TULUNGAGUNG - The Population and Civil Registry Office of Tulungagung Regency, East Java, deleted the dual population data of Yatno or Mohtar bin Bakri (66), a male Singaporean citizen who worked as a lecturer at two Tulungagung campuses.

"To be more precise, we have submitted the deletion of population data on behalf of Yatno or MB to the center (Ministry of Home Affairs), because indeed the authority to delete the population database lies with the center. We are only proposing or proposing," said Head of Dispendukcapil for Tulungagung Regency Nina Hartiani quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 22.

As for the population documents which are in physical form, all of them have been withdrawn by the Population and Civil Registry Office, continued Nina.

The reason is that Yatno, who later changed his name to Mohtar bin Bakri, had a resident identity as an Indonesian citizen.

The KTP and birth certificate which turned out to be falsified by posing as an Indonesian citizen born in Pacitan, East Java on February 9, 1973, were withdrawn by the Population and Civil Registry Office.

According to Nina, the issuance of Yatno's residence document, which later changed its name to Mohtar bin Bakri, was carried out based on the information submitted by the person concerned when processing his KTP and birth certificate at the Tulungagung Dispendukcapil office at that time.

Verification and verbal confirmation at that time had already been carried out, but because Yatno manipulated personal information in the presence of officers, the documents submitted by the applicant could be issued.

This was because the files and administrative requirements for managing population data at that time had been fulfilled.

Moreover, Yatno's data was strengthened based on the decision of the Tulungagung District Court

"The birth certificate notes that Yatno was born in Pacitan on February 9, 1973," said Nina.

On December 12, 2022, the birth certificate was changed based on the decision of the Tulungagung District Court number 125/PDT.P/2019/PN.TLG.

"The Dispendukcapil on the birth certificate noted that Yatno was born in Pacitan on February 9, 1973," he said.

In the old deed, Yatno is listed as the child of Kastomo and Misirah. Then the person concerned made a change to the name Mohtar Bin Basri, which is the 6th child of the couple Bakri Bin Posmito and Rahmah Bete Omar.

"Born in Kampong Pacitan Off Changi Rd S'pore (Singapore) December 25, 1956," continued Nina.

Confirmed separately, the Head of Tunggulsari Village, Kedungwaru District, Didik Girnoto Yekti, confirmed that there was a foreigner named Yatno als Mohtar Bin Basri. "But everyday we live in the Ngunut sub-district," said Didik.

On the identity card, Yatno's address is Perum Purimas Block F number 25, Tunggulsari Village, Kedungwaru District.

From the information obtained, the person concerned has been registered since 2008 at the time of the mass issuance of family cards (KK). At that time Yatno was registered with Sukijat's Family Card no.: 3504033103053358 as another family.

Yatno was secured by the Blitar Immigration team during a consultation. Yatno or Mohtar bin Bakri has two passports, from Indonesia and Singapore. He was examined and found to have dual citizenship.

Currently, Yatno is being held at the detention house at the Blitar Immigration Office and will soon be deported back to his home country, Singapore.
