RANAU: A 21-year-old Indonesian man was arrested in Kundasang here on Tuesday for allegedly working as a tourist guide while using a fake identity card and driving without a valid licence.
Police said the man was stopped during a traffic enforcement operation after his car was seen behaving suspiciously.
Checks revealed that the identity card he produced did not exist in the National Registration Department’s system, prompting his immediate arrest.
