Dr M: There were times when citizenship were given to those not eligible which had been done by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman where a million foreigners who did not go through any process were given the opportunity to be Malaysians.
PAPAR: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said his administration never issued any directive to issue Malaysian citizenship and Identity Cards (ICs) to foreigners who were not eligible or had just entered the country.
He said it is not the policy of the government to issue citizenship and ICs to foreigners and immigrants who did not meet the requirements.
"The government policy is to consider and process applications of those who came and stayed in the country for quite some time and were eligible to be Malaysians.
"When approved, we give them Permanent Resident (PR) status and eventually an opportunity to be Malaysians. But I was told that there were non-eligible people who were given citizenship, including those who had just arrived to the country.
"Then this is an abuse of power by the concerned officers for personal gain and personal interest," he told a press conference after attending a "Bicara Minda" programme themed 'Jalan Hadapan Malaysia, Apa Pilihan?' at the multipurpose hall here,' Saturday.
It was jointly organised by the Papar Parliamentary office, Papar Education Office, Federation of Youth Associations in cooperation with People's Development Leader for Pantai Manis, People's Development Leader for Kawang and district office here.
Dr Mahathir was asked on the issue of "Projek IC" in which critics alleged that blue ICs were issued with his knowledge and/or blessing to illegal immigrants In Sabah, especially after the PBS pullout from the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition in 1990.
"I realise this issue is a subject that Sabah people care about. As I have explained, many of us were originally not from this country including from China, India, and the Arab.
"Many had stayed here for so long and had mastered Bahasa, as well as they have been loyal to the government and this country. So, we give them Malaysian citizenships provided they have fulfilled the required criteria.
"Nonetheless, there were times when citizenship were given to those not eligible which had been done by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman where a million foreigners who did not go through any process were given the opportunity to be Malaysians," he said.
On increasing oil royalty for Sabah, Dr. Mahathir said the Government practices sharing of the oil which is the natural wealth irrespective which State is producing and to be distributed fairly among the States, including those not producing oil to enjoy the benefits.
"When Sabah was poor, the Federal Government helped the State....but don't tell me that when Sabah has become rich, it does not want to help other people (states).
That is not sharing because oil is created naturally and it is God's gift.
"For example, when Terengganu was rich with oil, the State did not ask for more oil royalty more than five per cent. In fact, the five per cent oil royalty is given based on gross and not based on profit, which is higher," he said.

They say Sabah joined Malaysia to benefit Sabah. How does giving away 95% of Sabah oil benefit Sabah? So no, you can't say Malaysia benefits Sabah. It is the other way around. It has always been the other way around.

DeleteMAINLY BLAME MAHATHIR FOR SMUGGLING IN ILLEGALS- NAJIB FOR FAILURE TO PROTECT SABAH FROM ILLEGALS INVASION
SULUS AT HOME IN SABAH- THANKS TO DR.M'S ILLEGAL COSMETIC SURGERY ON SABAH
"They are already in their homeland, so why come back?" (Sulu Sultan)
Same question to Mahathir and UMNO- Yes why return Sulus to Sulu when they are citizens of Malaysia?
You made them so- now you to want to unmake your 3.5 million "illegal" mistakes? DOES that explain why your police are tearing up and destroying Sulu IC's
We are not against sending Sulus back to their real home so long as you repatriate them humanely. May be you should pay them a farewell gift from the missing 90 million given by Libya for you to pay the Abu Sayyaf you hired to smuggle them into Sabah.
But isn't the last laugh on you?
Those who are not laughing are the poverty stricken 3.5 million Sulus and others whom you exploited to stack up your vote in Sabah and SarawaK - AND Sabahans and Sarawakians.
When you needed them you hired the terrorist organisation Abu Sayyaf to smuggle all these people from Sulu into Sabah in 1994 to vote against the PBS.
This HAPPENED under your watch Dr.Mahathir- when you illegally stitched up Sabah with a new dilemma by re-engineering the population make-up. SO WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET NOW....
Why so hypocritical and delude yourself as the great generalissimo by telling the troops to play guerrilla war with the Sulus? Are your trying to emulate Mao Zedong?
The Sulus are your blood brothers- linked by a long DNA connection between you and Sulu islanders from centuries back. Now you and your kind call them "terrorists" when you and your government creates this abysmal dilemma for Sabah.
