A Malaysian woman was ordered to pay a B$4,000 fine, or serve four months in jail in default of payment, by the magistrate's court after pleading guilty to giving the wrong passport prior to departing from Brunei.

Forty-two-year-old Rosalind Jok, hails from Miri and entered through the Sungai Tujoh Control Post to send her husband to Kuala Belait for work offshore on August 15.

In a vehicle with other family members, they arrived at the departure clearance of Sungai Tujoh Control Post at 12pm that day after sending her husband.

At the control post the defendant's nephew, who was driving the vehicle, presented all passports to the immigration officer on duty.

The Immigration officer on duty found that the defendant differed in identity from all the passports presented.

The defendant insisted that she was her niece, whose passport she used that day.

The officer detained the defendant and found out that the defendant had succeeded in entering Brunei using her niece's passport and attempted to exit using it again.

Magistrate Azrimah Abdul Rahman presided in the case.
