Village heads helping illegal immigrants to obtain MyKad in Sabah will be sacked and legal action will be taken against them.

Sabah Local Government and Housing Minister Hajiji Noor said Mykad was a special privilege meant for Malaysian citizens and illegal immigrants were not eligible to apply for it.

He said this to reporters yesterday when asked to comment on the claim by Sabah PKR deputy head Kong Hong Ming last week that there were efforts to register illegal immigrants in Kampung Kalabakan Tengah, Tawau to apply for MyKad as reported in the local media recently

Hajiji said the allegation would be investigated and if it were proven to be true, action would be taken against those involved
