Sabah - 10% dapat MyKad tanpa memohon dan 90% lagi membeli MyKad...

 Datuk Seri Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing mencadangkan agar mana-mana kad pengenalan (IC) biru meragukan yang dikeluarkan kepada pendatang asing perlu ditarik semula, dan diberikan kad pengenalan merah sementara sehingga penyiasatan berhubung perkara itu selesai, katanya kepada Inkuiri Diraja Suruhanjaya penyiasatan dengan pemberian kad pengenalan kepada warga asing (RCI).

Bekas ahli Parlimen Tuaran yang mesra Pakatan Rakyat (PR) itu berkata, hanya mereka yang dipercayai benar-benar sebagai warganegara sahaja akan diberikan kad pengenalan biru selepas selesai penyiasatan bagi membolehkan gejala pemberian kad pengenalan kepada warga asing dapat diselesaikan.

"Ia perlu diselesaikan seperti mana pemberian kad pengenalan mula-mula berlaku," katanya kepada panel inkuiri yang diketuai bekas Hakim Besar Sabah dan Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong.

"Kerajaan perlu bersedia mengeluarkan duit untuk tujuan itu," katanya yang bertanding menggunakan lambang PKR dalam Pilihan Raya 2013, pada 5 Mei lalu, namun tewas kepada Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau, dari BN-UPKO.

Bumburing turut mendakwa, dengan penambahan jumlah populasi Sabah yang mengejut, ia mengubah landkap demografi negeri Borneo tersebut, malah turut memberi kesan terhadap keputusan pilihan raya.

Beliau turut mengambil contoh kawasan Parlimen Likas, yang menurutnya pada suatu ketika merupakan kawasan majoriti Cina kini komuniti itu bukan lagi komuniti majoriti.

"Semua orang sedar pendatang asing memberikan kesan kepada keputusan pilihan raya," dakwanya.

"Lihat Batu Sapi, jelas warga asing melebihi pengundi tempatan," katanya lagi.

Beliau turut menyatakan daripada 48 kerusi Parlimen di Sabah, kawasan majoriti bukan Muslim hanya tinggal 18 daripada 20 kerusi sebelumnya, manakala kawasan majoriti Muslim meningkat kepada 24 berbanding 20, dan bakinya kawasan majoriti Cina dengan lapan kawasan.

"Kerajaan tahu mereka yang diberikan kad pengenalan secara tidak sah, jika suruhanjaya melaksanakan perkara ini, sebahagian besarnya akan selesai.

"Saya merasakan mereka (warga asing) perlu diberi keizinan tinggal sementara sehingga penyiasatan selesai, bukannya persoalan menghalau mereka keluar (Sabah) ... Mereka ada keluarga, jadi perlu diberikan alternatif, kerajaan tahu siapa mereka, dan ia boleh dilakukan," katanya lagi.

Cadangan beliau dilihat selari dengan ahli Parlimen Barisan Nasional (BN) Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau semalam yang berkata kepada panel RCI, masalah pemberian kad pengenalan kepada pendatang asing juga tidak akan pernah selesai, melainkan rombakan keseluruhan sistem pemberian kad pengenalan dilaksanakan.

"Ini isu integriti ... kita perlu 'reset' semuanya untuk kembali ke 'ground zero', katanya yang juga merupakan Setiausaha Agung Parti Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Bersatu (UPKO) kepada lima panel RCI di Mahkamah Tinggi Kota Kinabalu, di sini.

Beliau kemudiannya mencadangkan agar mereka yang telah diambil kad pengenalannya dalam proses tersebut untuk memohon kembali menggunakan sijil kelahiran.

"Jika kita tidak melakukan perkara itu, bagaimana kita mahu menyelesaikan masalah kad pengenalan meragukan seperti ini," soalnya lagi, dan menambah kes pemberian kad pengenalan meragukan itu tidak akan pernah berhenti, sebaliknya akan berterusan.

"Pada mereka yang rasa mereka benar-benar warganegara, tiada apa nak ditakutkan," tambahnya yang juga merupakan saksi pertama dalam kalangan ahli politik yang dipanggil memberi keterangan kepada RCI.

Beliau turut berkata, 10 peratus pendatang asing yang menerima kad pengenalan tersebut tanpa perlu memohonnya.

"Manakala 90 peratus daripada mereka membeli kad pengenalan tersebut," katanya, dan menerangkan laporan kaji selidik tersebut akan didedahkan oleh Presiden UPKO Tan Sri Bernard Giluk Dompok pada Jumaat ini kepada RCI.

RCI sebelum ini pada Mei diberitahu Sabah mengeluarkan kad pengenalan 12 kali lebih banyak berbanding Sarawak, dengan sekitar 66,000 pendatang haram di negeri Borneo tersebut telah diberi kad pengenalan  biru sejak 1963.

Pengarah Jabatan Pendaftaran Negeri Sarawak Datuk Abu Bakar Mat sebelum ini memberi keterangan  seramai 5,373 pendatang di Sarawak telah diberi IC biru daripada 1963 hingga 2012.
Dianggarkan sekitar 28 peratus daripada 3.2 juta penduduk Sabah adalah warga asing, menjadikannya berjumlah seramai 889,000 orang.

