SAPP and Star: Release findings of RCI!

Chia has called for the early release of the outcome of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah. The RCI into the illegal immigrants was completed in September last year and is yet to release its findings.

Melanie Chia, who was former Luyang assemblywoman and also SAPP women chief, said the RCI findings was pertinent as the Sabah Police Chief Hamza Taib had reportedly said that last Wednesday’s abduction of two foreign national was an “inside” job. She asserted that the long term solution to peace and security in Sabah is highly dependent on the outcome on the RCI.

“As the call by the Chief Minister for all efforts to be directed to resolve the abduction which happened on Wednesday, this effort should include the disclosure of the RCI findings and the commitment to long term peace and security issue in Sabah,” she said.

She noted that SAPP had since the 1990s been calling the government to resolve the illegal immigrants problem in Sabah, which has been dubbed as the Mother of All Threats for Sabah.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SABAH RCI ON ILLEGALS?

Sabah opposition lawmakers today demanded that Putrajaya make public the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on illegal immigrants in the state that was submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong two months ago.

They said that the restructuring of the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscomm), as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak this morning, was not enough without a solution to the problem of illegal immigrants in the state.

"We want Najib to make known the content of the RCI report to the public. We have been waiting for two months," Bingkor assemblyman Jeffrey Kitingan told The Malaysian Insider.

Kitingan, who is also Sabah Star party chief, said the RCI would be meaningless without action and a solution to the "Project IC" problem.

He said Naib's announcement today to restructure Esscomm would also be futile if the influx of illegals was not addressed.
