Twitter user DragonForce Malaysia (@dragonforceIO_) revealed that the alleged leaked MyKad data could be fake.
After somehow unscrambling the pixelated images, the names on the MyKad read Devil bin Satan, Mohd Daniyal Hanger, and Dato Husin. The pictures were clearly mismatched to the names too, further indicating signs of fraud.
Even the poor dude Chua Lai Fatt’s alleged MyKad made an appearance. If you don’t remember, Chua is a real person who became famous during the 13th general election. He is an Indian Malaysian who was adopted by a Chinese Malaysian family.
However, there’s no guarantee that the “unveiling” is real either seeing that the fonts look strange and wonky.

He had asked the National Registration Department (JPN) and the Information Technology Security division to investigate the matter.
So, where does that leave us? It’s best to wait for the National Cyber Security Agency (Nacsa) to complete its investigation and always monitor your bank accounts, leak or no leak.
