Putrajaya NRD Identity Card Division director Md Solehan Omar said
the problems included information on name, address, date, place of
birth, fingerprint and pictures of applicants which did not match the
NRD records.
Responding to conducting officer Manoj Kurup on the issuance of problematic ICs, Md Solehan said the Sabah and Sarawak Special Committee on Identity Cards was formed in 2006 to resolve the issue of unsystematic issuance of ICs in the two states.
"This committee conducts checks and investigations on IC complaints received by the Sabah NRD before deciding if they are to be approved," he said during the eighth day of the proceedings, here, today.
Md Solehan, 58, explained that the committee would cancel the problematic IC and delete the applicant's name from its records.
However, Md Solehan, who is a member of the special committee, could not reveal the exact number of such problematic ICs which have been resolved, as the process had yet to be completed.
Questioned as to whether one IC number could be used by two or more persons in Sabah, the 51st witness said there should only be one IC number for one individual.
