Sabah Umno: We never objected to RCI

Has Sabah Umno eventually relented over an RCI to investigate the population 'explosion' in Sabah or is it just another 'smoke screen'?

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno has denied which it was opposite the environment up of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the exponential increase in bootleg immigrants in the state.

The rejection is somewhat during contingency with its previous wordless mount upon the issue.

But according to Sabah Umno report chief, Sapawi Ahmad, the celebration had "never" objected to the environment up of RCI upon the issue.

"The emanate of Sabah Umno objecting to the environment of the RCI never arose. Sabah Umno has no objection to the environment up of the RCI by the federal government.

"In actuality in 2008, Sabah Umno submitted the memorandum to then Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi detailing assorted issues which compulsory the federal government's immediate courtesy as well as the single of the issues was the augmenting foreign nationals in the state.

"We had in the memorandum urged the federal government to take proactive measures to manage the augmenting numbers," he said.

Sapawi pronounced it was not Sabah Umno who decides upon either to conduct an RCI or not.

"The decision to conduct an RCI is an executive deci! sion of the federal government," he said, pointing out which Umno parliamentarians from Sabah had infact supposed the recommendations of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) which had adopted the fortitude to set up an RCI for Sabah.

But Umno was not present during the two-day PSC hearing held in Kota Kinabalu in Nov last year.

All alternative BN partners as well as antithesis celebration representatives pulpy their box for an RCI to be enclosed in the PSC recommendations.

RCI dear to Umno
The call for an RCI in Sabah was eventuatlly enclosed as partial of the 10 recommendations done by the PSC in relation to electoral reforms.

Although the Election Commission has 'responded positively' to 7 of the PSC's recommendations, there's still no word upon the RCI for Sabah.

Sabahans have been doubtful which Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak would agree to the 'genuine' RCI for Sabah.

Because the 'genuine' RCI will be dear to Umno, its leaders as well as the thousands of bootleg immigrants who have given obtained MyKads as well as have been Sabah Barisan Nasional's 'fixed deposit'.

So Sapawi's rejection which Umno is supportive of an RCI rings hollow as well as comes the little too late in the day, generally with the looming ubiquitous election.

Well-known Sabah consumerism activist, Patrick Sindu, most appropriate summed it up when he said: "If they (BN leaders) have been serious about elucidate this perennial issue, they should have done it long time prior to as this make the difference endangered national security."

"Foreigners were issued with Malaysian MyKads as well as drafted into the electoral rolls by nothing alternative than Umno itself," he said.

Upko welcomes Umno's support
However Sabah Umno's await for the RCI was currently welcomed by United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko).

Describing the pi! erce as long over due, Upko deputy report arch Sualim Gopog pronounced it was the consequential milestone toward contingent fortitude of the bootleg immigrants emanate as well as the unusual increase in the population in Sabah.

"The Umno await for the environment up of an RCI is in truth historic, as well as it will certainly turn the watershed for the contingent fortitude of the longstanding issues of bootleg immigrants, particularly Project IC as well as the unusual increase in the population of Sabah.