All you were thinking of was your pure Melayu Raya bumiputras copied from Hilter's handbook on Nazism...and S. African apartheid.
What is so pure about flooding the streets of Kuala Lumpurs with Pendatang Muslims. These are now competing with the real Malays for space, jobs, Chinese taxpayers and Sabah Sarawak funded subsidies, schools, public transport,housing, land and eventually they will compete for parliamentary seats...
The mixture you are cooking up is hardly pure. Just mish mash like yourself!

GOOD QUESTION.
ReplyDeleteWHAT WAS THE POINT OF "JOINING MALAYSIA"? NOT TO BE PLUNDERED AS COLONIES!
The word "joining" is incorrect as has been pointed out many times. It was an invitation to "participate" as equal partners in forming the Federation of Malaysia.
When we ask such questions we need to look at the history.
In 1961 the British Malayan "Malaysia proposal" was announced by Tunku A Rahman that 5 countries - Malaya Singapore Brunei North Borneo and Sarawak considered forming a federation of states called "Malaysia".
Britain and Malaya supported their proposal with 2 main justifications:
1. They used the cold war argument of joint security. The colonial perception was that the Borneo colonies were being threatened by foreign invasion and communist takeover (in the wake of the Indo-chinese wars and the Malayan anti-British insurgency). Their interests would be better protected from all this under one consolidated administration called Malaysia. The British Malayan used this as a scare tactic to coerce and persuade the people to support their argument.
2. Both the British and Malayans advanced the same (patently absurd and racist) rationale that the racial composition of all 5 countries would contribute to creating a racially balance nation. This racist argument appealled to some Borneo people but quickly proved to be a Trojan horse to promote a new Malayan colonial domination.
The proposal was opposed by organisations and individuals in the 3 colonies as they feared that this was no more than plan to consolidate British interests and to prolong colonial rule by a mere transfer to Malaya. It was just a re-colonisation of the colonies by Malaya.
North Borneo and Sarawak were represented by British appointed representatives who saw Malaysia as an opportunity to promote their individual interests and did not fully understand the British Malayan agenda.
Brunei saw no point in "joining" on 3 grounds.
1. Malaya demanded control of Brunei oil and revenue during the negotiations.
2. The Malayans refused (a) to treat Brunei as an equal partner and (b) recognise the Brunei Sultanate as equal to the Malayan sultanates and therefore eligible to become king. That means like what happened to Sabah and Sarawak they will always be in a junior position. Small fished in a bigger pond.
3. The Brunei people elected the Brunei People's Party which openly opposed the Malaysia proposal and demanded the unification of the 3 Borneo colonies into an independent federation called "North Kalimantan". British rejection led to the Brunei Uprising in December 1962. This was enough reason for the Sultanate not to become part of Malaysia.

ORIGINAL MALAYSIA CONCEPT DEAD IN 1963
ReplyDeleteThe original Malaysia concept was already dead when Brunei opted out. The absurd rationale about a "racially balanced" Malaysia fell apart as this concept was no longer balanced.
This became a conundrum for the racist UMNO government. It feared that the Singapore Chinese would become the majority. This eventually led the break up with Singapore which was asserting its right to be treated as equal partners. Malaya wanted to be the dominating partner. They were incompatible views.
When Singapore left in 1965, this left UMNO as leading with a majority of "bumiputras". This was not what the British and Malayans were originally apparently arguing for. From a racially balanced Malaysia the idea was transformed into one of racial domination by one so-called bumiputra group. How can this be fair and correct?
So by 1965 the Malaysia concept as ideologically conceived by Britain and Malaya fell apart. Sabah and Sarawak were never consulted about this change in concept or had a say in Singapore's exit from Malaysia. They were purposely left stranded under Malayan control.
Readers can see that this was a different idea and for Malaysia to exist as it is was just a "con" as many pointed out. The people of Sabah and Sarawak simply got a new Malaysia concept of Malayan domination not the original concept of equal partners in Malaysia.
UMNO's hidden agenda was part of the "con" which was actually for implementation of its Melayu Raya Malay dominated Malaysia. This is now a reality in the new institutionalised apartheid NEP system.
