GOPENG, Aug 7 — A founder of a pondok school has appealed to the authorities to release his adopted son from the Langkap Immigration Detention Centre after he was arrested for not having valid identification documents four years ago.
“Mohd Farid was detained in 2019 and I only found out about it when he contacted me from the detention centre in 2022. Mohamad Tarudi said Mohd Farid was registered as a student at Pondok Al-Jaafar, Gua Tempurung using his birth certificate, adding that he was not issued an identity card due to incomplete information involving his mother’s identity card.
“We went to the NRD in Putrajaya on June 14 with a statutory declaration of the mother’s identification number data to add to Mohd Farid’s birth certificate.
