Deputy President Datuk Eric Majimbun said this is particularly so in the population of those grouped under the "Other Bumiputera" and "Malay" categories, which recorded a drastic increase.
Besides, he said the figure of non-Malaysians in Sabah accounting for 923,000 out of the 3.12 million population is alarming.
The census figures provided by the Department seems quite odd compared to previous ones, he said in response to Chief Statistician Dr Haji Abdul Rahman's statement that "the increase in Sabah's population was a bit high because of migration into the State but that there is nothing odd about it".
Majimbun said the statistics for individual race category for Sabah in 2010 showed there were 545,700 Kadazandusun, while for Bajau (398,100), Murut (97,100), Malay (362,700), other bumiputeras (448,800), Chinese (280,600), other races (148,700) and non-Malaysians (923,000), making the total population of 3,120,040.
The 2000 population census, however, showed there were 458,769 Kadazandusun then, while for Bajau (330,996), Murut (80,872), Malay (225,819) plus Muslim Bumiputera (69,014), Chinese (254,528), others (133,766) and migrants/non-Malaysian (552,987), making the total 2,488,248.
And the 1991 population census revealed there were 321,834 Kadazandusun, Bajau (203,457), Murut (50,255), Malay (57,375) plus Muslim Bumiputera (48,365), other bumiputeras (246,735), Chinese (200,056), others (180,433) and migrants (425,433), making the total of 1,734,685.
The government's lump sum figure for 1980 showed there were 838,141 natives in Sabah then, while Chinese (163,996) and others (8,296), making up a population of 1,011,046.
These clearly showed a puzzling sudden booming in the population of those grouped under certain race categories which warrants serious attention, said Majimbun.
"The tremendous sudden increase in certain race categories is alarming and threatening our harmonious and peace-loving citizens in Sabah ...who are these people actually?" he charged.
Majimbun said it is worrying because the census figures between 1970 to 2010 showed a 390 percent increase (from 636,431 in 1970 to 3,120,040 in 2010), compared to neighbouring Sarawak which had a total population of 976,269 in 1970 and 2,420,009 in 2010, an increase by only 148 percent.
"It cannot be taken as an assumption that all this while the government statistics is wrong," he said.
Apa yang dihairankan tu Datuk, rakyat sabah sudah lali dengan karenah pemimpin dari Semenanjung, kenyataan mereka tetap sahaja menyakiti hati rakyat Sabah.Tungguh saja masanya. Tetap**
ReplyDeletePaling tidak dapat diterima ialah bila pemimpin Malaya cakap PATI/pelarian ni bukan satu masalah di Sabah.
DeletePATI adalah masalah besar kepada sabah...itu yang pasti...dan RCI perlu disegerakan.
DeleteThe figure is obviously lowering down.
Deletehanya orang Sabah yang tahu bagaimana seriusnya masalah PATI di Sabah.
DeleteRCI needs to be implemented immediately. The situation in SAbah is beginning to get out of contrl.
DeleteMasalah PATI Semakin serius, langkah wajar harus dikaji untuk mengurangkan jumlah ini.
DeleteA cliche and no rocket-science. Thieves do show up in ties and suits with a pitch. Onmuo thinks they are lanuns moonlighting bigtime.
ReplyDeletePATI is here to stay!!! We will rise and continue our bloodline in Sabah wether you Sabahan like it or not!!!
ReplyDeleteWe contributed to Sabah growth by working hard on jobs that you Sabahan are lazy to work at. But all hardwork is paid back as our children now hold government positions from bring adun mp to clerk level. PATI are hardworking n smart not like you Sabahan particularly there are races that are pure lazy and overly depended on government !!! Some only drink day n night. Some act like beggar n expect special privileges n specify status but not willing to work hard. Hidup PATI .... BN kekal berkuasa !!!!!!
very good ah you!!nice!
DeleteSome of the locals are lazy and only know how to complaint but it doesn't mean PATI have privileges in Sabah!
DeletePATI will always remain as PATI forever...
DeleteWho say illegals don't have privilege? Sabahans are not lazy, our paycheck is not fair what you get.
DeleteI hate PATI. kick them out from Sabah!
DeleteSelesaikan masalah pati dengan segera.. masalah pati sedikit sebanyak menggangu ekonomi Sabah.
