'Sabah RCI must call Dr M, Anwar before GE13'

Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Youth has raised concern that key figures implicated in 'Project IC' will not be made to testify ahead of the upcoming general election, before the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah.

In a press release today, SAPP Youth chief Edward Dagul said the only window left is the RCI's next hearing session between March 5 and March 16. 

“(That will be thest chance for the people to be fully informed of the facts of Project IC and the illegal immigrant issue before the people make choice of government in the ballot box,” he said in a statement. 

“We urge the RCI to take heed of the peoples' demands and expectations. 

He was speaking after SAPP Youth members held a protest today at the Kota Kinabalu High Court complex, where the RCI hearings have been taking place.

Other than former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his then deputy Anwar Ibrahim, SAPP Youth said the RCI must probe Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman and his deputy Yahya Hussein.

Dagul said that, if these individuals are not made to testify, the RCI hearings would not be complete and Sabahans will not be satisfied.

Mahathir and Anwar have been repeatedly accused of orchestrating the clandestine operation to grant citizenship to unqualified migrants to alter the Sabah's electoral demographics in favour of the BN.

The plan was believed to have begun in the early 1990s and resulted in the fall of the Parti Bersatu Sabah government in 1994. 

Thus far, testimony at the RCI hearing have pointed fingers at two figures - Aziz Shamsuddin and Megat Junid Megat Ayub - who were said to be very close to Mahathir.
