Some 50,000 Malaysian citizens in Sabah have signed a petition demanding that the federal government set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in the state.
The petition is to be handed to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak or his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin during the current parliamentary sitting.
Sabah Progressive Peoples Party (SAPP) said the petition was signed by 50,000 Malaysians who also gave their IC numbers.
Its Youth division chief Edward Dagul said that the signatures would only be handed to Najib or his deputy and they would be expecting a definitive answer from either of them.
