Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) is sceptical with Sabah Umno's support to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate the issuance of MyKad to foreigners through dubious means.
Vice President Jaafar Haji Ismail said Sabah Umno was only making its stand due to pressure after all the other Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties and opposition parties have made their stand on the issue.
Furthermore, he said Sabah Umno Information Chief, Datuk Sapawi Ahmad came out with a vague statement saying that it was up to the Federal to decide.
"There was no commitment or a clear indication that Sabah Umno really wants the RCI to be set up. If Umno is really concerned and as the backbone of Sabah BN it should have been the first to call for the RCI.
"Sabah Umno representatives should have raised the issue at the party's recent general assembly but none did so," he said in a statement here Sunday.
On the proposal by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Penampang chief, Darell Leiking for the State Assembly to convene and discuss to call for the setting up of the RCI, he said SAPP had tried to move a motion to this effect in the last sitting but was rejected by the Speaker saying it was under the Federal jurisdiction.
Jaafar (right) claimed the Federal Government was reluctant to establish the RCI because many Umno leaders and government agencies were involved in the 'Project IC' as published in books such as by MD Mutalib, which had never been challenged by anybody.
It is expected that the BN would include the RCI as among its election manifesto in order to quell the claims for the loss of rights and sovereignty of the state, he said.
The BN government can called for the RCI quickly like in Teo Beng Hock's case and the lawyer Lingam, both concerning individual but it cannot call for an RCI to investigate issues that involve the rights and sovereignty of the people of Sabah, he said.
"I think it is time that the people of Sabah evaluate the sincerity of the Sabah BN government in resolving this issue. If the Federal government did not establish the RCI before the 13th General Election then it is clear that something is being concealed by the BN government," he said.
In that case, I'm sure many parties are using the RCI to gain votes as well.
ReplyDeleteThen I should doubt the opposition as well.
DeleteNevertheless, it is hoped that the Federal will set up the RCI in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteApa pun kita tunggu dan lihat saja la.
DeleteIt is sad that RCI has become a political agenda for the politician to gain political mileage... should look at it on the perspective of the Rakyat
ReplyDeleteYeah so sad.
Deleteyang penting sokongan penuh harus diberikan..
ReplyDeleteSokongan penuh terhadap kerajaan memang penting.
Deletesokongan dan tuntutan RCI tidak harus dipolitikkan kerana tidak menguntungkan sabah..seharusnya semua bekerjasama untuk mendesak kerajaan persekutuan patuh kepada tuntutan ini..kalau masing2 mahu jadi hero, pasti perjuangan ini akan sia-sia..
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't be politicized for personal use.
Deletesekarang yang penting adalah penubuhan RCI sebelum pru13..kepentingan politik perlu diketepikan dahulu dan mencari persepakatan antara pemimpin sabah..dasar pecah dan perintah harus ditembusi..
ReplyDeleteNo matter which party support the RCI, bottom line is all of them want to gain voters'vote.
ReplyDeleteAll parties regardless their background should cooperate to make this RCI a success.
ReplyDeleteNot only UMNO, even SAPP sincerity is doubtful.
ReplyDeleteI don't care whether you all are sincere, most important RCI is set up. nuff said.
ReplyDeleteAll leaders should unite regardless from which side they are to get this RCI set up in sabah.
ReplyDeleteI do not doubt SAPP's sincerity..in fact, it is most party fighting for Sabah.
ReplyDeleteDon't let the RCI become a political tool, this is an important issue for the Sabahans.
ReplyDeleteWhat we need is the RCI to be set up to investigate the truth behind the Project IC.
ReplyDeleteyang penting umno dan banyak pihak sudah pun menyokong RCI agar ditubuhkan.
ReplyDeletesemua harus memberikan komitmen yang tinggi agar masalah pati akan dapat di selesaikan.
ReplyDeletediharap RCI akan ditubuhkan secepat mungkin sebelum pru13..