The "con" extended to Malayan breaches of the 18/20 Points Agreement to enable Malaya to centralise its control over Sabah and Sarawak with Malayanisation (a softer word for "colonisation"); seizure of their oil and other resources. Re-colonisation was completed in stages with the installation of Kuala Lumpur puppets in power in the 2 colonies and through legislation in taking over government powers and resources.
FAILURE OF MALAYSIA SECURITY RATIONALE
The argument for security against foreign invasion has been dealt with a death blow by the Sulu invasion and RCI revelations. In fact UMNO has actually worked against the security of Sabah by its promotion of the Southern Philippines insurgency which has been confirmed by MNLF leader Nur Misuari.
Further UMNO has been exposed as hiring the Abu Sayyaff gang in 1994 to smuggled in 1 million instant voters into Sabah aided by payment of US$100 million to the gang. The Abu Sayyaf gang's kidnapping of tourists in Sabah was a cover up to make this payment to the gang which UMNO short paid them by $90 million. So there was never any security from foreign invasion.
Nur NMisuari recently called Malaysia as cover for UMNO's colonisation of Sabah and Sarawak.
YES, Malayan domination and control and plunder to develop Malaya was not part of the deal as seen in the conditions set out in the 18 and 20 Points Agreement. That is why UMNO never honoured those agreements.
If a relationship or contract is based on fraudulent misrepresentations why continue such a relationship? It is null and void from the beginning and not binding.
GO THE BRUNEI AND SINGAPORE WAY- FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE!
Apartheid NEP. That is a great way to describe it. This is what Malaya brought to Sabah. Institutionalized racism.

ReplyDeleteDAP has called on the government to stop immediately its annual “cessation payment” of RM5,300 to the self-proclaimed heir of the Sulu sultanate.
ReplyDeleteIts national adviser Lim Kit Siang said it was also imperative that the Malaysian government call on the Philippines to officially drop all claims on Sabah.
Lim said this (dropping the claim) and the all-important act of honouring the fallen heroes in Parliament were the reasons behind his call for a special parliamentary session to be convened urgently.
ReplyDelete“This is why I feel very strongly that there should be a special session of Parliament not only for MPs from both sides of the political divide to express full support and solidarity for all the measures by the security forces to deal with the Sabah Sulu crisis, but also to pay tribute and honour the nine brave fallen heroes.
“It will also assure the nation that the government, from whichever political coalition – Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat – will look after the welfare, as well as the life-long education needs of the children, of the bereaved families as an token of national appreciation of their sacrifices,” Lim added.
ReplyDeleteHe said he had sent an open letter to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak recently urging the Cabinet to convene a special parliamentary session within the week, to adopt an unanimous resolution on the Sabah Sulu crisis.
Lim also conveyed his deepest condolences to Private Mohd Hurairah Ismail from Pasir Mas, Kelantan, the first soldier to be killed in an exchange of fire between armed men linked to an audacious invasion of Sabah. Mohd Hurairah, like the eight police commandoes who were killed by thearmed group in Kampung Tanduo in Lahad Datu and Semporna, died as a national hero in defence of national sovereignty and the security of the people of Sabah and the nation owes them an eternal gratitude.
ReplyDeleteLim, who is also Ipoh Timor MP, said. “I therefore call on all parties and persons to stop playing politics and to unite as one patriotic Malaysian people to face the Sabah crisis as a solid force to fully restore national sovereignty as well as protect the security and welfare of Sabahans .

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad tidak menolak penglibatan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dalam isu pemberian kad pengenalan dan kewarganegaraan kepada pendatang asing di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteBekas Perdana Menteri berkata, perbuatan Anwar itu di luar pengetahuannya kerana tidak pernah memberi arahan tersebut.
Projek IC (kad pengenalan) itu boleh berlaku tanpa pengetahuan dan arahan daripada atasan.

Sementara itu, beliau berkata, Malaysia tidak perlu lagi bergantung kepada pelaburan langsung asing (FDI) kerana perbelanjaan domestik negara cukup kukuh.
ReplyDeleteDr. Mahathir berkata, meskipun begitu, negara amat bertuah kerana pelabur asing terus-menerus mengintai peluang untuk menjalankan perniagaan di sini.
