A 43-year-old Filipino was sentenced to 16 months jail in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, for using a forged document as his identification papers.
The charge, under Section 471 of the Penal Code, is punishable under Section 465 of the same Code after Samei Jul @ Adzmi Abdul pleaded guilty before Magistrate Stephanie Sherron Abbie to using a forged document.
Malaysia’s Immigration Department Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Mohamad Arif Aizuddin Masrom informed the court that Samei was among five people suspected to be foreigners arrested at a roadblock.

Samei also included a copy of a payment receipt to the Director of Immigration dated May 18, 2015 as a supporting document for the fake instruction letter.
