RCI: THREE WEEKS AND WAITING





By : FMT STAFF

KOTA KINABALU: When Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak annoucedthe Terms of Reference (TOR) for the much awaited Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) upon bootleg immigrants, he pronounced the panel will ensue the examine after the Agong's revelation upon the appointment of commissioners.

But it's been three weeks given with no further updates, pronounced Sabah PKR.
Urging Najib to insist the delay, PKR's Sabah Security, Immigration as well as Electoral Reform Bureau Chief, Dr Chong Eng Leong pronounced the stream incident gives the impressions that the RCI is the 'political gimmick'.

"Prime Minister Najib contingency insist the delay. Why is there still no Agong's revelation upon the appointment of the commissioners right away that TOR has been announced. It's been three weeks," he said.

Last month, Najib voiced that the RCI would be given 6 months to examine the Sabah bootleg newcomer issue.

The 6 months, he said, would begin from when the RCI's instrument of appointments were issued to the commission's chairman, former Sabah as well as Sarawak arch judge Steve Shim Lip Kiong.

But that apparently has not happened yet.

The others upon the elect have been Domestic Trade, Cooperatives as well as Consumerism Ministry secretary-general Saripuddin Kasim who is the RCI! 's secre tary, while the remaining commissioners are:

-Former Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Kamaruzaman Ampon.
-Former Sabah Attorney-General Herman Luping.
-Former Sabah State Secretary KY Mustafa.
-Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation Deputy Chairman, Henry Chin Poy Wu.

Not sufficient time

Whilst the RCI has received churned reviews, Chong yesterday pronounced that the 6 months time support voiced by Najib for the RCI to conclude their investigations was insufficient.

"There have been tonnes of files from the National Registration Department alone that needs to be studied. Six months is not sufficient for RCI to do (a thorough) job.

"(Also) we have studied in item the TOR as well as find it too restrictive. It is usually investigative as well as has no office to even make recommendations except upon one item.

"(In that case) if they have been starting to examine who were the people involved, who was the designer in this treacherous as well as perfidious act, do they (RCI) have the power to recommend legal actions?

"(Also) have been they starting to examine into the purpose of giving ICs as well as citizenship to unfamiliar migrants (as detected from the KL High Court records as stated above)?" he asked.

Chong pronounced the immediate concern arising from the TOR would be when it is proven that electoral rolls have been sinister with non-qualified voters.

"Then there is the serious effect of declaring the entrance choosing formula null as well as void.

"This could be the ultimate reason for BN not to ensue with this RCI before the 13th General Election, that is why we say that it is the ! politica l gimmick," he said, adding that Sabah's electoral rolls have been estimated to have around 200,000 non-qualified electorate among the stream 950,000 registered voters. - Sabahkini
