What is frightening is that despite holding fake MyKad, these foreign militants were able to secure employment as security guards. This is not a new development as this very same problem was highlighted in the tragic shooting of bank officer Norazita Abu Talib in the Subang Jaya Ambank branch robbery in 2013.
