appropriated by foreigners. " [Snippet]
