Your recent payslips will verify that you indeed draw the salary that you claim in your resume.

If HR does not check and verify, people can (and will) attempt to cheat.

If you want to hire someone for 10K a month, would you believe the guy if he just say he is currently earning 9K with no proof?

It's your call. Just bear in mind they probably have several other candidates lining up for the job as well.

Better to show your actual and justify why you are worth more to their organisation than to play payslip cat-and-mouse.

Thats why you can justify and tell them that you believe you are worth more than that. By displaying such an ability to explain gives them the confidence that you are not a kacang puteh guy, and are able to justify what you are asking for.

e.g.
Q: Your current sal only 1.5K, why should we give u 2.5?
A: I have experience in ... and I have been doing ... I feel that my asking price of xxx is a market average, and very reasonable. With my skills I believe that I can be a useful addition to your organisation... ready to take challenge ...

Finally divert it away and showcase your strengths. It will definitely impress the interviewer more than ( dog ate my payslip ... followed by silence ... and the interviewer goes Um, ok... )
