"This latest twist (that I own a MyKad) is an addition to the multiple falsification of documents by some wrongdoers leading to the wrong issuance of copy of my title deeds which saw the exchange of hands of my properties," he said.According to him, he has never applied for the MyKad. "I don't read in English and Bahasa Malaysia, and I do not know how the MyKad was issued in my name with a different birth date from my passport," he said. According to him, he purchased all his properties in Sabah using his Taiwanese passport.

Normally, durign his stay in Sabah, he would either apply for a tourist visa or business visa. The last time he came to Sabah was in 2000 on a business visa. When his visa expired sometime in July the same year, the relevant authorities such as the Industrial Development Department and the Chief Minister's Department recommended to the Sabah Immigration to extend a one-year business visa to him in his capacity as an investor.After July 2000, he fell ill and never returned to Sabah until August 2009."But when I returned, I was shocked that my properties have changed hands to third parties by way of falsified documentations," he said. All original title deeds to these properties, he said, are still with him. In this respect, he questioned how was able to sell the properties without surrendering the original titles to the lawyer who prepared the Sale & Purchase Agreement (SPA).He said the allegation that he received RM800,000 for the sale of his house in Tanjung Aru and or other properties via the Power of Attorney given by him was baseless and wrongful. "I have never appointed anyone to sell my house or properties using Power of Attorney."The falsified documents such as Power of Attorney (PA) and Sale and Purchase agreements purportedly signed by me in front of certain lawyer was done at the time when I was ill and was not present in Sabah," he said. Lin said he never met the said lawyer who purportedly prepared the PA and SPA.He also said he has the medical and immigration reports from Taiwan authorities to prove that he never left Taiwan during the time when the properties purportedly change hands.
