University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) senior lecturer of social sciences Wan Shabaruddin Wan Hassan said a study done from 2002 till 2005 on impacts on security due to the presence of illegal immigrants in Sabah found those immigrants, especially from southern Philippines, preferred to settle at water villages as was the norm in their native country.
“In our observation, water villages are seen as dangerous as these villages have become nests for illegal activities, including arms smuggling which police say was not unusual.
“During our visit to a water village in Lahad Datu, we also came across circulation of counterfeit money in Malaysian Ringgit which was widely used there,” he said.
Wan Shabaruddin, who teaches foreign policies, said petty crimes such as thievery was common at the water villages as in the southern Philippines, it was believed anything one owned also belonged to another.
He suggested that the government monitor and register residents at all water villages rather than tearing the villages down as Malaysian citizens also resided there.
The inquiry is led by former chief judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong. Also on the panel are former UMS vice chancellor Datuk Dr Kamaruzzaman Ampon, former Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Henry Chin Poy Wu, former Sabah state secretary Datuk KY Mustapha and former deputy chief minister Tan Sri Herman J Luping, who is also former state attorney-general.
The inquiry continues today.
HOT BED OF SUBVERSIVES CREATED BY UMNO!
ReplyDeleteIt DOES NOT take a uni study to confirm the illegals invasion and takeover threat to Sabah Sovereignty was created by the corrupted Malayan UMNO.
The counterfeit money signifies the presence of an independent government in the water villages forming an independent state in Sabah waters.
So thanks to UMNO again who have pig shit for brains Sabah has been thoroughly ruined!
