Enforce State Commission of Inquiry 1981-SAPP

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has challenged Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) Ieaders to take matters into their own hands in regard to the setting up of an independent investigation panel to probe the issues related to illegal immigrants in Sabah.

Its deputy president Datuk Eric Majimbun said Sabah leaders should walk the talk and not just claim commitment in pushing for the proposed Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants, which until today has yet to be set up.

He said the state government should not leave the matter solely at the mercy of their bosses in Putrajaya but find ways to set up the panel at the state level.

“If they are incapable of doing this too, the leaders should respectfully resign from their posts for failing to deliver their promises to the people," he added.

“If BN in KL continues to be reluctant to set up the RCI, we urge the state government to step up and deal with the problem themselves.

“Sabah should comply and enforce the State Commission of Inquiry 1981 or else respectfully relinquish their posts," he said in a statement issued through short messages services (SMS) here yesterday.

MP: Speed up probe on robbery-cum-murder

Lagatah Toyos

TAWAU: Member of Parliament Datuk Chua SoonBui urged the police to expedite investigations into Saturday's robbery-cum-murder case in Kalabakan.

Chua expressed worry that the perpetrators may spring on others.

Expressing shock over the vicious attack on Sang Sui Fong who was found dead with multiple stab wounds near her car, Chua condemned the heartless and senseless act.

She also expressed her sympathy and condolence to the family of Sang and promised to assist in whatever way she could.

According to her, "fear of crimes" has been a nightmare to all the families especially for women and children who are more vulnerable to crimes.

"It is therefore important that the public be on alert by taking constant precautions ... notifying your family members when one is travelling alone and keeping emergency contacts to police and other authorities are some of the measures that must be taken," she said.

Polis digesa segerakan siasatan kes Sang: Chua

Lagatah Toyos

TAWAU: Ahli Parlimen Datuk Chua Soon Bui menggesa polis mempercepatkan siasatan terhadap kes rompak dan bunuh di Kalabakan, Sabtu lepas.

Membuat gesaan itu, Chua khuatir orang yang melakukan jenayah itu mungkin akan menyerang orang lain.

Melahirkan rasa terkejutnya mengenai serangan kejam terhadap Sang Sui Fong itu yang ditemui mati akibat beberapa tikaman dekat keretanya, Chua mengutuk perbuatan yang tidak berhati perut itu.

Beliau juga mengucapkan simpati dan takziah kepada keluarga Sang dan berjanji untuk membantu apa yang boleh.

Menurutnya, kebimbangan terhadap jenayah telah menjadi mimpi ngeri setiap keluarga terutamanya wanita dan kanak-kanak. 

"Dengan itu, adalah penting bagi orang ramai supaya sentiasa berwaspada dengan mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga, beritahu ahli keluarga anda apabila berjalan seorang diri dan simpan nombor hubungan kecemasan polis dan pihak berkuasa adalah antara langkah yang perlu diambil," katanya.

Liew: Why suddenly only now Sabah NRD is aware?

LIKAS:Assemblyman Datuk Liew Teck Chan on Monday questioned why only now the National Registration Department (NRD) is aware that there are still many people in Sabah without birth certificates even though the matter has existed for a very long time.

Debating the government policy speech at the State Legislative Assembly, he was referring to a statement by Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman that there are "40,000 Malaysians" in Sabah without the birth certificate or other forms of valid identification documents.

Abu Seman, he said, had stated that in Semporna alone, there are about 4,000 people without identification documents.

According to him, the Federal Government has been requested prior to this to assist genuine Sabah locals to obtain birth certificates and identification documents especially those living in the interior and remote areas.

"So, I am of the opinion that the officers in the NRD should have conducted their duty with full responsibility according to the guideline and existing laws when issuing birth certificates for late registration,” he said.

In fact, he said Abu Seman stated that a mobile registration service is in the process of conducting visits to several districts in Sabah to help register those without birth certificate.

To this, Liew said Sabah NRD should employ more locals from Sabah to work for the department and empower them to vet the applications for identification documents.

Sabahans ending up migrants in own country, says SAPP

MEMBAKUT: The rights of Sabahans need to be determined on their own, said SAPP Vice President Datuk Frankie Chong.

It is thus, he said, time for Sabahans to take their fate into their own hands and take the last opportunity to fight for changes with courage.

He said this to residents in Kg Sinoko here, adding that issues such as land grabbing and natives losing their land to others has never happened in the past.

This, he stressed, was among the main reasons for SAPP's pullout from BN after the last general election three years ago, to fight for the rights of Sabahans.

"We are robbed in daylight when our rights are made fun of and not taken seriously by BN leaders, be it from here or the peninsula," said Chong.

"They feed the people with sweet promises when in fact they are taking advantage of the sincerity and goodness of Sabah people."

On the RCI issue, he said leaders in PBS and Upko, and other "local" parties here are cowards because they are under the control of BN, like cows with rings in their noses.

Kebimbangan Anifah berasas, kata SAPP

Mail Mathew

TENOM: Kerajaan digesa melaksanakan segera Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) sebelum masalah pendatang tanpa izin di negeri ini semakin sulit dengan gerakan pendaftaran bergerak di Senalang, Semporna.

Ahli Majlis Tertinggi (AMT) Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) Roger Stimin, yang bersetuju dengan kebimbangan Menteri Luar Datuk Anifah Aman, berkata gerakan tersebut perlu dihentikan segera sebelum RCI bermula.