Menurut beliau, yang menariknya, pelabur mengintai masuk ke Malaysia bukan sekadar membuat pelaburan berjuta-juta sebaliknya berbilion-bilion.
ReplyDelete"Ini menunjukkan pelabur asing cukup berkeyakinan dengan ekonomi dan kestabilan negara ini," katanya.
Katanya, keupayaan negara mencatatkan kadar keluaran dalam negara kasar melebihi lima peratus sangat membanggakan berbanding pertumbuhan Amerika Syarikat iaitu tidak sampai satu peratus dan negara Eropah kini dalam kemelesetan ekonomi.
ReplyDelete"Jika fakta itu tidak cukup meyakinkan, kita boleh melihat banyak kren di tengah-tengah bandar di seluruh negara, sebagai tanda projek pembinaan giat dijalankan," katanya.
"Hotel mahupun kondominium yang berada di tengah-tengah bandar pula terang-benderang, menunjukkan bilik mereka ditempah dan kediaman pula berpenghuni.
ReplyDelete"Apabila kediaman berpenghuni, ini membawa maksud pembelian rumah bukan untuk tujuan spekulator dan saya yakin Malaysia tidak berhadapan dengan masalah ini.

ReplyDeleteBeliau yakin pertumbuhan Malaysia akan terus konsisten dan berada pada tahap tertinggi sekiranya negara berjaya mencapai sasaran 70 juta orang penduduk.

ReplyDeleteDalam menghadapi PRU13 yang kian mendekat, Anwar Ibrahim berusaha menimbulkan pelbagai isu untuk menghakis kepercayaan rakyat terhadap Kerajaan UMNO-BN sama ada di peringkat negeri mahupun di peringkat Pusat. Selepas satu demi satu isu yang dimainkan, hanyut begitu sahaja dan pendedahan menunjukkan penglibatan serius Anwar dalam rekaan isu-isu tersebut, Anwar cuba pula untuk menaikkan kemarahan rakyat Sabah menerusi isu kad pengenalan kepada pendatang asing.
ReplyDeleteMangsanya adalah Tun Dr. Mahathir!
Walaupun Anwar Ibrahim cukup sedar, otaknya tidak setara dengan otak Tun Dr. Mahathir, Anwar menyangkakan bekas Perdana Menteri keempat Malaysia itu sudah nyanyuk dan pelupa. Kesempatan itu digunakan oleh Anwar Ibrahim untuk memutarbelitkan beberapa fakta termasuklah penggunaan beberapa orang saksi yang diketahui pernah menjadi tahanan KEMTA kerana terbabit dengan skandal kad pengenalan biru yang mengancam keselamatan negara.
ReplyDeleteKeterangan yang diberikan oleh saksi-saksi tersebut, kini dipersoalkan, memandangkan kesemua mereka adalah individu yang terbabit dalam jenayah berkenaan. Dengan kata lain, mereka merupakan individu-individu yang mudah didorong oleh wang ringgit walaupun terpaksa mengkhianati negara.
ReplyDeleteDan sekarang, mereka menjadi saksi bagi pihak Anwar Ibrahim dan DAP yang mempersoalkan tentang pemberian kad pengenalan biru serta kewarganegaraan kepada kelompok warga asing beragama Islam di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteKetika Tun Dr. Mahathir membuka mulut dengan menyatakan kesediaannya untuk memberi keterangan bagi memudahkan siasatan RCI berhubung kes tersebut, tiba-tiba sahaja YB Jamban, Azmin Ali bersuara dan kelihatan cuba untuk membela Anwar Ibrahim.
ReplyDeleteAzmin Ali cuba membersihkan tangan kotor Anwar Ibrahim dengan meletakkan seluruh kesalahan kepada Tun Dr. Mahathir yang telah menjadi Perdana Menteri dari tahun 1981-2005.
ReplyDeletepembangkang tahu salahkan orang, tapi salah mereka sendiri mereka tidak nampak.
DeleteBenarkah dakwaan Azmin Ali bahawa Anwar Ibrahim tidak terlibat dalam kes pemberian kad pengenalan tersebut?
ReplyDeleteSudah tentulah tidak!
Bahkan Azmin Ali sangat tahu, Anwar Ibrahim adalah orang yang lebih banyak tahu tentang pendatang asing yang diberikan kad pengenalan biru dan taraf kewarganegaraan Malaysia. Sebabnya, siasatan RCI kini sedang menghala ke arahnya dan Anwar Ibrahim mulai resah dan gelisah.