DeleteHopefully the illegal immigrant issues will be resolved with the Royal Commission Inquiry.
ReplyDeleteBetter make it fast. PATI problem is alarming at the very high of its frequency.
DeleteRCI harus disegerakan...selain itu, tindakan drastik harus diambil untuk menghalau PATI dari sabah...
DeleteThe government is keen enough to help curb the illegals.
DeleteBut the question is when will it be establish??
DeleteI hope it wouldn't take too long for RCI to be set up.
DeleteKerajaan telah berjanji untuk menubuhkan RCI, pasti akan ditunaikan.
DeleteRCI is in the final stage now.
DeleteRCI should be set up not only in Sabah but in all states of the country as well.
ReplyDeleteHow long have to wait for the TOR?
Deleteit's been said that the TOR is now in the final stage..hopefully it will be done soon...we want the RCI to set up before the general election..
DeleteJangan biarkan masalah ini menganggu kami di sini.
Deleteya..Selangor pun ramai warga asing juga.
DeleteNot only sabah, in fact other parts of Malaysia too.
DeletePATIs know how to breed only let their children become beggars! What an eyesore
ReplyDeleteInilah juga penyebab ramai kanak2 yang tiada kewarganegaraan.
DeletePity these children.
DeleteKerajaan persekutuan dan kerajaan PATI asal harus kerjasama untuk menanggani masalah tersebut agar tidak ada kanak-kanak yang kehilangan kewarganegaraan.
Deletestatistik tersebut mencetuskan kebimbangan...sempadan negara begitu mudah dicerobohi..kerajaan harus bertindak dengan lebih agresif dan tegas..
ReplyDeleteWhy keep on blaming the government?
DeleteJangan hanya menyalahkan kerajaan dalam hal ini, semua harus bersatu hati untuk menyelesaikan masalah Pati ini.
Deleteitu TOR bagaimana sudah? harap RCI ditubuhkan tahun ini..
ReplyDeleteThe last i heard, it in the final stage of drafting.
DeleteWhy holding up the setup of RCI?
ReplyDeleteGuess only the authorities can amswer the question.
DeleteSabahans need to work harder.
ReplyDeleteThere is need for co-operation as well.
DeleteMasalah akan lebih mudah ditanggani sekiranya rakyat dan semua pihak yang berkenaan bekerjasama dana menyelesaikan masalah PATI.
DeleteThe government would have to do something about this.
ReplyDeletePasti kerajaan akan ambil tindakan jika kita terus meminta supaya hal ini diselesaikan segera.
DeleteRCI could not be implemented without TOR.
DeleteMemang teruk maslaah PATI di Sabah dan jika dibiarkan silap haribulan merana kejadian generasi masa hadapan nanti.
ReplyDeleteIF this pati issue left unsolved, sabah will face a very big problem in the near future.
DeleteSemoga penubuhan RCI dipercepatkan. Manalah tahu dapat membantu menanggani isu ini dengan lebih cepat.
ReplyDeleteRCI harus ditubuhkan sebelum PRU.. Moga2x kerajaan akan mempercepatkan penubuhan RCI.
DeletePastikan isu pati berjaya ditanggani supaya hal ini tidak lagi jadi bahan untuk dipolitikkan.
ReplyDeleteSAPP is enjoying using this issue as a way to get the people to go against the government.
DeleteSAPP cuma mahu tumpang isu pihak lain saja. Populariti
DeleteIsu PATI perlulah ditangani supaya tidak menjadi lebih teruk nanti.
DeleteWhat happen to the plan to implement RCI?? I hope it is still not in the TOR stage.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Najib Razak promised that once the Terms of Reference have been finalized, the RCI will be formed.
DeleteSAPP just want to make publicity
ReplyDeleteThe 923,000 non-Malaysians within our states must be eliminated from the voter registration list before the next GE.
ReplyDeletebilalah RCI nak ditubuhkan bagi atasi isu ini?
ReplyDeleteorang tempatan pun kena beri kerjasama banteras PTI, jgn beri perlindungan kepada PATI.
ReplyDeleteMajikan tempatan beri peluang kepada pekerja tempatan, jangan mengaji Pati.
DeleteKalau orang2 Sabah boikot PATI, macammana la keadaan di Sabah ini?
