When he posted about his experience on Facebook in April 2019, he received feedback from others who said, “Me too.” The MOM said it will be screening current registered addresses to “surface the remaining false address declarations and clean this up”.After four years, Ruzaidie is still worried about his address being misused.

He has found that property agents are party to such transactions “quite often” and has written about the issue.