ReplyDeleteAnwar Ibrahim merupakan salah seorang daripada anggota kabinet pada tahun-tahun di mana kontroversi pemberian kad pengenalan dan kewarganegaraan tersebut dipertikaikan.
ReplyDeletePada tahun 1991, sebuah unit khas telah ditubuhkan di bawah Pejabat Ketua Menteri Sabah untuk memantau kebanjiran pendatang haram di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteFaktor tersebut bukanlah merupakan satu kebetulan apabila Anwar Ibrahim MENANG BESAR dalam perebutan jawatan Timbalan Presiden UMNO dengan undi terbesar kemenangannya datang dari Sabah.
ReplyDeleteRamai yang masih ingat, bagaimana Anwar Ibrahim dengan tersenyum simpul dan penuh angkuh menyatakan, dia tidak dapat menolak pencalonan terbanyak yang diterimanya untuk menandingi jawatan yang sedang disandang oleh Allahyarham Tun Ghafar Baba pada waktu itu walaupun pada mulanya, kononnya dia tidak berminat untuk bertanding.
ReplyDeleteRamai saksi yang masih hidup dan sudi menceritakan bagaimana Pejabat Timbalan Perdana Menteri ketika itu, memantau isu kebanjiran pendatang haram Sabah secara mingguan.
ReplyDeleteMalah Anwar SECARA SUKARELA telah menawarkan dirinya untuk menjadi 'PEMANTAU' kebanjiran pendatang haram di Sabah.
ReplyDeletePendatang asing di Sabah merupakan pemain sosio-ekonomi yang sangat penting.
ReplyDeleteJusteru perhatian khusus diberikan untuk masalah berkenaan.
ReplyDeleteAnwar Ibrahim berjaya mempengaruhi Perdana Menteri pada ketika itu (Tun Dr. Mahathir) konon-kononnya untuk memikul tanggungjawab menangani masalah pendatang.
ReplyDeleteAnwar Ibrahim tidak sahaja dipercayai untuk menangani politik Sabah, tetapi juga WANG dan PERUNTUKAN yang sangat besar, termasuklah juga WANG PARTI.
ReplyDeleteJusteru tidaklah menghairankan bagaimana Anwar sekarang umpama berada di atas bara api.
ReplyDeleteDia kelihatan tercungap-cungap dengan siasatan yang sedang dijalankan, sehinggakan tidak mampu menunggu lebih lama untuk membuka mulut bagi melindungi dirinya.
ReplyDeleteDan bukan dengan mulutnya sahaja, dia turut menggunakan Azmin Ali bagi tujuan tersebut.
ReplyDeleteMaka, tidak hairanlah mengapa Azmin Ali melalak kuat demi melindungi kekasihnya itu.
ReplyDeleteSedangkan siasatan RCI semakin lama, semakin mengarah kepada Anwar Ibrahim.
ReplyDeleteBerbanding Mahathir, Anwar langsung tidak berani tampil untuk memberikan keterangan sebaliknya cuba menjadikan dirinya halimunan dan seolah-olah dia langsung tidak terlibat dalam isu berkenaan.
ReplyDeleteExposures after exposures were reported at the most recent hearing of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the Illegal Immigrants in Sabah. Does all these look as at it has been fabricated? No, not at all. The scandal in Sabah was real.
ReplyDeleteSo does the existence of over more than half a million of illegal immigrants from Indonesia and the Philippines who are now residing permanently in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteAsides, they were also given express citizenship status and granted voting rights when most of the Sabah bumiputras particularly the Kadazan Dusuns, Muruts, Bajaus, Dumpas, Orang Sungai, Rungus and many more in the rural areas are still not able to become voters until today despite their status as real Sabahans and the fact that they are Malaysians.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows that the scandal, better known as Project IC really exist in Sabah. But, till today, there are still no one who has direct knowledge into this scandal has ever dare to step forward to tell all for fear that their lives and families would be threatened. Only a handful of politicians who are willing speak up but lack of concrete evidence or any documentary support.
ReplyDeleteThe efforts of the RCI and its hearing has been positive, but still lack of direct witnesses and insufficient documentations to really implicate those on top there who are the real culprits which had almost rid Sabah from the Sabahans.
