The Association for the Promotion of Human Rights (Proham) wants the government to include identifying the culprits and recommending their punishment in the Sabah Royal Commission of Inquiry's (RCI) scope.
The RCI has recently been set up to examine claims that immigrants were illegally granted citizenship for votes.

"Proham therefore calls on the federal government to add two additional terms of reference, namely to make appropriate recommendations pertaining to effective solutions on the presence of large number of illegal immigrants in Sabah, including reviewing standard operating procedures and regulations in order to ensure such occurrences do not recur.
"This is in addition to identifying and recommending appropriate action on those responsible if the RCI investigations reveal discrepancies," they said.
However, the duo also lauded the commission's composition which they described as made up of "credible individuals with legal, administrative, academic and contextual expertise" but noted that there was a lack of gender representation.
"Proham acknowledges the comprehensive terms of reference which is very fully focused on determining the issues pertaining to immigration, issuance of the IC and determining the population issues.
"This is right and these facts must be investigated and determined in an objective and rational way so as to restore public confidence through independent verification and release of all data into the public domain," they said.
Based on answers given in parliament last year, the population in Sabah, which was 651,304 in 1970, rose to 929,299 a decade later. However, two decades after that, it rose to 1.5 million and in 2000, it was 2,468,246 people. Seven out of every eight urban Sabahans want a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) into the illegal immigrant problem in the state, which Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders there insist must be held before upcoming elections, according to a recent poll.
ReplyDeletehukuman bagi pihak yang menjadi dalang kepada projek IC perlu lebih berat dari pesalah imigresen yang lain..
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Jail for life and canes!
Deleteya.. mereka adalah pengkhianat, kenakan hukuman setimpal.
Deletepandangan ni pasti akan dipertimbangkan demi untuk keberkesanan pelaksanaan RCI. sokong!
DeleteSesiapa yang terlibat harus dikenakan tindakan undang-undang yang ketat.
Deletememandangkan isu PATI dan projek IC sedang dalam perhatian kerajaan melalui penubuhan RCI, eloklah Proham memfokuskan isu lain di Sabah seperti tanah dan kemiskinan..
ReplyDeleteya.. isu2 lain kena diberi perhatian jg.
DeleteKalau pelaksanaan RCI ni berkesan rasanya secara tidak langsung masalah tanah dan kemiskinan juga akan dapat dikurangkan.
DeleteMasidi said the people were not happy with the explosion of population in Sabah, saying “it is rather alarming compared to other states”.
ReplyDeleteSemoga RCI dapat menyelesaikan isu PATI secara berkesan.
ReplyDeleteKami menantikan pengumuman sah berkenaan RCI. Harap-harap dapat membuat siasatan sebelum PRU13.
ReplyDeleteJust wonder how and which department should involve in their investigation?
ReplyDeleteApakah tindakan akan diambil jika pati ditangkap sebab tiada dokumen/ mengguna dokumen yang palsu?
