The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has finally announced the terms of reference of the Sabah Royal Commission of Inquiry on Illegal Immigrants.
My initial tweet comments on Najib’s announcement are as follows:
(1) No RCI as Sabah RCIII (Illegal Immigrants) assailed with such ocean of public skepticism/doubt it is bona fide solution 2 four-decade problem
(2) 1st impressions – (i) too little, too late, too limited in powers
(ii) I/C 4votes no more Sabah problem but nation-wide. Y no national probe
(iii)Estimates of illegal immigrants in Sabah range from 1.5 mil to 2 mil. RCI capable of dealing with this number?
(iv) Do’s/don’ts of RCI?
(v) Can RCI probe Project M n call up Mahathir as star-witness?
(vi) Can RCI probe those responsible for massive issue of false documents?
(vii) why PM taken six months to finalise eight RCI terms of reference.
(viii) BN rejected my Sabah RCI motion in Parliament in 2008. Why?
The eight terms of reference of the RCI announced by Najib are:
1. To investigate the number of foreigners in Sabah given blue Malaysian ICs or citizenships;
2. To investigate if the award of such ICs or citizenships were according to the law;
3. To investigate if those given blue ICs, temporary identification receipts or citizenships through unlawful means have been registered in Sabah’s electoral roll;
4. To investigate if the authorities have taken any action or made improvements to standard operating procedures (SOPs), methods and regulations to prevent any irregularities in accordance with the law;
5. To conduct a deeper probe into the SOPs, methods and regulations on the award of blue ICs or citizenships to foreigners in Sabah by taking into consideration international norms and standards that are applicable to Malaysia, and to recommend amendments or changes to improve current practices;
6. To investigate the reasons behind Sabah’s population growth according to the following categories:
a) Sabah citizens residing in the state, including those given blue ICs or citizenships through birth certificates (late registration);
b) foreign workers (including family members);
c) illegal immigrants (including family members); and
d) fugitives
and to study their impact on the number of those registered in the electoral roll;
7. To investigate the social implications on the Sabah community following the award of blue ICs or citizenships to foreigners in the state; and
8) To investigate the number of “stateless” foreigners in Sabah given blue ICs or citizenships.
The RCI will be chaired by former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong and will comprise four other commissioners ― former Universiti Malaysia Sabah vice-chancellor Datuk Seri Prof Dr Kamaruzaman Ampon, former Sabah Attorney-General Tan Sri Herman J. Luping, Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation deputy chairman and former Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Henry Chin Poy-Wu, and former Sabah State Secretary Datuk Kee Mustafa.
Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry secretary-general Datuk Saripuddin Kasim will act as the RCI secretary.

tidak payah jawab la soalan2 pembangkang ni.. makin dijawab makin banyak soalan2 yang bertujuan untuk mengelirukan rakyat disamping untuk menggagalkan RCI..
ReplyDeleteSoalan2 pembangkang hanya untuk mengelirukan rakyat, menghasut rakyat untuk membenci kerajaan.
Deletepembangkang suka manipulasi untuk kelirukan rakyat.
DeleteRakyat sendiri menilaikannya.
DeleteThe federal government's proposal to set up the commission under the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1950 had received the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Prime Minister told reporters after a meeting with state Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders at the Umno Building near here.Also present was Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman. The prime minister also announced the terms of reference for the commission, which was to investigate the number of immigrants in Sabah who were issued identity cards or citizenship.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Najib, the investigation would focus on whether the issuance of the blue identity cards or citizenship to the immigrants was made based on the law.The commission will also investigate whether those who obtained the blue identity card or temporary identification receipt (blue) or citizenship illegally were registered in the Electoral Roll, he added.Apart from that, Najib said the RCI would also investigate whether the relevant authorities had taken any action or made efforts to improve standard operating procedures, methods and regulations to avoid non-uniformity with the law in regard to the matter.
kenapa LKS tidak tanya sekali apa logiknya Pakatan memberikan status PR kepada PATI sekiranya berjaya merampas kerajaan??
ReplyDeletepembangkang juga sebenarnya ingin jadikan Sabah sebagai fixed deposit mereka. bukan boleh percaya mereka ni.
DeleteGolongan PATI tidak harus diberi status PR dan harus dihantar balik ke negara asal.
Deletesepatutnya pemimpin2 pembangkang memuji dan menyokong usaha Najib menubuhkan RCI untuk menyelesaikan masalah2 PATI dan projek IC di Sabah.. tidak patut timbul istilah lewat kerana Najib baru 4 tahun memerintah negara ini berbanding dengan Tun M yang sudah 22 tahun memerintah..
ReplyDeleteKalau era Mahathir, RCI tidak akan terjadi. Tapi Najib lebih mementingkan rakyat.
DeleteTakkanlah Mahathir mahu hapuskan usaha dan segala jerih payah dia bawa masuk warga asing ke Sabah??tidak mungkin ada RCI era Mahathir ni
DeleteSemoga siasatan RCI menghala ke arah yang positif.
ReplyDeleteBukan kali pertama menubuhkan RCI, tetapi setiap kali tiada perkembangan yang positif.
ReplyDeleteSiasatan belum bermula, harus memberi sokongan yang positif sebab kami pun mengharapkan penyelesaian yang baik.
