Have another RCI to review RCI IIS

Have another RCI to review RCI IIS

I have written three editions of EPIC of Sabah where EPIC means Extra People Identity Cards in 2002, 2004, 2005 with great fervent concern that solution could be found with a brief booklet titled “Introduction to TSUNAMI  of illegals & illegalities in Sabah” in 2007.

Today, after an almost two decades, everything this “tsunami” has very ugly manifestations and it seems to be endless in our midst despite the first ever Royal Commission Inquiry (RCI) held in 2012/2013 after calling for it in decades earlier. So how is the RCI on illegal Immigration Sabah (RCI IIS) treating us in Sabah and the nation.

Our expectation of RCI IIS is deeply hurt and much disappointment after 5 years thereof.

Are we not in deep trouble when we read such recent headlines amongst many like “Woman fined RM25,000 for allowing five illegals in her premises (February 3, 2018), Korean restaurateur fined RM15,000 for hiring illegal (February 3, 2018)? There is another frightening fairly detailed article in New Strait Times titled “[Exclusive] Terrorists get fake IDs for RM350” (February 12, 2018) where we face HORROR in tsunami of illegals and illegalities.

Now everything about this tsunami and its impact appears miserably a gone case for the nation without any solution in sight with the present Government.

Yet recently, in several news items, we have “mixed marriage kids face citizenship woes” (DE 31/1/2018), “Families’ citizenship nightmare over” (DE 21/2/2018), and an official letter from the office of the Sabah Speaker dated 23February, 2018 addressed to the DPM cum Home Minister over PTI for documentation. In the other two news items in this paragraph, references were also made to the DPM cum HM.

Have we discarded the Constitution as far as citizenship is concerned when Home Minister is now pursued over illegals and illegalities to regularise what RCI IIS has failed to address?  There was also a speculation and allegation that HM has been dealing with PTIs from Bangladesh.  Is that true? So where are we heading to?

The other impact of this tsunami is that Kadazan Dusun Murut (KDM) once since 1960 were in substantial majority in Sabah but now the demographic trend since Project IC as denied in RCI IIS has reduced/diluted their status so much so KDM are now grabbing with 22 State seats out of 60/ or 73 (2018) as per news item “22-strong KDM power bloc mooted” (DE 21/2/2018). So the local natives are now  overrun  or “ethnic cleansed” to face a very bleak future or little bargaining power for the welfare of the genuine local people unless a reversal process is judiciously carried out in accordance to RCI IIS .

Given the adverse impasse of the RCI IIS, can we have another RCI to review what had been the set back of RCI IIS just before the GE13 ? The ‘edited’ Report of RCI IIS was delayed released on 3 Dec 2014). We need to resolve this tsunami no matter how .