ReplyDeleteKalau semua benda dipolitikkan, saya sendiri pun tidak tahu apa yang akan jadi nanti.
ReplyDeleteKetepikan dulu pegangan politik, fokus pada penyelesaian masalah pati maka semuanya pasti lebih mudah.
ReplyDeleteUMNO adalah parti untuk Pendatang Haram.
ReplyDeleteNo UMNO = No PTI.
Lihat saja Sarawak.
Ini semua adalah fakta. Hanya pengkhianat macam paquin ini suka betul buat fitnah.
Namun jika RCI dipolitikkan utk kepentingan sendiri konpom sampai bila-bila pun hal ni takkan pandai selesai. Makin teruk ada lah :(
ReplyDeleteWahai Anon, macam mana ko tahu saya ni pengkhianat??? Ada bukti ka? Kesian, belum apa2 dah tuduh orang...hhmmm....
ReplyDeleteTapi takpalah, masing-masing ada hak nak komen apa kan, so its ok la:)
ReplyDeleteSaya yakin matlamat Sabahan sama mahukan masalah pati yang sudah jadi 'kanser' ni disembuhkan. Apapun kaedah yang diusulkan terutamanya RCI, lakukanlah mana tahu berkesan:)
Siapa yang ikhlas, siapa yang tidak, rakyat akan menentukannya.
ReplyDeleteRCI disokong oleh semua Sabahan, jadi ia perlu di tubuhkan.
ReplyDeleteRCI perlu untuk selesaikan masalah2 di Sabah yang makin menjadi-jadi terutama isu PATI.
ReplyDeletepaquin, kamu sokong umno supaya umno meneruskan kerja dosa mereka kasih masuk PENDATANG HARAM untuk membanjiri Sabah bukan kah kamu pengkhianat kepada orang Sabah? Tepuk dada tanya selera.
ReplyDeleteBerani buat berani tanggung macam jantan.
bagus umno tidak payah bersuara atau menyokong penubuhan RCI kan?? sebab, samada sokong atau berdiam diri, sama juga hasilnya.. atau mungkin ada pihak yang tidak mahu parti lain jadi hero jika RCI benar2 ditubuhkan??
ReplyDeletedaripada sapp sibuk mempertikaikan pendirian pihak lain, baik kumpulkan lebih banyak suara bagi mewujudkan satu gelombang desakan yang lebih hebat untuk kerajaan persekutuan..
ReplyDeleteNo guessing game,sort out the the issue and it is for the benefit of everyone in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteLebih baik semua Parti bersatu hati untuk menangani masalah Pati ini..
ReplyDeleteadakah parti politik yang tidak main wayang kulit? kalau RCI dapat kelulusan parlimen, boleh la dilaksanakan secepat mungkin. sejauh mana keikhlasan SAPP pun belum dapat diukur lagi.
ReplyDeletememang wajar RCI ditubuhkan sekarang kerana negeri Sabah dan rakyat tulen
ReplyDeletenegeri ini perlu dilindungi hak mereka demi masa depan anak bangsa.
harap penubuhan RCI ini tidak diperlengah-lengahkan lagi
ReplyDeleteRakyat Sabah tulen perlu bersatu untuk melindungi kepentingan bersama.
ReplyDeletedan semoga kerajaan bersetuju untuk menubuhkan RCI secepat mungkin, dan membekukan dulu perlaksanaan IC baru
ReplyDeletesudah sekian lama rakyat menggesa Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk memberikan perhatian serius kerana isu PATI ini sudah semakin meruncing.
ReplyDeleteImportant support must be provided.
ReplyDeleteLet the people decide.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the case may be let it be for the benefit of everyone in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteGenuine need is important in order to unite the people of Sabah and to protect their respective common interests.
ReplyDeleteThe federal government should give serious attention to this issue.
ReplyDeleteBiar rakyat yang menentukannya.
