A KEY leader of State
Reform Party (STAR) in Kinabatangan, which is flooded by illegal immigrants,
has called upon STAR leadership to consider adopting and improving the proposal
by another opposition party, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), to introduce a
Sabah identification card, as among its objective.
James Ait, who is
also Star state committee member, in a statement today said that the issuance
of such state own identification card should be stringent and will
differentiate between those genuine Sabahans and those who got the
easily-available to immigrants Malaysian MyKads.
"It is sad that
today MyKads are freely being given to newly-arrived immigrants, especially to
muslims from the southern Philippines and Indonesia...
"Sabah should
have from the very beginning in 1963 insisted that it issue its own
identification cards since it has power over immigration as stipulated in both
the state and federal constitutions.
"But this was
never done, leaving the Federal authority instead of monopoly to do whatever it
likes to alter the political balance in Sabah," he said adding that
something must be done to differentiate between bona fide Sabahans and
Malaysianised new-comers.
Ait said that it is
only right for an alternative government like Star to adopt the idea now so
that a thorough follow-up could be carried out later, when it forms a new government,
and that to make the genuine people here see some security in their own state.
ID kad untuk membezakan antara tempatan dan asing? bagus juga..
ReplyDeleteTapi bezalah nanti IC orang Sabah dengan negeri2 lain kalau macam ni.
Deleteini macam nak wujudkan jurang antara Sabah dgn negeri lain jika begitu.
Deleteapa2 pun, diharap RCI ditubuhkan..
ReplyDeleteRCI harus ditubuhkan secepat mungkin dan dilaksnakan sebelum PRU13
DeletePersekutuaan harus serius dengan penubuhan RCI
ReplyDeleteTunggu saja hingga ToR dimuktamadkan.
DeleteTidak perlulah mengulangi isu yang telah disuarakan oleh KERAJAAN NEGERI. SAPP cuma tahu meniru orang lain saja.
ReplyDeletemesti pemimpin2 SAPP bangga sebab idea mereka turut dipersetujui oleh parti lain.. biasalah, bagi mereka populariti itu lebih penting berbanding dengan kesungguhan mereka merealisasikan cadangan itu..
ReplyDeletetidakkah SAPP dan STAR terfikir implikasinya jika rakyat Sabah memiliki 2 kad pengenalan? atau memiliki kad pengenalan yang berlainan dengan kerajaan persekutuan??
