NO ROYAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY FOR MALAYSIAN SABAH?

KOTA KINABALU, Sabah, Malaysia - Opposition Sabah Progressive Peoples Party (SAPP) said A Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the perennial issue of illegal immigrants and related matters is not going to happen no matter how much the issue is flogged.
As such Sabahans should not bother holding their breaths, hoping for a ‘miracle’, said SAPP in a statement.
Doubtful that the federal government would ever go for a RCI, SAPP information chief Chong Pit Fah (left photo) said the Putrajaya’s silence on the issue was a clear indication that it is a matter they are unwilling or cannot confront.
Chong claimed that the government is worried that setting up a RCI would backfire on them and some uncomfortable truths will be exposed.

• He pointed out that while the various Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties had claimed that the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak(right photo) had given the nod for the RCI to be set up, nothing more was heard of it.
• “PBS, UPKO and LDP were left red faced when Najib didn’t make any announcement about the matter during his recent visit to Sabah.
• “The federal government is attempting to sweep the decade long issue under the carpet,” he said, adding that he agrees with Sabah PKR leader Dr Chong Eng Leong that there are tens of thousands of unqualified voters in Sabah’s electoral rolls.
• The RCI, if set up, would have to investigate and explain the so called ‘Project IC’ where foreigners and illegal immigrants were given MyKads and registered as voters and how they became members of BN component parties.
