Man to be deported after visa application uncovers fake driver's licence

Jodhbir Singh tried to argue the forged documents from overseas were genuine.

A migrant successfully obtained a New Zealand driver's licence using forged documents then pressured an overseas licence authority to verify it.

Jodhbir Singh worked as a forklift driver for a dairy company and the forgery was only discovered after he tried to use the licence to apply for a work visa.

An Immigration and Protection Tribunal in Auckland heard the secretary of a regional transport authority in India was "influenced to fabricate the online information" relating to the fake licence.

Following the discovery, Singh's application to stay in New Zealand on humanitarian grounds was denied.

In March, Singh attached an Indian driver's licence to a work visa application.

But when an immigration adviser told him his Indian driver's licence was being verified as part of the process, Singh withdrew the whole application.

The driver's licence verification went ahead anyway with Immigration New Zealand officers visiting the office of the regional transport authority in Amritsar, Punjab, where they were told the licence was a fake.

Virginia Shaw, of the Immigration and Protection Tribunal, said Immigration NZ issued a deportation notice in June based on the discovery.

"The appellant had used this forged licence to obtain his New Zealand driver's licence which brought his character into question."

But his lawyers appealed to Immigration NZ, denying his Indian licence was a forgery.

They argued his licence records had been given a new number in a digitisation exercise in India and that was why Immigration NZ had been unable to verify it.
Along with his lawyer's submissions, Singh enclosed a "letter of authentication" and a screenshot of his licence from the department's website.

But the secretary of a regional transport authority in India, Wassan Singh, told Immigration NZ in September the authentication letter was not genuine.
"He further confirmed that he had acted on the appellant's request and was influenced to fabricate the online licence information."

Shaw upheld Immigration New Zealand's deportation notice saying there were no exceptional humanitarian circumstances that would justify Singh staying.
Singh and his wife had a child who was born in New Zealand and their lawyers said the child would not have access to adequate education and healthcare services if they moved.

Shaw said Singh's wife and the child could stay in New Zealand - the wife has work rights in New Zealand until 2020 - or the whole family could move to India.
Singh's deportation would leave his wife with a "dilemma" but it was "a choice that she will have to make", Shaw said.

Great Insight Into Why Chinese Shit In Public
Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 24, 2010


Great article here, this person describes being in China and the fact that China’s ‘me first mentality’ causes many of their problems, the author uses examples of public urination and defecation to make their point. The article is insightful and well thought out.
excerpt:

“…Before we walked up the short mountain my parents and I had meandered through the park, watching groups of mostly old men play cards. As we had approached the steps up the mountain a man came out of the bushes and went back to his card game — he had been relieving himself in public. Apparently, the one-minute walk to the bathroom was too much for him.

Public urination and defecation in China is common among men across the entire age spectrum. A long time ago it became just a part of the scenery to me, with little astonishment attached to watching men relieve themselves anywhere they liked. I have what is — to me, at least — a classic photograph of a man taking a dump in front of the city walls of Pingyao, Shanxi Province. It’s a stark photo: a wall looming above a man squatting in the broad, bare expanse that extends in front of the wall for about twenty-five meters. There is no respect to be found in the photo — neither in the man shitting for all to see, nor in me for taking such a photo. I did not want it to be a photo of pretensions and I’ve always been happy that it lacks such things.

My parents, and especially my father, however, were shocked by having an otherwise excellent view of Yangshuo ruined by the odor and sight of shit at a mountaintop pavilion. In America, people are expected to pick up after their dogs, so the idea of a human not picking up after himself was fairly incomprehensible. My mother, though, said something that put this problem in an entirely different light: people piss and shit in public because they were never taught any better than satisfying an urge the instant that urge appears. Essentially, the moment they feel something, they do it.

So if you just drank a big bottle of water, you don’t hold it — you just unzip your pants, whip it out, and squirt. You just had a lunch? No worries, drop your pants and push. The idea of “holding it” until you find a public bathroom doesn’t appear because it has never appeared.

Every person who has traveled to or lived in China has invariably commented on many children’s crotchless pants, and on babies being held by their mother or father as they go to the bathroom right on the sidewalk. It’s all kind of cute, especially when you see tender baby photos being displayed in photographer shop windows in which the boy’s baby-maker is just hanging out there for all to see. As the boys and girls get older, some differences arise. You will almost never see women publicly urinating or defecating; the concept of “holding it” is generally adhered to, though it is slightly more flexible than what most women in the States might be used to. (I still have trouble understanding how groups of two and three schoolgirls are comfortable going together into a bathroom with only a single toilet, but having taught children for over four years now and seeing this happen repeatedly, I just take on faith that many girls are indeed comfortable with it.)

