Singaporean had false Thai ID, say police

Police have arrested a Singaporean for illegally obtaining a Thai identification card via a remote district office of Uttaradit province.

The card has identified the Singaporean as a Thai who is in fact already dead. 
Zhang Yao Zhong, 50, is one of 16 alleged suspects Thai authorities have been trying to hunt down for their role in the illegitimate issuance of Thai identification cards. 
The suspects include an assistant district officer.   
“We are investigating the case further,” Ban Khok Police Station superintendent Colonel Pramuan Yimjan said Tuesday. 
The Singaporean told police he had paid Bt200,000 for the card and received it in 2013.
