Tumpat police refute claim that detainee lost MyKad while in custody
Tumpat police chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Khairi Shafie, said the individual, in a viral social media post, alleged he had been fined RM300 by the state National Registration Department after losing his identity card.
Mohd Khairi clarified that the police follow strict standard operating procedures (SOP) in handling detainees' personal belongings, including identity cards.
"All items belonging to detainees are properly recorded and securely stored in a designated room, either as case exhibits or personal effects," he said in a statement.
Checks revealed that the individual in question had five previous criminal records involving drug-related and other offences.
His most recent arrest was on July 2, 2025, where he was investigated under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for drug consumption.
"At the time of arrest, the individual was not in possession of a MyKad and only provided verbal identification to the police," Mohd Khairi said.
He added that the Tumpat police remain committed to safeguarding detainees' welfare and ensuring transparency in the discharge of their duties.
The public, he said, is advised against making baseless accusations or speculative remarks on social media that could erode trust in national security institutions.
For further enquiries, members of the public may contact the Public Affairs Unit of the Tumpat district police headquarters at 09-7257222.

Repeat offender stabbed policeman in Pudu while carrying drugs
KUALA LUMPUR: The man who stabbed a police corporal during a patrol in Pudu last week turned aggressive because he was carrying drugs, says Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay. The 56-year-old suspect, a local man, was found to have 14 prior criminal records involving drugs and violent offences. He is currently remanded for seven days until next Thursday, with the case being investigated under Section 307 and Section 186 of the Penal Code for attempted murder and obstructing a public servant, as well as Section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Speaking to reporters after visiting the injured officer at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia today, Ayob Khan said Corporal Mohd Nadzri Sudiman of the Pudu police station is in stable condition. "He suffered injuries to the small intestine, with the stab wound about three centimetres wide and seven centimetres deep. Fortunately, it did not hit any vital organs," he said. The officer is now under medical supervision, able to speak but still in pain due to surgery. "God willing, he is expected to recover within one to two weeks," Ayob Khan added. Also present during the visit were Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad, Bukit Aman Management (Administration) deputy director Datuk Azizee Ismail, Wangsa Maju police chief ACP Mohd Lazim Ismail and Cheras police chief ACP Aidil Bolhassan. Ayob Khan said police are constantly reviewing their standard operating procedures (SOP), including the need for body cameras among field personnel. At the time of the incident, Mohd Nadzri was not wearing a body camera, although he was on patrol with a colleague. "We have proposed that all personnel, especially those in the Motorcycle Patrol Unit and Mobile Patrol Vehicle Unit, be equipped with body cameras," he said. Under phase one, a total of 7,648 body cameras have been distributed nationwide. Another 10,000 units are expected to be delivered in the second phase. - Bernama
