Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim says he is willing to testify before the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah if he is summoned.
He also took Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to task for continuing to allow the registration of foreigners as citizens during his administration.Anwar, who was deputy prime minister in the 1990s before he was sacked in 1998, reiterated that he had no role in the alleged awarding of citizenship to immigrants in Sabah.
"You can check the records and ask the secretaries-general of the ministries that may be involved whether I was present at meetings or briefings on the awarding of citizenship.
"Even when I was the acting prime minister, I was not involved in such things.
"It (citizenship for foreigners) was due to the involvement of the late Megat Junid Megat Ayub and Abdul Aziz Shamsuddin, with the support of the prime minister at that time (Dr Mahathir Mohamad)," Anwar said.