"Memanglah kita setuju dengan gerakan Jabatan Pendaftaran itu tetapi rakyat terlalu bimbang dengan keadaan itu kerana banyak perkara boleh berlaku seperti di masa masa lepas.

"Kebimbangan Datuk Anifah berhubung gerakan pemberian sijil kelahiran kepada kira-kira 40,000 kanak-kanak di Senalang yang mana jumlahnya terlalu besar dan rakyat akan menjadi pelarian di negara sendiri ada asasnya, dan SAPP juga bersetuju dengan beliau," katanya pada Isnin.

Tambahnya, yang menjadi persoalan pokok sekarang adalah kesahihan dokumen kerakyatan dan juga pewujudan Kad Pengenalan palsu di Sabah.

Tidak umum RCI bukti Umno tidak telus: SAPP

Mail Mathew

TENOM: Ramai yang kecewa apabila Perdana Menteri Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak langsung tidak menyebut mengenai Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) mengenai pendatang tanpa izin ketika kunjungan dua hari beliau ke Sabah, dakwa sayap Pemuda Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP)Tenom.

Naib ketuanya, Rudy Sulaiman berkata ramai yang menunggu pengumuman itu dengan penuh harapan dan ia umpama memperdayakan rakyat.

"Ia taktik kotor meraih undi daripada rakyat Sabah pada PRU-13. Kegagalan Najib mengumumkan RCI jelas membuktikan ketidak-telusan Umno terhadap BN, " kata Rudy sambil mencabar parti komponen BN seperti PBS, Upko, PBRS dan LDP keluar daripada parti itu.

Sementara itu, Rudy mengingatkan rakyat Sabah agar tidak termakan dengan pujian menggunung Perdana Menteri bahawa Sabah tidak lagi merupakan negeri yang miskin. 

"Siapakah sebenarnya yang merompak kekayaan Sabah sebelum ini sehingga dilabelkan oleh media antarabangsa sebagai negeri yang termiskin di Asia?," soal Rudy.

Sekadar negeri kaya tidak membawa apa-apa perubahan sekiranya tidak memberi manfaat dan hasil kepada rakyat, tambahnya.

SAPP ask when RCI will be formed

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) wants to know when the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will announce the formation of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah.

Its Information Chief Chong Pit Fah said they were disappointed that during the Prime Minister's recent visit to Sabah there was no word of the RCI.

Rakyat Sabah kecewa PM tidak umum RCI: SAPP

KOTA KINABALU: Penduduk tempatan Sabah kecewa apabila Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tidak membuat sebarang pengumuman mengenai penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI), mengenai  pendatang tanpa izin di negeri ini.

Timbalan Presiden Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) Datuk Eric Majimbun berkata, tidak ada pengumuman RCI itu jelas bermakna kerajaan Persekutuan tidak ambil berat tentang apa yang berlaku di Sabah.

"Najib dijangka membuat pengumuman tentang RCI itu semasa lawatan dua harinya ke sini tetapi beliau tidak berbuat demikian. Apa yang menghairankan, kenapa para pemimpin Persekutuan agak keberatan? Mungkin ada sesuatu yang mereka mahu sorok bawah tikar.

"Menurut Menteri perusahaan Perladangan dan Komoditi Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, Kabinet Persekutuan telah buat keputusan mengenai RCI dan Kabinet Persekutuan telah memberi mandat kepada Najib untuk mengumumkan keputusan itu, tetapi apa yang berlaku adalah tidak ada pengumuman dibuat.

"Penduduk Sabah kecewa,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini pada Sabtu.

Beliau berkata, ketiadaan pengumuman itu merupakan satu tamparan keras ke muka parti-parti komponen barisan nasional (BN) Sabah seperti PBS dan Upko yang telah beria-ia memberitahu rakyat bahawa Najib akan membuat pengumuman itu semasa melawat negeri ini.

Majimbun berkata, maka sekarang ini, rakyat Sabah mahu Kerajaan persekutuan membuat pendirian sama ada RCI itu akan ditubuhkan ataupun tidak.

SAPP's repeated calls for RCI

By Edward Dagul

SAPP had made the call for the setting up of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Sabah's Illegal immigrant problem to the Federal authorities to clear doubts in the minds of Sabahans as to the unusual population increase in the number of Malaysians in Sabah.

SAPP mahu pemimpin persekutuan nyata pendirian mengenai RCI

BEAUFORT: Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) mahu tahu pendirian para pemimpin Persekutuan mengenai gesaan penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja RCI; untuk mengetahui sehingga ke punca pengeluaran KP kepada pendatang tanpa izin.

Ahli Jawatankuasa Zon Selatan SAPP, Jamain Sarudin berkata, ini kerana semua parti politik telah menyatakan pendirian mereka mengenai perkara itu tetapi pemimpin di peringkat Persekutuan terus membisu.

Beliau juga bertanya sama ada pengerusi Pekida Sabah, Datu Akjan Ali Muhammad bekerja sebagai ejen Kuala Lumpur apabila membantah penubuhan RCI itu.

"Kenapa Akjan membuat kenyataan itu dan bukannya seorang pemimpin BN atau Menteri Persekutuan? Siapalah Akjan untuk memberi nasihat kepada penduduk Sabah sedangkan latar belakang dan kewarganegaraannya diragui oleh ramai," katanya dalarn satu kenyataan di sini Selasa.

Beliau berkata, penduduk Sabah berhak untuk menuntut penubuhan RCI itu dan jika kerajaan Persekutuan enggan mendengar suara rakyat maka adalah dipercayai yang mereka akan menerima tindak balasnya pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 nanti.
