SAPP had made the call for the setting up of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Sabah’s Illegal immigrant problem to the Federal authorities to clear doubts in the minds of Sabahans as to the unusual population increase in the number of Malaysians in Sabah.
To that effect, in February 2011 that SAPP Youth had taken the initiative to collect 100,000 signatures from Malaysians and had since delivered the Memorandum to the Prime Minister as well as the Sabah Chief Minister. During the signature campaign exercise, many, especially in BN, then ridiculed us and said that SAPP was harping on old issues as “we had run out of more relevant issues to raise”.
However, during the recent months, it was interesting to note that BN components, especially PBS leaders had taken to the papers to “demand” that RCI should be set up. The slow build up was deliberate and vivid. Today’s report on Harian Ekspres was indicative that PBS Secretary General, Datuk Radin Malleh had somehow got advance word that the Prime Minister had already agreed to set up the RCI on Sabah’s illegal immigrants and was preparing to heap self congratulatory praise on himself and PBS .
It seems that once again, that BN component leaders wants to hoodwink the rakyat of Sabah into thinking that if it were not for these so called leaders, the RCI will not be set up.
But, it is not a matter of simply setting up the RCI. The rakyat of Sabah demands that the findings of the investigations are acted upon. For starters, why not refute the findings of the book by MD Mutalib? What Sabahans clearly fear is an announcement that the RCI will be set up but no findings of investigations revealed due to lack of time, courteousy of PRU 13. Sabahans have watched many political “wayangs” over the years, and may be treated to yet another “BN wayang kulit”.
In addition, SAPP Youth wants credible members to be part of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Sabah’s Illegal immigrant problem. Otherwise, it will be another “VK Lingam” fracas. Let us hope that the impending PRU 13 election is not the only reason why the RCI seems to be seeing the light of day.
Edward Dagul is Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Youth Chief.
SAPP is non-stop being suspicious of how things will unfold.Wait and see lah.
ReplyDeleteOpposition will say anything just to make the gov look bad. I mean that's what all opposition do.
DeleteThey do anything just to get the people on their side.
DeleteSAPP saja mau buat isu agar nampak baik di mata rakyat.
Deletesapp juga cuba mendapatkan perhatian melalui isu ini..
DeleteNo doubt, SAPP's noble intention is to get things right with pressuring this issue which is deep in our people's heart, our grievances and justice we demand. The only way out is to vote BN out...they are a bunch of traitors to our country.
ReplyDeleteThe gov is always aware of this issue but they need to be pressure by all parties to actually take action to solve it immediately.
DeleteNo doubt that the gov did find a solution to the pati issue but unfortunately it was not effective enough.
DeleteVoting out BN is not the only way. Cause when u say voting out BN, that means you expecting the people to vote anything but BN. With the many parties in sabah, the votes will definitely split and thus BN will once again win.
DeleteLets hope that GE13 will be different. All opposition parties must unite if they want to win.
DeleteUPKO Bernard Dompok will be discussing the setting up of the RCI with PM Najib and I expect Najib will announce his decision soon.
ReplyDeleteSAPP bising2 ja pasal RCI .. padahal UPKO-BN juga yang berabis perjuangkan RCI.
DeleteUPKO BN berabispun manalah NAJIS mahu dengar.Kalau NAJIS ini ikut UPKO BN bererti NAJIS gali lubang kubor sendiri.
DeleteSAPP ini saya tidak pasti kalau ada agenda selain daripada mahu ketelusan dan "kebersihan" dalam mengeluarkan IC IC di Sabah.Bila ada tangkapan dikawasan KL,orang orang Sabah ini sebenarnya orang asing lebih tepat lagi bukan asal Sabah cuma datang untuk ambil dan buat IC.
Wilfred Mojilip saya akui cukup tegas dengan isu IC tapi yang lain,MCM Si Mositun,Pairin - apa sudah jadi.MASIH HIDUP LAGI KAH???
For me, its a good sign already that Najib is willing to discuss about the setting up of RCI in sabah.
DeleteLets hope that there will be positive feedback from the discussion.
Deletedikatakan bahawa najib akan mengumumkan keputusan mengenai RCI masa beliau datang melawat kerja di sabah pada 16 feb..
DeleteHarap PM akan mengumumkan perkara positif kepada rakyat Sabah yang ingin RCI di tubuhkan untuk menyiasat perkara ini.
Deleteharap perbincangan ini akan memberikan hasil yang baik kepada semua..
