KOTA KINABALU: The five-man Royal Commission of Inquiry panel conducting a comprehensive probe into Sabah's illegal immigrant problem will begin open court hearings from Monday.
The panel, headed by former chief judge of Borneo Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong, will begin to hear witness testimonies at a courtroom of the Kota Kinabalu High Court here, the panel's secretary Datuk Saripuddin Kasim said Friday.
The first round of public hearings, the first since the panel was set up on Sept 21 last year, is scheduled for five days until Jan 18, and again from Jan 28, he said.
The panel has so far identified 48 witnesses to testify at the hearings. The witnesses were selected after a special team interviewed and verified claims pertaining to issues of illegal immigrants in the state.
As of Friday, parties from both sides of the political divide continued furnish the panel's investigators with details pertaining to the claims.
Among the panel's terms of reference are determining the number of immigrants in Sabah, investigating if blue identity cards or citizenship papers were issued to immigrants and whether they were registered in the electoral roll, and the abnormal increase in Sabah's population.
The panel has been given six months to complete the probe.

ReplyDeleteKetika mengumumkan terma rujukan suruhanjaya itu pada 11 Ogos tahun lalu, Perdana Menteri berkata antara lain, suruhanjaya itu akan menyiasat jumlah pendatang tanpa izin di Sabah yang memiliki kad pengenalan atau kewarganegaraan.
ReplyDeleteIsu kewarganegaraan amat merisaukan.
DeleteJika isu ini dapat di selesaikan oleh kerajaan pasti akan mengembirakan rakyat Sabah.
DeleteSiasatan memberi tumpuan sama ada pengeluaran kad pengenalan biru atau kewarganegaraan kepada pendatang terbabit dibuat berdasarkan undang-undang di samping menyiasat sama ada mereka yang memperoleh kad pengenalan biru atau resit pengenalan sementara (biru) atau kewarganegaraan secara tidak mengikut undang-undang, didaftarkan dalam Daftar Pemilih.
ReplyDeleteRCI itu turut menyiasat sama ada pihak berkuasa berkaitan telah mengambil sebarang tindakan atau membuat apa-apa penambahbaikan kepada prosedur amalan standard, kaedah dan peraturan untuk mengelak ketidakteraturan dari segi undang-undang.
ReplyDeleteSiasatan lanjut diperlukan dalam perkara berkaitan prosedur amalan standard, kaedah dan peraturan berhubung pengeluaran kad pengenalan biru atau kewarganegaraan kepada pendatang asing di Sabah dengan mengambil kira standard antarabangsa dan norma yang terpakai bagi Malaysia.
ReplyDeletePihak yang salah menggunakan kuasa dan memberi mykad dengan sesuka hati harus dikenakan tindakan undang-undang.
DeleteSesiapa sahaja yang bersubahat dengan Pati harus di kenakan tindakan tegas.
DeleteThe minister of plantation industries and commodities said the government was serious in handling issues worrying Sabahans such as the increasing number of illegal migrants in the state.
ReplyDelete“The government views this issue seriously, which is why we established a RCI.
ReplyDelete“And of course certain people will say this is a political gimmick, but it is unfair to say so as the RCI has yet to begin.
“Let the RCI finish its duty and then we can give them credit,” he said
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had announced the highly-anticipated RCI on Sabah’s illegals on June 1 but stopped short of revealing details of the panel’s composition and terms of reference.
ReplyDeleteThe issue has been bandied about in the media since February 10 when Dompok first announced the Cabinet’s decision to form the RCI.
ReplyDeleteThe unchecked influx of illegal immigrants in Sabah has been a longstanding problem in the BN-ruled state, and frequently blamed for the rise in social, economic and security problems suffered by the locals here.
ReplyDeleteAccording to replies provided in Parliament last year, Sabah’s population numbered 651,304 in 1970 and grew to 929,299 a decade later. But in the two decades following 1980, the state’s population rose significantly by a staggering 1.5 million people, reaching 2,468,246 by 2000.
ReplyDeleteMedia reports said that as of 2010, this number has grown further to 3.12 million, with foreigners making up a sizeable 27 per cent or 889,799 of the population.
ReplyDeleteOpposition leaders have long raged against the BN government for this population explosion, alleging that illegals have been allowed into the east Malaysian state, and given MyKads and voting rights to help the ruling coalition cling to power.
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of the good ways to curb illegals in Sabah.
ReplyDeletePATI harus dihantar belik ke negara asal dengan segera.
DeleteCant wait.
ReplyDeleteSemoga apa yang dihajati tercapai.
ReplyDeleteSo the oppositions have nothing to say about this anymore.
ReplyDeletePaling penting adalah rakyat Sabah dapat hidup aman.
ReplyDeleteLets wait for a better future
ReplyDeleteSaya pasti masalah ini akan selesai.
ReplyDeleteAnd it will be forever no more.
ReplyDeleteKerajaan mmg sentiasa memantau.
ReplyDeleteKerajaan harus ikhlas untuk membukti keikhlasan untuk menanggani isu pati.
ReplyDeleteKerajaan sentiasa ikhlas untuk membantu menyelesaikan masalah Pati di Sabah.
