KOTA KINABALU - Tamparuli assemblyman Datuk Seri Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing became the second politician to suggest to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah that identity cards (IC) be recalled and reissued.
“After the ICs are taken back (by National Registration Department), people need to re-apply for an IC by using their birth certificates which can prove whether or not they are Sabah natives,” Bumburing (photo) said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Tuaran member of Parliament Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau told the inquiry that the approach could help identify those who were genuine Malaysian citizens.
When asked by counsel Datuk John Sikayun, who is holding a watching brief for the Sabah Law Association, if the suggestion would result in certain consequences such as social implications and amendments to existing laws, Bumburing said it was possible, but there was never a single approach to effectively deal with the increased presence of illegal immigrants in the state.
When asked by conducting officer Manoj Kurup why there were illegal issuances of ICs in Sabah, Bumburing believed it was to change the demographic pattern of voters.
“If we ask the people to re-apply for an IC, we will be able to determine when it (illegal issuance of ICs) started,” he said.
The inquiry is led by former chief judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong.
Apart from Chin, who is former Kuala Lumpur police chief, other members of the five-men panel are former University Malaysia Sabah vice chancellor Datuk Dr Kamaruzzaman Ampon, 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.

ReplyDeleteWhy be involved in the pain of having this and that "Royal Commission" and the national past time of making "police reports"?
"Malaysia" is a free association and the Malayan rulers agree by claiming that we had freely agreed to form Malaysia.
So if that is the case then we can freely separate from Malaya. We can overnight free ourselves of the rubbish politics that Malaysia symbolises!
Lord Lansdowne who chaired the drafting of the Malaysia agreement said Sabah Sarawak has an "intrinsic right to freely secede at will".
Well Singapore left when to their regret (even LKY who conned Donald Stephens not to oppose Malaysia) they found out early they were not to be "equal partners".
The Tunku and his gang wanted to be the top dog and the other 3 countries could be running dogs.
Every one should have woken up when Brunei rejected KL demands to control Brunei oil. This is call "protection money". The Malayans were selling Malaysia as a protection racket which they said would protect Sabah and Sarawak from foreign invasion. In return they stole all our oil and threw back the crumbs of "5% oil royalty". They keep Petronas as a "secret organization" so we cannot even find out the real figures of their oil plunder.
Are there any real Sabahans sitting on the Board of Petronas?
50 years of money was thrown down the drain when UMNO could not even prevent the Sulu invasion.
They thought it was only their cousins coming over for coffee which they have been doing for some 40 years since UMNO started to re-engineer Sabah population.
To cover up their criminal negligence they killed a few dozen misled people they conveniently dismissed as "terrorists" and then installed ESSCOM and claimed that they were protecting Sabah.
The real purpose of ESSCOM is to prepare for and prevent restive Sabahans from rising up to overthrow the Malayan imperialist domination of Sabah.
Coming back to leaving Malaysia. When Singapore left, the Malayans locked the doors and chained Sabah and Sarawak as their milking cows and sucked out their wealth for 50 years.
Those who helped to reduce their 2 countries to dire straits are the traitors which every patriot calls them.
So citizens you can empower each other by voting on the Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) Petition page as a positive expression of your opposition to being ruled by a foreign country.
On Black 16 September you can also wear black arm bands to mourn the loss of our independence and our country.
