Sabah Umno's sincerity doubtful

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.

Racial tension if RCI call denied, says SAPP

KOTA KINABALU: Racial tension may flare up in Sabah if the people's call for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants and the Project IC is turned down by the government, said the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).

Its Adviser Datuk Mohd Noor Mansur said contrary to what certain people believe the likelihood of a racial tension in Sabah would be greater if the government continues to ignore this matter (setting up of RCI) because "the natives in Sabah are already not very happy with it (the huge presence of illegal immigrants in the State)."

SAPP demands for establishment of RCI on illegals before GE13

KOTA KINABALU, Dec 7, 2011: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has called for the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the perennial issues of illegal immigrants and ‘Project IC’, before the 13th General Elections.

Urging this was its Deputy President cum MP for Seppangar, Datuk Eric Majimbun, stressing that such a move is crucial towards cleaning up of the much-tainted electoral rolls, in line with the Government’s pledge for electoral reforms.

Chong sidestepping key issue on phantom voters

Dr. Chong Eng Leong is side stepping the key issue of phantom voters and illegal immigrants by repeatedly referring to Likas, Likas, Likas and only Likas. He does not acknowledge that it was UMNO operatives, some of whom are his close buddies, who have been behind the phantom voters issue.

Just like the Saham Amanah Sabah issue, there is no closure and no end to it because the real culprits are not identified by the critics like Dr. Yee Moh Chai and other PBS leaders. They know that UMNO is the cause of the SAS and phantom voters issue but still incessantly point their fingers at the wrong direction, towards me, because they want to protect their political master, UMNO, and to protect their positions in government.

Why No Royal Commission of Inquiry on Illegals?

Kota Kinabalu, Friday, 7 January 2011: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) President, Datuk Yong Teck Lee, said the Prime Minister should also consider a Royal Commission of Inquiry on illegal immigration in Sabah.

"The Prime Minister has today announced the setting up of a Royal Commission to investigate the Teoh Beng Hock case in view of the inconclusive verdict of the coroner after the inquest.

Solve illegal immigrants problem before election?

Datuk Wilfred Bumburing in his bold statement 'pressuring' the federal government to solve the illegal immigrants issue and dubious citizenship before the election. He admitted the federal scam has become an open secret and talk among the local people in Sabah.

This has in fact been voiced out by SAPP before when they were still in BN and memorandum passed to the then Prime Minister Tun Badawi but unfortunately was just brushed aside and zero action taken.

BN will do anything to retain power...Projek IC

This is a good point I got from Daniel John...

"But come to think of it, who is worse in being willing to do anything for power? Who are really those destroying the nation for their own selfish ends? Who are those tripling the costs of projects awarded through negotiated tenders behind closed doors, and so sucking the nation of its resources?

Illegal immigrants problem not a priority to BN

Kota Kinabalu, Aug 5, 2010: SAPP Youth warns PBS not to think the public ignorant or gullible so as to believe the BN political mind games.

"Despite the bravado statement by PBS Secretary General, Henrynus Amin, the fact remains that BN is perceived by the public to still have huge vested interest in the continued illegal immigrant presence in the State," Youth Leader Edward Dagul said.

BN no sincerity on illegal immigrants problem

Kota Kinabalu, July 22, 2010: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Secretary-General Datuk Richard Yong We Kong today said the BN government which ruled Sabah for the last 16 years had all along shown no sincerity in helping Sabah resolve the illegal immigrants problem.

He said this when commenting on the Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin who said, "perhaps, this was the first time the issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah being looked at in holistic manner..." therefore suggesting that the Federal Government had never look at this problem seriously before.

"In fact the Federal and State Government had got all the information and data concerning the issues. As far back as during PBS's time as state government an amnesty exercise had been carried out and data on the immigrants had been collected.

"During BN regularization exercise the National Security Council has had the Indonesian Consulate setting up offices in various parts of Sabah to help process documents for the Indonesian to facilitate them in getting work permits. At the time the consulate officers from the Philippines Embassy were posted to Sabah to process documents for their citizens. The National Security Council help implemented the exercise and is having all the documents and data with them.

Sabah has One Third population Foreigners! Revisited

Where in the world and of all countries, they got such a huge transient population!

