SAPP president Yong Teck Lee made the call in response to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s announcement on the setting up of a royal commission to investigate the Teoh Beng Hock case in view of the inconclusive verdict of the coroner after the inquest.
“Everyone in Sabah is asking, how about a royal commission of inquiry on illegal immigration and the issuance of MyKads to illegals in Sabah and the threat to national security?
“Surely, the illegal immigrant crisis, dubbed the ‘Mother of all threats’, is equally, if not more, deserving of a royal commission of inquiry?” Yong asked in a statement here yesterday.
He said that in the last few years, there have been the a royal commissions of inquiry on the police (2004), on the nude squat video clip of a woman (2005) and even a video clip of lawyer VK Lingam (2007).
“SAPP and some other political parties have repeatedly sought for a royal commission of inquiry (on illegal immigrants).
“SAPP’s MPs similarly have voiced the same in Parliament.
“SAPP calls on the federal Cabinet, which consists of four full ministers from Sabah, to immediately push for a royal commission on illegal immigration in Sabah,” he added.
He noted that PBS, a BN component party, had last year given a deadline of 2012 to finally resolve the illegal immigration crisis in Sabah.
Yong, a former chief minister, said that PBS MPs and its leaders in the Sabah Cabinet must similarly take a clear and unequivocal stand calling for a royal commission to resolve the issue without further delay.
“In spite of repeated assurances by both state and federal ministers to tackle the illegal immigration crisis in Sabah, the situation in the state has gone from bad to worse.
“What are our government leaders waiting for?” he asked.
This will never happen as this is the FIXED DEPOSIT of UMNO. WHY NOT ASK BERNARD DOMPOK TO EXPLAIN WHY HE WAS REGAINING WHEN HE WAS APPOINTED TO BE THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMITTEE; MIND YOU HES APPOINTED BY THE PARLIMENT. THE ONLY WAY FOWARD IF the people of sabah SERIOUSLY wants the change they have to unite as a force under a local party to claim the autonomy of Sabah that had been negelated for the past 47 years. People like Jeffery only talk through his nose;he is only to persue his personal agendas for power and greeds just like he was once as CEO of INNPORRISE;not more than that;just like local parties'leaders in BN. hidop pirin,dupok,karup and taliban. Remember KOMPITAI during Japenese occupation.These are the KOMPOTAIs of UMNO in Sabah now.