ReplyDeletePATI yang merosakkan bumi Sabah! Harap RCI dapat menyelesaikan masalah ini dengan segera.
ReplyDeleteIsu pati sudah lama berlaku, rakyat mengharapkan agar masalah ini cepat selesai untuk kebaikan rakyat.
ReplyDeleteNajib will form the team soon. Hope for the best.
ReplyDeletePATI semakin bermaharajarela di Sabah, harus mengambil langkah yang wajar.
ReplyDeleteApa pun pastikan mereka yang benar-benar layak mengundi saja yang dibenarkan pada PRu13 ini.
ReplyDeleteKehadiran warga asing di Sabah ini memang membimbangkan tambahan lagi jumlah mereka yang terlalu ramai.
ReplyDeleteitu tandanya peluang cari makan di Sabah amat luas.. dan juga membuktikan bahawa warga Sabah mengalu2kan kehadiran PATI dengan memberikan mereka tempat tinggal, pekerjaan, tempat berniaga dan membeli barang2 yang mereka jual..
Deletemasa YTL jadi KM Sabah, berapa ramai pula pendatang hara waktu tu??
ReplyDeletesejak kebelakangan ni, SAPP banyak bangkitkan isu2 recycle.. ketandusan isu ka? rajin2 la turun padang selesaikan masalah rakyat.. jangan guna cara mudah untuk dapatkan sokongan..
ReplyDeletePrime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in announcing the details and terms of reference on the setting up of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah here today, said it would be given six months to complete its investigation on the influx of illegal immigrants in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteHe said the six months period would begin from the date the instrument of appointments were issued to the RCI chairman and panel members and that the report would be submitted to Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
ReplyDeleteThe commission will be chaired by former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong while Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry secretary-general Datuk Saripuddin Kasim has been appointed as the secretary.
ReplyDeleteThe RCI will have four commissioners namely former Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Kamaruzaman Ampon, former Sabah Attorney-General Tan Sri Herman Luping, former Sabah State Secretary Datuk K.Y Mustafa and Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation deputy chairman, Datuk Henry Chin Poy Wu.
ReplyDeleteThe prime minister also announced the terms of reference for the commission, which was to investigate the number of immigrants in Sabah who were issued identity cards or citizenship.
ReplyDeleteHe said the investigation would focus on whether the issuance of the blue identity cards or citizenship to the immigrants was made based on the law.
ReplyDeleteApart from that, Najib said the RCI would also investigate whether the relevant authorities had taken any action or made efforts to improve standard operating procedures, methods and regulations to avoid non-uniformity with the law in regard to the matter.
ReplyDeleteFurther investigation was also needed in matters pertaining to the standard operating procedures, methods and regulations on the issuance of the blue identity cards or citizenship to immigrants in Sabah by taking into account international standard and norms used in Malaysia, he added.
ReplyDeleteIt will recommend amendments or changes to strengthen or improve the standard operating procedures, methods and regulations.
ReplyDeleteNajib said the RCI was also set up to find the cause for the increase in the population in Sabah, based on several categories, namely, Sabah people residing in the state, including those who had been issued with blue identity card and citizenship through birth certificates (late registration), foreign workers (including family members), illegal immigrants (including family members) and refugees, as well as the effects on the number of voters in the electoral roll.
ReplyDeleteThe RCI will also investigate the social implications on the society in Sabah arising from the issuance of the blue identity card or citizenship to immigrants and the number of immigrants in Sabah who have been given the blue identity card or citizenship by taking into account their status as stateless people.
ReplyDeleteNajib said the setting up of the commission proved the federal government's high commitment to investigate issues pertaining to immigrants in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteHe said the government hoped that the Sabah people would benefit from the setting up of the commission and give their support to the government's efforts to look for the best strategy and approach to address the problem.
ReplyDeletePrior to this, several quarters in Sabah, including state BN component parties and non-governmental organisations, were loud in voicing their concerns over the problems of illegal immigrants in the state and wanted the BN government to address the problem.
ReplyDeleteBased on answers given in parliament last year, the population in Sabah, which was 651,304 in 1970, rose to 929,299 a decade later. However, two decades after that, it rose to 1.5 million and in 2000, it was 2,468,246 people.
