Foreign Muslims no longer welcome in Sabah

Local Muslims have realised which they need to stand joined with their internal non-Muslim brothers, Dusun as good as Chinese, opposite a obviously neo-colonialist policies of Putrajaya.

COMMENT

Foreign Minister Anifah Aman's critique of a National Registration Department (NRD) upon Sunday for embarking upon a issuance of belated birth certificates as good as MyKads to 40,000 people in Semporna alone is telling.

Anifah, a Pathan-Dusun, wants a exercise stopped upon a grounds which there could not be which most Malaysians in a single tiny easterly seashore district alone without personal documents.

He fears, as most people do, which a field were not genuine deliberation a vast numbe! r of sick egal immigrants in which area quite along a complete eastern seaboard.

Interestingly, Minister in a Chief Minister's Department Nasir Sakaran is backing a NRD's exercise in Semporna upon a grounds which it had been authorized by Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

Nasir, a Suluk, has a await of former arch apportion Harris Salleh who has often pontificated sanctimoniously upon a energy of a sovereign supervision to issue Malaysian personal documents, implying which they can be since to any Tom, Dick as good as Harry.

It was a same Harris, an Indian-Barunai, who "prophesised" in 1985 after his thespian fall from energy which a brand brand new Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) state supervision would not last as "many people were right away removing blue ICs".

Harris' "prophecy" came loyal in 1994 when PBS came in with a wafer-thin infancy of two seats opposite a twenty-three seats picked up by Umno (20) as good as Sabah Progressive Party (three), a breakaway fan from! PBS. Th e PBS government, headed by Joseph Pairin Kitingan, fell a month later upon a at a back of of vast defections engineered by afterwards prime apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The 48 seats in a State Legislative Assembly have since 1994 increased to 60 with a serve of another twelve Muslim seats to add to a prior twenty seats, whilst a non-Muslim seats remained solidified during 28 as good as unnoticed by a world. In Parliament, non-Muslim seats from Sabah remained during twelve whilst a Muslim ones were increased by 5 to 13.

It's not strange which Muslim seats should enlarge whilst non-Muslim ones remain solidified as in 1994 deliberation a vast number of bootleg immigrants placed upon a electora! l rolls. There's no alternative logical explanation nonetheless it's claimed which Muslim seats have been tiny whilst non-Muslim ones have been vast though this merely serve masks a real picture.

The stark differences in open in in between Anifah as good as Nasir upon a NRD is a clearest example of a increasing undo in in between internal Muslims as good as alternative Muslims, often from neighbouring countries, who have had an easy time so far in removing their hands upon Malaysian personal documents, removing upon a electoral rolls as good as even becoming present locals as good as Bumiputera. The tenure "Bumiputera" is an powerful domestic tenure to cover a Orang Asli, a locals as good as Malays, a last not being settled in a Federal Constitution as natives.

Open secret

At a single time, a antithesis to a bootleg newcomer threat came often from a Dusun including Kadazan or urban Dusun as good as Murut as good as a Chinese. Now, it's no longer so.

The internal Muslims Bajau, Suluk, Barunai, Irranun, as good as Dusun have jumped upon a anti-illegal bandwagon as well. Except for a Dusun Muslim, a alternative internal Muslims have been a descendents of immigrants who came in a prolonged time ago, a little dating at a back o! f 300 ye ars, though quite a number since a formation of Malaysia in 1963.

The brand brand new newcomer influx, often Muslim illegals, has most Bajau as good as Suluk from a Philippines. Elsewhere, they include Bugis from Indonesia, Pakistanis as good as Bangladeshis. The Bugis browbeat a taxi as good as mini train trade in Sabah as good as even win a considerable number of supervision scholarships during a expense of internal Muslims. Quite a number of unfamiliar Muslims have made it in to a State Legislative Assembly as good as Parliament as good as this is an open secret in Sabah.

There might be grudging acceptance of a bootleg immigrants in Sabah though usually so prolonged as they do not get their hands upon Malaysian personal documents, get upon a electoral rolls as good as go upon to claim present internal as good as Bumiputera status.

Indeed, it has been estimated which 600,000 of a bootleg immigrants during a really smallest have Malaysian personal papers as good as there have been a serve 1.1 million of them in a state. Meanwhile, internal Sabahans number only 1.5 million. These total have been from 2005 when a state was estimated to have a population of 3.2 million. The total population figure right away stands ! during a little 3.6 million.

There's no doubt which Sabah is a vast state, in truth a country, with acute manpower shortages as good as work needs. The law provides for a orderly entry of unfamiliar work though possibly most can't be bothered or find which they have to flare out high fees to work legally in Sabah. Hence, a bootleg newcomer materialisation in a state continues as employers, a authorities as good as even locals who occupy illegals as casual work demeanour a alternative way.

The bottomline is which bootleg immigrants yield cannon provender for Putrajaya's divide-and-rule tactics in Sabah.

At first, a sovereign supervision excluded a non-Muslim locals in Sabah, as in Sarawak, from a benefits of Article 153 of a Federal ! Constitu tion as good as a New Economic Policy (NEP). Having driven this domestic as good as mercantile wedge between loca! ls, Musl im as good as non-Muslim, a powers-that-be subsequent embarked upon localising a overwhelmingly Muslim bootleg immigrants.

That plan seemed to sit good with a internal Muslims as prolonged as a non-Muslims had a top hand in a domestic energy equation in a state. Now, it's no longer internal Muslims versus alternative locals in a governing body of a state. It's internal Muslims aligned with internal non-Muslims versus alternative Muslims as a last cause make their participation felt in a economy as good as in a governing body of a state.

Neo-col! onialist policies

Nowhere is this development some-more strong than in a fact which unfamiliar Muslims have been allegedly eyeing a arch minister's post as good as have been impatient to get their hands upon it. It is this factor, some-more than anything else, that's at a back of Anifah's coming out over a NRD's mobile teams being in Semporna to literally hand out MyKads to any Tom, Dick as good as Harry.

Local Muslims have been right away beginning to realise which not usually do they have to share their opportunities with unfamiliar Muslims, they have been in danger of being forced to share a arch minister's post as good with a latter. Sharing would eventually meant losing a position wholly as what has happened to a Dusuns as good as Chinese.

Putrajaya's dark bulletin in Sabah is to "cheat only enough" to ensure which a Dusun as good as Chinese don! t get t successor hands ever again upon a arch minister's post. It makes little difference to them whether a arch apportion is a internal Muslim or a foreigner so prolonged as a Sabahans do not combine opposite a sovereign government. The need to keep adding illegals to a electoral rolls arises from their tendency to go at a back of home, pierce to Peninsular Malaysia as good as from there abroad, or even pierce! to non- strategic seats.

The chickens have right away come home to roost.

Local Muslims have realised, albeit belatedly, which they need to stand joined with their internal non-Muslim brothers, Dusun as good as Chinese, opposite a obviously neo-colonialist policies of Putrajaya in Sabah, as good as by prolongation in Sarawak.

This realisation is strong in a re-emergence of a United Sabah National Organisation (Usno) as a force in a opposition. The party! is amon g those pulling for a betrothed Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) upon bootleg immigrants in Sabah. It's feared which a NRD exercise in Semporna might be between Putrajaya's fait accompli initiatives in a state before a RCI is set up.

There have been also clear indications, Anifah-Nasir being one, which a various factions in Umno in a state might no longer be able to work together for prolonged since a deficiency of an outmost rivalry in a state from between a locals, a alienation with Usno, as good as a increasing purpose possibly without delay or indirectly of a illegals in a governing body of a state.
