I am supporting the planned DAP motion for the Royal Commission of Inquiry on Illegal Immigrants in the Parliament.
The recently-completed Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Judiciary, among others, had allegedly implicated former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the irregular appointment of judges.
Since Project ICs issued to foreigners in Sabah was also referred to as Project may be a Royal Commission of Inquiry might also implicate Mahathir or vindicate him.
A week after the last general election, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi admitted that "he had heard what the people wanted him to hear".
He must have heard peninsula voices only because the near 100 per cent MP seats from Sabah and Sarawak given to BN did not receive rewards appropriately.
It seems our PM's only concern is peninsula. Look at our Sabahans repeated appeal and begging him to listen to our cry for help to solve our security cum sovereignty within Malaysia due to the huge number of illegal immigrants and project IC holders. Foreigners could get Malaysian ICs very easily. But nothing concrete has come out of this.
The promise in 2006 for large scale operations like the Ops Nyah II to flush out paperless foreigners also did not happen.
the announcement for two more detention centres for illegal immigrants to be built in Sabah in 2006 remained mere words and it was again announced when the PM was in Sabah as if it was something new.
I do not want to pretend and say that everything is okay. We do not want to be in a state of denial. Tell the truth, even if it is painful.
But the PM did not practice what he preached. He did not want to hear the truth about Project IC or Project Mahathir in Sabah by the fact that the National Registration Department was directed not to answer the Parliamentary Select Committee on Integrity on questions regarding this project.
Sabah had sent memoranda to the Prime Minister on this issue but did he ever read them?
