Explanatory Note
The Crimes (Amendment) Ordinance 1981 and
the Registration of Persons (Amendment) Ordinance 1981
make provision for the penalties that may be imposed
for forging identity cards and associated documents
and for possessing such forgeries. Consequently,
regulations 2 and 4 of these regulations remove from
the principal regulations references to forgery which
are now obsolete.