DeleteSemoga RCI ini akan dimulakan segera, awal siasat awal selesai.
DeleteUnfortunately, SAPP's 100,000 signature petition has not yet seen any results, though.
ReplyDeletesignature alone will not do the trick.
DeleteI agree with Edward, ini Wayang Kulit saja. Ada kah pernah kit boleh percaya UMNO? Ini mainan untuk ambil undi saja. Keputusan RCI nanti kena mainan saja. Jangan lah percaya sama sekali kepada UMNO.
ReplyDeletedoes it always have to be "wayang kulit"???so what if it is, the most importantly we get them to set up rci before election comes. Its their job to take care of the people's welfare.
DeleteEven if its merely a "wayang kulit", so be it. The people have their own mind to think and decide what is best for them. Its their choice to vote whoever they want.
Deletewayang kulit UMNO atau wayang kulit SAPP?
DeleteRasanya ini wayang kulit SAPP untuk meraih undi rakyat.
DeleteKalau tidak silap, kerajaan persekutuaan bersetuju setting up RCI.
ReplyDeleteAgree setting up RCI? that the mostly near to green light in implement RCI in Sabah. Hopefully Sabah get the approval in RCI matter.
DeleteJika RCI ditubuhkan, pastikan ia bebas daripada dimanipulasi.
DeleteIt will be a good news to all sabahan if RCI is set up in sabah.
DeleteWe shall wait for Najib official announcement. Let it be good news to the sabahan!
Deleteitu yang saya dengar...kalau ditubuhkan ahli RCI ini haruslah hanya di kalangan pemimpin sabah...disarankan agar tan sri simon turut dilantik..
Deletetengok saja la nanti macam mana. Tapi pendapat saya kemungkinan besar RCI dapat dilaksanakan di Sabah. Persekutuan semacam memberi respon positif dalam perjumpaan Dompok dengan PM
ReplyDeletejika begitu, RCI pasti akan ditubuhkan tak lama lagi.
Deletewe shall wait and see.
Deletedan diharap RCi ditubuhkan sebelum PRU13...
Deleterasanya RCI akan ditubuhkan sebab banyak pihak yang sokong penubuhan RCI.
DeleteHope the action taken by SAPP is really for the benefit of Sabahan and not for party political gain.
ReplyDeleteI do agreed to set up the RCI with serious intention to solve the issue.
Apa-apa pun politik bah sekarang.
DeleteIn politics, its hard to tell whether they are actually sincere to help the people or just a way to fish for votes.
DeleteSAPP kena berhenti menunjuk-nunjuk...keegoaan SAPP harus dihentikan...sekarang ramai orang berpendapat, SAPP mahu2 menjadi hero..
DeleteBegini lah politik, pembangkang sentiasa memburukkan kerajaan, biarpun apa kerajaan buat adalah untuk rakyat.
Deletedalam politik banyak isu dimainkan untuk dapatkan perhatian.
DeleteFasal RCI ini saya rasa rasa kena tanya dulu Sultan Suluk Sultan Akjan.Kalau Tuanku Akjan luluskan boleh buat RCI.
ReplyDeleteGonzales
Looks like you have given up hope on sabah.
Deletekalau ditubuhkan RCI diharap tu sultan sulu Akjan turut disiasat...dia pun mastermind projek IC tu..
DeleteCuba kamu fikir dalam sekali ba. Sekarang ni mmg lewat suda mw kc pulih Sabah (kalau kc pulih maksud kc buang suma PATI@Pendatang haram ni).. Tngok la sendiri, bnyak suda 'org diorg' yg ada jawatan, pangkat di kerajaan, sana di ladang2, jalanan, bandar2, pekan2, kampung2. Yg penting kita kc STOP kemasukan diorg supaya nda bertambah. Tngok diorg, beranak cucu suda. APa juga tindakan kamu fikir diorgan mw buat kalau RCI mmg betul2 kna laksana ? DApat selesaikan masalah sebenar di Sabah ni ??
ReplyDeleteBukan setakat beranak cucu, yang sampai anak cucu dorang jadi tempatan pun ada gara2 kawin ma local.. So apa cerita.???
DeleteMemang RCI bukan dapat kasi settle semua masalah PATI/PATAI ni. Tapi selagi ada cara, usahakan saja.
Deletei agree that it is too late to completely solve this issue but every problem has a solution. We mustn't give up hope. We need to fight for sabah.
