Malaysia’s National Registration Department (NRD) has cautioned employers about a growing trend of fraudulent employment practices. Individuals are reportedly using digitally altered images of their MyKad (national identity card) displayed on mobile phones to deceive employers during the hiring process. The NRD advises against solely relying on these phone-displayed images for verification purposes. This tactic allows individuals to potentially misrepresent their identity and secure jobs under false pretenses. Authorities have not specified the extent of the problem, but emphasize the need for robust identity verification procedures. Employers are encouraged to utilize more secure methods to confirm the authenticity of potential employees’ identification. The warning aims to prevent fraudulent activity and ensure accurate employment records.
