KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 ― Datuk Seri
Najib Razak will reveal details of the Royal Commission of Inquiry
(RCI) into Sabah’s illegal immigrant problem next Saturday, finally
putting an end to nearly six months of uncertainty on the issue.
The prime minister confirmed today that the terms of reference for
the royal panel’s probe will be disclosed following his meeting with
Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders.
“I will announce on the 11th (of August),” he told reporters today when asked for a date.
“I have met with a few Sabah BN leaders and I will meet with them on the 11th,” he said.
The prime minister’s visit to the east Malaysian state may coincide
with Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s, who is scheduled to
be in Sabah the following day.
Najib had announced the highly-anticipated RCI on Sabah’s illegals
issue on June 1 but stopped short of revealing details of the panel’s
composition and terms of reference.
The issue has been bandied about in the media since February 10 when
Sabah BN leader Tan Sri Bernard Dompok’s first announced Cabinet’s
decision to form the RCI.
The unchecked influx of illegal immigrants in Sabah has been a
longstanding problem in the BN-ruled state, and frequently blamed for
the rise in social, economic and security problems suffered by the
locals here.
According to replies provided in Parliament last year, Sabah’s
populace numbered 651,304 in 1970 and grew to 929,299 a decade later.
But in the two decades following 1980, the state’s population rose
significantly by a staggering 1.5 million people, reaching 2,468,246 by
2000.
Media reports said that as of 2010, this number has grown further to
3.12 million, with foreigners making up a sizeable 27 per cent or
889,799 of the population.
Opposition leaders have long raged against the BN government for this
population explosion, alleging that illegals have been allowed into the
east Malaysian state, and given MyKads and voting rights to help the
ruling coalition cling to power.
The issue has also been among the key reasons behind the latest
departures of two senior BN lawmakers ― Tuaran MP Datuk Seri Wilfred
Mojilip Bumburing and Beaufort MP Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin.
Even in far-away, neutral New Zealand we are boiling mad, your BN Gov’t is outrageously crooked and dishonest, & for how many decades now! GOSH! Horrific plunder and robbery, skinning & fleecing the whole country. eg Taib in Sarawak, holding 3 supreme portfolios of Chief Minstr, Finance Minstr & Planning & Resources Minister, plundering for 31 yrs. Your PM pretends nothing’s there…..now he revenges on Rafizi for the NFC cows, even after 3 murders: Ross Boyert (Taib’s former US aide), Manser (native & rainforest activist) & Altantuyaa (Scorpene $$ claimant), & after BN lost over RM300billion in 55 yrs. Yr PM flies a new RM200m plane & Taib rides Rolls Royce. In NZ our PM flies 2nd Class; here Taito P Field, an MP was jailed for a few years for corruption (using Thai immigrants to paint his houses). How long would yr Dr MM, Najib, Taib all the BN/UMNO/PBB cronies, MACC, Police chiefs last in a democratic country like NZ, Aus, UK, US or Canada before going to jail? 1 mth? You elected yr Gov’t to serve you, how can you tolerate them for another day!
ReplyDeleteWe see too clearly from a neutral & democratic New Zealand. BN/UMNO will LOSE BIG. For those low lives & criminals, God' s nemesis will prevail. Look at Gaddafi , then Assad, when Syrians wanted fair & free elections, Assad said there were foreign terrorists wanting to topple the Gov't… now he kills them. Gaddafi and Assad weren't even democratically elected! Just like your PM - handed down from Daddy! KL has been sucking Sarawak & Sabah’s blood. What development? Even watching from afar, we have reached the brink now: We call the most horrific curse on those criminals. The people's power, the people's day will come.