ReplyDeleteState BN leaders are often troubled with internal factional fightings and bickering, so does the state Pakatan Rakyat leaders, what about the other Sabah-based parties, SAPP or STAR, yes, they too had sounded their concerns and dissatisfaction on the BN rulers, but what else they could do? Both SAPP and STAR too are currently pre-occupied with factional competition inside their parties.

ReplyDeleteParti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) vice president Datuk Herbert T Lagadan has also questioned opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s silence over the evidence presented to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah.
ReplyDelete“Why has Anwar been silent on the illegal immigrants issue and the Royal Commission of Inquiry’s proceedings so far? Is there anything he is afraid of?” Herbert asked.
ReplyDeleteThe Kadamaian assemblyman also said that he supported Sabah Umno deputy liaison chief Datuk Seri Salleh Said’s call to get Anwar to testify in the on-going Royal Commission of Inquiry hearing.
ReplyDelete“Being the Deputy PM and chief director of election operation in Sabah in 1994, he (Anwar) may have given instructions relating to phantom voters. To be fair to the real and true people of Sabah, both Anwar and former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir should be called to testify,” he opined.
ReplyDeleteAll Sabahans should thank Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for setting up the Royal Commission of Inquiry, he said, adding: “Now we can see the ray of hope that there will be a solution on the problem that has plagued us for more than four decades.
ReplyDelete“I, for one, am looking forward to the day when the illegal immigrant problem in Sabah is fully solved,” Herbert said.
ReplyDeleteTwo days ago, Salleh challenged opposition leader Anwar to tell the truth about the illegal immigrants to the RCI tasked with looking into the long-standing problem in the state.
ReplyDeleteHe asserted that Anwar was duty-bound to do so as he was Deputy Prime Minister at that particular period, adding that “he was a powerful man and knew what was going on in Sabah”.
“Don’t be a hypocrite, perhaps with the inside knowledge, Anwar can help shed some light … so tell the truth to the RCI. He must not play politics. At least (Datuk Seri) Najib (Tun Razak), our Prime Minister is prepared to seek the truth and approved the formation of RCI to identify the roots of the problem.
ReplyDelete“We should not come to a conclusion and blame certain parties just because of statements by few ex-ISA (Internal Security Act) detainees. We should let RCI complete its works … What we want is a permanent solution,” he said after attending a meet-the-people session at SK Sembirai near here on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteIn this respect, Salleh, who is also State Legislative Assembly Speaker, said the people should praise and support Najib for his bold move to form the RCI.
ReplyDelete“Once RCI completes its task then the government will study and act on it accordingly to resolve the matter once and for all.
Those who were qualified and obtained their citizenship through proper procedure should not be punished and those who obtained it through illegal or dubious means must have their citizenship revoked. That should be the way,” he said.
ReplyDeleteExpressing confidence that the illegal immigrants’ problem would be resolved by the government under Najib, Salleh said genuine Sabahans must be patient to wait for a permanent solution.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata dakwaan bahawa kerajaan telah mengeluarkan kad pengenalan biru dan sijil kelahiran kepada PTI di Sabah adalah secara terang-terangan memfitnah pemimpin BN
ReplyDeletekadang2 ada pihak yang sengaja memburukkan kerajaan dengan berkata macam-macam.
DeleteFormer Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said his administration never issued any directive to issue Malaysian citizenship and Identity Cards (ICs) to foreigners who were not eligible or had just entered the country.
ReplyDelete---> beliau telahpun memberi keterangannya di sini
His keterangan is worth nothing. Why would I believe anything he says? His underlings already sold him out. Also, after what he did to Anwar, he has lost all respect and trust. He is THE king of fitnah.
DeleteFor the record, I don't care much for Anwar, but what happened to him was cruel and inhumane, especially when the PM was the one who masterminded the whole thing.
Deletelagipun kata beliau, ia bukanlah dasar kerajaan untuk mengeluarkan kewarganegaraan dan IC biru kepada warga asing dan pendatang yang tidak memenuhi kelayakan.
ReplyDeleteisu pati ini harus diselesaikan agar tidak terus berpanjangan.