Deletedapat selesai atau tidak itu belakang cerita...tunggu dilaksanakan dulu baru kita tahu...yang penting penyelesaian...at least kita tahu siapa punya angkara tu projek IC..
DeleteHope the Federal Government will do something about this.
ReplyDeleteThey have no choice but to do something or else more problems will arise.
DeleteRCI should be implemented in the state.
ReplyDeleteThe issue of implementing RCI is a good idea but shouldn’t be relied upon in resolving all issues faced today.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for RCI to set up in sabah is to investigate the issue and to come up with an effective solution.
DeleteLet’s adhere to the call of the people.
ReplyDeleteLet the people of Sabah unite and vote wisely.
ReplyDeleteThe people will know what is best for them.
DeleteBaguslah bah kalau semua pun mahu bising pasal RCI. Mana tahu terus ditubuhkan:P hahaha
ReplyDeleteIsu pati dah berlanjutan lama bah dats y la, ramai yang mahukan RCI ditubuhkan bagi menanggani hal ni.
ReplyDeleteSebab sudah lama berlanjutanlah rakyat sudah bosan, harap RCI dapat di tubuhkan agar semua pihak berpuas hati.
DeleteHarap2, kerajaan dapat mempertimbangkan perkara ini sewajarnya dan menubuhkan RCI demi kepentingan bersama.
ReplyDeleteini permintaan rakyat, jadi rasanya RCI akan ditubuhkan...
DeleteApapun, kita tunggu dan lihat sajalah nanti.
ReplyDeleteRCI?? again ?? how far can it go ? how effective it can be ? Who is leading the RCI?
ReplyDeletekita tunggu dan lihat...kalau orang semenanjung yang leading, kita protes...yang patut menganggotai RCI adalah mereka yang nuetral dan tidak terlibat dalam mana2 parti..disarankan tan sri simon sipaun menjadi pengerusi..
DeleteSudah dimaklumkan bahawa kerajaan persekutuan dalam perbincangan mengenai RCI untuk Sabah ini.
ReplyDeleteJadi SAPP tidak perlulah mengulang berjuta kali meminta RCI ditubuhkan. Kerajaan Negeri juga tidak ada bantahan untuk perlaksanaan ini. Jadi tidak perlulah mahu copy paste perkara ini lagi.
ReplyDeleteSAPP tidak patut mempolitikkan RCI untuk kepentingan mereka...
DeleteRCI pasti akan ditubuhkan. Pihak Kerajaan Pusat sudah mula membincangkan perkara ini.
ReplyDeleteMungkin dengan adanya RCI ini nanti dapatlah menyiasat mengenai PATI dan mykad palsu projek di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteSetting up the RCI is the much talk about issue in Sabah at this moment. how effective will it be when it is set up !! this will be a big conern of the people of Sabah.
ReplyDeleteJust go ahead and try, Im sure its good to identify the issue.
Deletebila RCI berjaya ditubuhkan di negeri ini, mesti sapp yang lebih dulu masuk media kononnya mereka yang berjuang untuk hak rakyat Sabah..
ReplyDeleteyang penting RCI ditubuhkan...
ReplyDeleteharap RCI ini akan dapat ditubuhkan dengan segera agar masalah pati akan berjaya diselesaikan.
ReplyDeleteAs of this date, the Najib administration has given its consent pertaining to this matter.
ReplyDeleteAll we need to do now is to wait for the actual implementation of the RCI, which I hoped will be done before the parliament is dissolved.
DeleteThey have given the honour of the announcement to the PM
ReplyDeleteEven though the deliberating process took quite some time, but at least we are on the right track regarding this matter.
ReplyDeleteThe matter at hand was well received by majority of opposition as well, they even recommended some steps that needs to be taken into account to ensure the integrity of the RCI on Illegal Immigrants.
ReplyDeleteNow we wait for this announcement that will bring a long term benefit to the people of Sabah for many generations to come.
ReplyDeleteSeharus bersikap positif terhadap SAPP yang juga berjuang demi rakyat.
ReplyDeleteLets wait the federal to come with his brilliant decision to setup RCI.
ReplyDeleteIf non of the method that is better than RCI, must well try first!
ReplyDeleteJangan beli masa, sebab masalah PATI tidak harus berlanjutan.
ReplyDeleteMacam SAPP saja yang memperjuangkan RCI, banyak parti juga yang sokong.
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants RCI, that's not the point.
