RCI in Sabah: ‘It won’t happen’

By Queville To

Sabahans can forget the idea of ever seeing a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the illegal immigrants.

KOTA KINABALU: A Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the perennial issue of illegal immigrants and related matters is not going to happen no matter how much the issue is flogged, said opposition Sabah Progressive Peoples Party (SAPP)

As such Sabahans should not bother holding their breaths, hoping for a ‘miracle’, said SAPP in a statement.

Doubtful that the federal government would ever go for a RCI, SAPP information chief Chong Pit Fah said the Putrajaya’s silence on the issue was a clear indication that it is a matter they are unwilling or cannot confront.

Chong claimed that the government is worried that setting up a RCI would backfire on them and some uncomfortable truths will be exposed.

He pointed out that while the various Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties had claimed that the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had given the nod for the RCI to be set up, nothing more was heard of it.

“PBS, UPKO and LDP were left red faced when Najib didn’t make any announcement about the matter during his recent visit to Sabah.

“The federal government is attempting to sweep the decade long issue under the carpet,” he said, adding that he agrees with Sabah PKR leader Dr Chong Eng Leong that there are tens of thousands of unqualified voters in Sabah’s electoral rolls.

The RCI, if set up, would have to investigate and explain the so called ‘Project IC’ where foreigners and illegal immigrants were given MyKads and registered as voters and how they became members of BN component parties.

  1. WOULD MALAYA INVESTIGATE ITS DISENFRANCHISING OF SABAHANS VOTERS WITH MASS IMPORTED INSTANT MYKAD VOTERS?

    NO!

    (We knew the answer but it is good to highlight the dirty deeds and wrongdoings of the UMNO colonialist rulers!)

    1. We are still waiting for the announcement. There should be RCI formation because it is compulsory for Sabahans to know the truth.

      This issue was voices out vocally not only by our KDM leaders, but also the ruling status quo of our state.

      But since there is still the matter of the term of reference that needs to be resolved, Najib did not made the announcement.

      Once the term of reference is resolved, I'm confident Najib will make the announcement.

    2. Their answer will be, "still in discussion". Just don't delay this matter for too long. Otherwise people will doubt the sincerity to investigate the problem.

      But the Term of reference for this matter is still being finalized. Hence the delay of the announcement.

    1. They need to come up with better term of reference on how to conduct the RCI.

  5. If RCI setup in Sabah won’t ever happen or take place, then how are they going to investigate the issues concerning illegal immigrants in Sabah?

    2. Ignored and swept under the carpet. BN Umno will say later Project IC actually does not exist.

    3. Just wait the announcement from PM.

    1. We can't assume that RCI will not be set up. Best to wait for PM to announce his decision.

  8. Kena ada pelan tindakan yang efektif untuk menyiasat masalah projek ic dan PATI di negeri ini. Bukan sembarangan saja tubuhkan RCI.

  9. pembangkang hnya tau buat bising pasal RCI, tapi mereka tak ada usaha pun nak tubuhkan RCI, UPKO-BN juga yang bersusah payah pergi menemui PM untuk mendapatkan persetujuan RCI dan akhirnya PM setuju dgn penubuhannya. itu pun pembkangkang masih menafikannya lagi. walaupun RCI belum lagi diumumkan, tapi ia kini dalam perbincangan dalam menetapkan terma rujukan, selepas ia ditetapkan, RCI pasti akan ditubuhkan, ini adalah hasil usaha kerajaan BN Sabah juga.

    1. pembangkang hanya cuba menjuarai isu RCI saja untuk meraih sokongan menjelang pru13..

  10. pembangkang pasti mengharapkan RCi tidak ditubuhkan agar mereka boleh memainkan isu ini. jika RCI ditubuhkan pasti pembangkang akan timbulkan isu baru sebab itu mmg sikap pembangkang.

  14. Apa yang kita telah sedia maklum yang mana Kerajaan Pusat sedang mengkaji sebaiknya mengenai RCI sebelum dilaksanakan. Ini bagi keberkesanan dalam penubuhannya nanti.
