‘Oh no, not IC issue again!’ as an old case circulates

Stale case: The MyKad photo of Pang Chee Pin that has been making its rounds on social media.

SEGAMAT: The image of an identity card of an Indian Malaysian with a Chinese name is making its rounds again to insinuate that “phantom voters” are popping up in the run up to the 15th General Election (GE15).

The MyKad photo of Pang Chee Pin was first used in GE13 for rumour mongering, say his adoptive family members, who are frustrated that social media users are again mindlessly circulating the image to claim that “foreigners” are given Malaysian identity cards to enable them to vote.
