| PUTRAJAYA: National Registration
Department (NRD) public relations officer Jainisah Mohd Noor said Abdul
Mutalib Taib was arrested after he tried to apply for his eldest child�s
identification card (IC) last month.
�When he made the application, we nabbed him on
suspicion that his IC was issued incorrectly.
�Upon further
investigations, we found that the man had committed various offences,
after which his case came under the Internal Security Act,� she said,
refusing to elaborate.
As such, Abdul Mutalib�s citizenship had to
be revoked.
�His Immigration permits were also found to be
suspicious and he was sent to the Immigration Department for further
action,� she said.
Immigration Department enforcement director
Datuk Ishak Mohamed said Abdul Mutalib was informed of his
offences.
�He was informed and he had said he will let his family
know of his situation. We are not obliged to tell his family anything,�
said Ishak.
He added that when Abdul Mutalib was served the notice
of deportation, he was also made to understand that he can appeal against
it.
�In the notice, it was stated that he can make the appeal
within seven days of the notice. We are waiting to see if he would submit
an appeal,� he said.
As for his family, Ishak said it all depends
on the appeal.
�The deportation notice was only for him, not his
family. Their status can still be discussed if they too file appeals to
the department,� he
said.
