SPR & Megat Junid arah Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara bagi IC kepada pendatang2 haram supaya mereka boleh mengundi dan menangkan calon2 BN...

Seorang bekas pegawai Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) hari ini memberi keterangan berhubung dakwaan kerjasama pihak berkuasa untuk mengubah demografi pemilih Sabah pada tahun 1990-an.

Mohd Nasir Sugip ketika memberi keterangan kepada Suruhanjaya Diraja (RCI) mengenai masalah imigrasi Sabah hari ini mendakwa jabatannya pernah menerima arahan daripada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) negeri untuk memberi kad pengenalan kepada pendatang asing untuk membolehkan golongan itu mengundi.

Mohd Nasir yang pernah ditahan bawah ISA sebelum ini mendakwa operasi yang digelar "Ops Durian Buruk" itu dijalankan antara tahun 1992 hingga 1995.

Dakwanya, pengarah SPR Sabah pada masa itu, Wan Ahmad Wan Yusof menyerahkan senarai 16,000 nama untuk diklasifikasikan sebagai pengundi "Bumiputera Islam".

"Bos saya, pengarah JPN Sabah Ramli Kamarudin kemudiannya secara lisan memberitahu saya untuk menjalankan projek ini," katanya.

Mohd Nasir turut mengaitkan tiga lagi individu yang hadir ketika arahan itu dikeluarkan.

Bagaimanapun, nama individu berkenaan tidak dapat diperolehi memandangkan pegawai RCI – wakil daripada pejabat peguam negara – enggan memberi kerjasama.

Katanya, beliau mengikut arahan tersebut dan mengambil pegawai yang tidak dinamakan di peringkat negeri untuk operasi berkenaan.

Mohd Nasir mendakwa, operasi berkenaan melibatkan tindakan memberi kad pengenalan kepada pendatang asing dan mengeluarkan nombor kad pengenalan berdasarkan tarikh lahir, foto dan nama yang diberikan SPR.-malaysiakini

Megat Junid dikaitkan dalam dakwaan beri IC di Sabah...

Bekas pengarah Jabatan Pendaftaran Sabah, Ramli Kamaruddin mendakwa beliau mula merekrut pengundi hantu selepas secara peribadi menerima arahan dari timbalan menteri dalam negeri ketika itu, Tan Sri Megat Junid Megat Ayub.

Ketika memberi keterangan kepada suruhanjaya siasatan diraja (RCI) mengenai pendatang di Sabah hari ini, Ramli mendakwa beliau telah diarahkan untuk mengeluarkan resit kad pengenalan (IC) kepada pendatang asing menggunakan butiran mereka yang sudahpun ada dalam daftar pemilih tetapi tidak pernah mengundi sebelumnya.

Beliau mendakwa menerima panggilan dua minggu sebelum pilihan raya negeri Sabah pada 1994 untuk menemui Megat Junid di sebuah hotel. 

Beliau mendakwa telah diarahkan untuk membantu memastikan akan kemenangan kerajaan negeri yang disokong oleh kerajaan persekutuan.

Ramli mendakwa telah diarahkan untuk mengeluarkan resit JPN menggunakan nama dan nombor IC pengundi yang sudah ada dalam daftar pemilih dengan tujuan bagi memboleh mereka mengundi.

Resit JPN adalah slip kad pengenalan sementara yang dikeluarkan sebelum menerima kad pengenalan sebenarnya. Dokumen tersebut adalah memadai untuk mengundi, jelas beliau.-malaysiakini

 Megat Junid implicated in Sabah IC scam...

Former Sabah National Registation Department director Ramli Kamaruddin claimed he embarked on recruiting phantom voters after personally receiving instructions from then-deputy home minister Megat Junid Megat Ayub.

Testifying at the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah today, Ramli claimed he was instructed to issue an identity card (IC) receipt to immigrants using the details of people who are already in the electoral roll but had never voted before.

“I received a call two weeks before the 1994 Sabah state election to meet Megat Junid at a hotel. 

I was instructed to help to ensure a state government endorsed by the federal government would win.

“I was instructed to issue NRD receipts using the name and IC number of voters already in the electoral roll with the sole purpose of allowing them to vote,” he said.

NRD receipts are temporary identity card slips that are issued prior to the granting of a proper identity card. This document is sufficient to allow for voting, he explained.-malaysiakini

Ex-NRD man: EC made us issue ICs to immigrants...

A former Sabah National Registration Department (NRD) officer has provided the clearest proof yet that there was indeed a concerted effort by the authorities to alter Sabah's electoral demographics in the 1990s.

Testifying before the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on Sabah's immigration problems today, Mohd Nasir Sugip said his department had once taken instructions from the state Election Commission (EC) to provide unqualified immigrants with identity card numbers so that they could vote in the election.

Mohd Nasir, who was once detained under the Internal Security Act, said the clandestine scheme was dubbed 'Ops Durian Buruk' and ran from 1992 to 1995.

"At that time, Sabah SPR director Wan Ahmad (Wan Yusof, left) handed over a list of 16,000 names to be made into 'bumiputera Islam' voters.

"My boss, Sabah NRD director Ramli Kamarudin, then verbally told me to execute this project," he said.

Mohd Nasir also implicated three other individuals who were present when the instruction was issued.

However, their names could not be obtained as the RCI conducting officers - representatives of the Attorney-General's Chambers - were not forthcoming.

'It worked, BN won'

Mohd Nasir said he followed the instructions given to him and recruited other unnamed officers at the district level for this operation.

He said the operation involved providing the immigrants with new identity card numbers based on the date of birth, photographs and names provided by the EC.

"The list consisted of Filipinos and Indonesians who were Muslim and aged above 21 years," he said, adding that they were mostly from Sandakan, Tawau, Sempoerna and other parts of Sabah.

These individuals are then planted as voters across Sabah with the objective of boosting the number of Muslim voters in the state.

"An example is in the state assembly seat of Sugut and the parliamentary seat of Kinabatangan.

"We planted about 800 voters in Sugut and in the next general election, the result was in favour of BN. The candidate won by 79 votes," he said.

Mohd Nasir said he did not receive any gratification for taking part in the operation. He was only following instructions, and for this he was detained under the Internal Security Act, for three years from May 30, 1995.-malaysiakini