It is estimated that foreigners now constitute about one-third of State population!

It is not difficult to imagine the burden the state and its people have to shoulder in terms of social economy, security and political risks.

The seriousness of the matter is so immense that it is surprise that is has slipped the attention of the planners of the 10th Malaysia Plan.

SAPP urge the Federal government to look into this issue seriously and come out with short and long term solutions towards illegal immigrant problem in this 10th Plan.

JK said 25 June 2010 that....an equivalent pool of the vulnerable in Sabah, alleged Jeffrey, are the illegal immigrants who have been given MyKads and placed on the electoral rolls to vote for Sabah Umno.

These voters are kept on a tight leash by the powers-that-be, he adds, "as they are not allowed to even travel outside the state. They would be stopped at the airport if they tried to leave".

No Mykads issued to illegals?

What does NRD Public Relations Officer, Jainisah Mohd Noor know! (Is he a local Sabahan???) ....go ask what is Project IC...go ask Datuk Harris and Tun Dr M...both have never spoken up on this! If they dare...swear on the Quran.

It is an open secret and everyone in Sabah knows that Mykads are given to holders of Project IC...H05XXXXX . Denials will create more suspicions of a cover-up. Please look up in the sky and ask yourself - ARE YOU TELLING THE TRUTH?

Chua: Seriousness of case warrants a royal commission

Tawau, Sep 10, 2009: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Vice President and Member of Parliament for Tawau, Datuk Chua Soon Bui, said it was very serious matter concerning the recent relevation in New Sabah Times on 5th Sept. 2009 and Chinese dailies on 6th Sept. 2009 regarding the possibility of granting MyKad applications to about 200 illegal immigrants from Kalabakan Tengah 1 from 10 -12 August 2009.

Detained 'Indian national' in Sabah says he's Malaysian

Take action against anti-Malaysia elements

Recent release without charge of the persons who burned the Sabah flags sends a very dangerous message to many people in Sabah, particularly in the East Coast, that such treasonable actions are tolerated.

GREEN CARD A.K.A. PROJEK IC II

On Nov 2, 2008, Home Minister,Syed Hamid Albar announced that the National Registration Department (NRD) will be re-issuing green cards, which was stopped in 2004, for residents whose citizenship status were in doubt.

This has resulted in thousands of "stateless" people thronged the National Registration Department (NRD) offices at the Federal administration building kota Kinabalu and in Tawau, 17 November 2008, after the Department announced it will start re-issuing the green MyKad.

In Tawau, the number was estimated at several thousand. Police also had to be called in for crowd control.

Can you imagine seeing another round "registration" or "legalizing Illegals", ...THE CONTINUATION OF "PROJEK IC" EPISODE II

Many fraudulent cases in MyKad applications

PUTRAJAYA: Many of the cases alleging delays in the application for citizenship, MyKad or passports are actually fraudulent.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said in these cases, the applicants were foreign nationals who had sneaked into the country illegally and threw away their documents.

“They then claimed to be Malaysians. The National Registration and Immigration Departments have to be careful when processing their applications.

Let's just ask the Home Minister whether he knew there were hundreds of thousands who got MyKad in Sabah through illegal means! And what is he going to do about these???

Put NRD under Sabah Government!

Illegals gain citizenship; Sabahans lose theirs'
What had happened to 78-year-old Yong Lee Hua @ Piang Lin, a Sino-Kadazan, being replaced with a PR instead of MyKad by the NRD when she claimed her IC after it was reported lost.

"She asked the officer why it was red and the lady officer said for senior citizens who lost their IC, the department normally replaced them with red ICs?"

So she will be deprived of her citizenship and the right to vote. What is happening here?

Do you think we need to revamp the whole of NRD, Immigration in Sabah. To do it is by changing the Malaysian Government! Yong: Denial breach of agreement...and MP Eric reveals scandal

The Federation of Chinese Associations Sabah (FCAS) has called for the legalisation of illegal immigrants who have been in Sabah for more than 15 years without criminal records, as part of positive measures and action to be carried out to solve the illegal immigrant problem in the State.

Whether it was actually one of the 16 resolutions adopted at the FCAS Annual General Meeting 2008 remains to be seen. How many of them (illegals) are we talking about?