Many boys never get the “holding it” concept. The senior citizens fouling the Yangshuo Park are but one example, though this is something that I see practically every day anyways.

The lack of “holding it,” however, extends far beyond simply going to the bathroom whenever one wants to. The idea behind it is that one tries to satisfy one’s urges whenever one has them. There is no waiting for gratification, there is no planning for the future, and there is no one else valued just for their existence (though they might be valuable for what they can get you); there is nothing but me, my wants, and my moment right now.

If even the most basic of human physical urges are not restrained, how likely are things to be better higher up the urges food chain? Not likely, in my opinion. And if a human is simply a collection of his physical urges, then what on earth is moral about that? Moral behavior is based on aligning our actions against a standard of right and wrong, and that inevitably means we won’t be able to do things that we really, really want to do. Public urination and defecation might not ascend all the way to a full-blown philosophical crisis, but the seeds for such a crisis are nonetheless there.

This inability to see past your own person is something widely commented on by foreigners in China. It takes different forms: crowds that gather around accidents but do absolutely nothing to help the injured people; the prevalence of “mei you” (“don’t have;” see below) when asking for something from someone who knows perfectly well they have it or know where it is; corruption that is an in-your-face expression of selfishness; and confusing government bureaucracies which are essentially codified no-responsibility zones. All of these situations share a basic characteristic: only the very narrowly defined interests of a single person are considered.

We can go through examples of each to get a better idea of this. Yesterday (almost like manna from heaven for the purposes of this essay), there was a fire in the apartment block across the street from mine. I was walking back from buying vegetables at a nearby market and saw a gathering crowd and the unmistakable scent of ash. The fire engines hadn’t arrived yet, but I could predict what was going to happen: people would come running to stare, point, and laugh, but certainly not to help. I ran upstairs to get my camera to document it.

And it all happened as I had expected. People on foot, on bike, and even on motorized bicycle came galloping to the scene. A crowd many hundreds strong surrounded the apartment and chattered away about someone else’s misfortune. Children ran across the fire hose lines, laughing as they jumped across them. It had the air of a fair or a carnival — someone else’s misfortune was cause for their merriment.

If you go to Yangshuo there is a café on West Street called the “Mei You Café.” That says it all. “Mei you” means “don’t have” in Chinese, and is a common answer when someone just doesn’t want to waste the time answering your question. The fact that a café would bank on the prevalence of the phrase to draw in customers is an unflattering commentary on the unwillingness of many Chinese to help out their fellow humans.

When I used to manage a school in the Jinzhou area of Dalian, I was once called by the guy I paid to maintain our relations with the local government. He was at lunch with the Anti-Corruption Bureau and needed my okay to pay for their food. I, needless to say, agreed. The Bureau capitalized on its “moral position” by actually being the most corrupt group of folks around. In the curious inversion of right and wrong that is so common in China, they would investigate those folks who didn’t give them money.

Those who have run businesses in China will also be familiar with the runaround local governments give with their permits. Just to open a school you need to go at least to the Public Security Bureau, the Fire Bureau, the local police department, the local education department, the Decoration Bureau, the Billboard Sign Bureau, the Tax Bureau, and the Price-Setting Bureau; and all of these have multiple branches — neighborhood, city, and province. Responsibility for anything is thus dispersed to the point of being meaningless, while at the same time a single person withholding his signature/chop in the hopes of getting more money out of you can bring the licensing process to a complete standstill. The system is specifically built to provide a responsibility-free environment in which government bureaucrats can accrue maximum personal benefit for themselves.

And that, indeed, is the crux of matters — things are so fashioned in China that often narrow-minded selfishness is the most reasonable choice. In simple terms, the culture rewards immorality.

From birth to old-age, the lesson of base selfishness is reinforced again and again. Your physical needs should be taken care of as soon as possible. If you are at a train station, screw everyone else and jump the queue because you want your train ticket now. As a government bureaucrat, steal as much as money as you can as quickly as you can because you might not have another opportunity at the trough. If you see someone else in pain, stare, amuse yourself, but never ever do something to help because if you help someone then you become responsible for that person, and that is completely against your narrow self-interests.”

China is hardly a superpower. The only reason why their economy is large because there are so many idiot chinks willing to do anything for money.

The per capita income is only 17,000 per annum. It's a paltry sum which shows just how useless the chinks are. Productivity is so low they are ranked 80th in the world.