Delete"Many had stayed here for so long and had mastered Bahasa, as well as they have been loyal to the government and this country. So, we give them Malaysian citizenships provided they have fulfilled the required criteria."
ReplyDeletewalau bagaimanapun, semoga penubuhan RCI setidak-tidaknya dapat menggurangkan masalah PTI di Sabah
ReplyDeleteya, semoga masalah pati akan berjaya diselesaikan dengan adanya RCI.
DeleteI hope everyone involved will be stripped of their wealth and sent to prison.
Deletemenjadi harapan semua pihak agar isu yang berlaku akan dapat diselesaikan melalui RCI.
ReplyDeleteKerajaan tidak pernah mengeluarkan arahan kepada mana-mana pihak untuk memberikan kad pengenalan (IC) atau kewarganegaraan kepada pendatang asing yang tidak layak di Sabah, kata bekas perdana menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
ReplyDeleteJusteru, beliau menegaskan rakyat Sabah tidak boleh mempersalahkan kerajaan semasa pentadbirannya kerana penyelewengan seumpama itu dilakukan oleh pihak tertentu untuk kepentingan diri..
ReplyDeleteSaya sedar isu (Projek IC) ini jadi perhatian rakyat Sabah. Saya ada diberitahu ada yang tak layak...baru sampai hari ini, dah dapat IC.
ReplyDeleteIni bukan arahan kita, bukan arahan kerajaan...ini adalah penyelewengan pegawai di tempat itu kerana kepentingan lain,"
ReplyDeleteBeliau memperjelaskan bahawa ramai orang yang bukan berasal dari negara ini diberi hak kerakyatan kerana mereka telah tinggal lama di negara ini serta menguasai bahasa kebangsaan.
ReplyDeleteRamai daripada kita berasal dari negara lain, misalnya dari China, Arab dan India dan kesemua mereka duduk lama di sini dan setia kepada negara ini. Kita beri kerakyatan kalau mereka menepati syarat selepas proses ujian," katanya.
ReplyDeleteThe Election Commission (EC) said it was "unfortunate" that the 13th general election will be held before the completion of the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah as it can only clean the electoral rolls after the end of the inquiry.
ReplyDelete"We have the power under the Registration of Electors Regulations (to clean the electoral roll) if it (irregularity) is proven in a court of law, and the RCI is something like a court, then of course we would act accordingly.
ReplyDelete"So if the election comes before the conclusion of the RCI, it is just unfortunate, even if we have whatever number of dubious voters," said the EC deputy chief Wan Ahmad Wan Omar during a briefing at the Foreign Correspondents Club Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.
ReplyDeleteWan Ahmad was responding to a question on whether the EC is checking the electoral rolls for dubious voters based on the testimonies given by witnesses at the RCI hearing.

"The moment we got information (on what had) transpired at the RCI hearing, obviously we were interested to know, because our job is to check who are the dubious voters.
ReplyDelete"But you must remember, today a person says something, another day there will be witnesses saying different things," he explained.
ReplyDeleteHe stressed that it is too early to pass judgement on the findings of the RCI so far as he was informed that only 30 percent of the over 250 witnesses had testified at the hearing.
ReplyDeleteThe EC also sent their representatives to observe the hearing and collect information for the purpose of counter-checking the electoral roll, Wan Ahmad added.
It was announced last Wednesday that the tenure of the RCI will be extended by six months to September. It was earlier required to complete its probe by today, March 21.

ReplyDeleteDAP claimed that there were over 60,000 dubious voters from the 130,459 "problematic" old identity card (IC) numbers revealed during the RCI hearing on Jan 16, appearing in the electoral roll for Sabah in the first quarter of 2012.
The list was revealed by an assistant head of the Sabah and Sarawak National Registration Department (NRD) IC division. The records of the owners of these ICs were either incomplete or cancelled.
ReplyDeleteDuring the briefing, Wan Ahmad also assured journalists that key information pertaining to the election will be updated on the EC's special general election website as soon as it is confirmed.
ReplyDeleteHe expected that the full candidate list to be published on the website on nomination day as early as 11am, while the first balloting results from constituencies will be published before 8pm on polling day.
ReplyDeleteHe was confident that with the improvement of the EC's communications network and the website, Malaysians will know which coalition has obtained the majority to form the next federal government before midnight
