Sabah Umno liaison deputy chief Salleh Said Keruak has challenged opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to tell the truth about the illegal immigrants to the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) tasked with looking into the long-standing problem in the state.
He asserted that Anwar was duty-bound to do so as he was deputy prime minister at that particular period, adding that "he was a powerful man and knew what was going on in Sabah".
"Don't be a hypocrite, perharps with the inside knowledge, Anwar can help shed some light... so tell the truth to RCI.
"He must not play politics. At least Najib Abdul Razak, our prime minister is prepared to seek the truth and approved the formation of RCI to identify the roots of the problem.
"We should not come into a conclusion and blame certain parties just because of statements by few ex-Internal Security Act (ISA) detainees. We should let RCI complete its works... What we want is a permanent solution," he told Bernama after attending a meet-the-people session at SK Sembirai, near Kota Belud today.
In this respect, Salleh, who is also state legislative assembly speaker, said the people should praise and support Najib for his bold move to form the RCI.
