PBS now echoing SAPP's call for RCI

PBS wants RCI on Illegals, only friendly request, not ultimatum

Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Joseph Pairin Kitingan has called on the federal government to establish a royal commission of inquiry on illegal immigrants in Sabah next year as a sign of its commitment towards resolving the issue.

He said it was time the government took the matter seriously as requests on the issue had been made a while back.

"This is only a guideline but needs to be stressed on. Focus should be given on forming the commission to give assurance to Malaysians in Sabah.

Pairin can’t solve illegals problem with his committee

It has been said that we shouldn’t have too many ambitions; we might achieve them! And Tan Sri Pairin’s appointment as head of the Sabah Committee on illegal immigrants is certainly case in which he got more than what he asked for. He had given the government until 2012 to solve the illegals problem, and now, as if to oversatisfy him, the government has given him the whip and said, “Now, it’s all yours.”

Which is not exactly a course for celebration, because the job he is given is impossible to do! The task at hand is a huge one, like a monster which had grown for 40 years, and he is expected to kill it within a few months. But can he? He might be a deputy chief minister, but how much can the committee do to solve the illegals problem? We know that the state had several committees already since the last few decades formed under the State Security Committee which was headed by the Chief Minister. Pairin as a former head of the State Security Committee must know very well that it is a very ineffective committee.

PBS misleading the people again?

Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Secretary-General Datuk Richard Yong We Kong told PBS to stop making excuses, finger-pointing and no more ugly rhetoric all intended to mislead the general public when it comes to the issue of illegal immigrants,

"PBS must stand up to their duty and obligation to resolve the Sabah problems particularly the illegal immigrants (PTI).

PBS' stand on Sultan of Sulu is not clear