Kemasukan pendatang asing tanpa izin telah menimbulkan kemarahan masyarakat pribumi Sabah seperti Kadazandusun dan Murut (KDM), ramai daripada mereka merasakan kedaulatan negeri Borneo tersebut  telah dirompak ekoran kebanjiran warga asing dari Filipina dan Indonesia.

RCI akan disambung esok pada jam 9.30 pagi. - 19 Jun, 2013.-malaysian insider

Immigrants determine election outcome in Sabah...

The illegal granting of citizenship to massive numbers of foreigners in Sabah has enabled immigrants to determine the nature of the state politics, veteran Sabah politician Wilfred Bumburing said today.

"If you look at the statistical election results in certain constituencies, the presence of illegal immigrants determines the outcome of the election," Wilfred told the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) into immigrants in Sabah in Kota Kinabalu today.

Wilfred (left), who is also Tamparuli assemblyperson, said one example could be discerned in the state constituency of Batu Sapi.

"It is very clear there that the immigrants there have overwhelmed the local voters," he said.

Wilfred, who has been in politics since 1985, said in the past, Muslim bumiputera and non-Muslim bumiputera in Sabah were in equal numbers.

However, this balance has been tilted through the illegal granting of citizenship status to Muslim immigrants.

"Last time the proportion in the state assembly was 20 non-Muslim bumiputera, 20 Muslim bumiputera and eight Chinese.

"Now, it has become 18 non-Muslim bumiputera, 34 Muslim bumiputera and eight Chinese seats," said the former BN politician who is now pro-Pakatan Rakyat.

Wilfred said he had raised this matter when he was the BN's Tuaran MP, but was brushed off by the Home Ministry.

‘Government knows the ICs given illegally'

He then echoed calls from the Sabah-based BN parties, such as PBS and Upko, for all identity cards issued in the state to be revoked and reissued.

However, when pressed by Steve Shim (left), the former chief judge of Sabah and Sarawak who heads the RCI, on a mechanism for such a move, Wilfred insisted that it was the government that had the answer.

"The government knows which identity cards were given illegally.

"If the commission can compel the government to reveal them, then a large part of it is solved," Wilfred said.

However, this did not mean that non-citizens who had stayed in Sabah for decades were to be expelled, he said, adding that they should be given permanent residency while their status was sorted out on a case-by-case basis.

He also submitted a memorandum containing research and evidence on the alleged illegal granting of citizenship to the RCI.

Wilfred, who was Upko deputy president and Tuaran MP, quit Upko last year and gave his backing to Pakatan Rakyat.

He failed to defend his Tuaran seat in last month's general election but won the state seat of Tamparuli.

Ten witnesses took the stand before the RCI today, the third day of the fifth hearing session. A total of 128 witnesses have testified since the hearing began in January.- malaysiakini

Suluk leader claims PKR rep an Indonesian immigrant...

An argument broke out at the hearing of the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah today as a Suluk community leader repeatedly insisted that an opposition state assemblyperson was born in Indonesia.

Mohd Zaki Harry Susanto claimed that although PKR’s Christina Liew (left) was born in Indonesia, she managed to go on to become the Api-Api assemblyperson.

"I got this information from the Indonesians in Tawau, they confirmed that she is Chinese Indonesian, but went on to become a leader of the opposition.

"I brought this up because people only target the Bajaus and Suluks when it comes to the RCI... Don't only target one or two ethnic groups," he said.

At this, one of the RCI's commissioner Henry Chin said he was certain that Liew was born in Tawau, Sabah as he was the OCPD of that district at that time.

"Liew's parents were from Hong Kong and she was born in Tawau, and when they grew up she married an Indonesian.

"Your information is incorrect because I know her family when I served as OCPD of Tawau and I know she was born at Tawau hospital," he said.

Information 'hearsay'

However, Mohd Zaki was adamant that Liew was from Indonesia and had changed her name when she supposedly arrived from Indonesia.

"It could be that she was not born here but her birth certificate was done through late registration.

"I'm bringing this up because the people in Tawau told me," he said.

However, Chin stressed that he had to clarify the fact as Mohd Zaki's information was hearsay.

"You only heard about it, but you cannot verify that information," said Chin.

Liew was elected as Api-Api assemblyperson in last month’s general election and was chosen as the new opposition whip.

Mohd Zaki, who is former secretary-general of Persatuan Rumpun Etnik Suluk Sabah, was queried at the RCI on whether his organisation had helped Suluks in Sabah to illegally obtain citizenship.

However, Mohd Zaki who is also a former police officer, denied this, stating that all of its members were Malaysian citizens.

Asked about the Suluk incursion on Lahad Datu from the Philippines, Mohd Zaki said he was offended as the act had sullied the good name of the Suluks in Sabah.

“When I served as peacekeeper in Timor Leste, I met our Filipino counterpart who did not understand what is ‘Suluk’, they only knew what is ‘Tausugs’.

“The term ‘Suluk’ is only used in Malaysia, in Philippines such people call themselves ‘Tausugs’, so it is clear we Suluks are Malaysians,” he said.

'140k squatters in Sabah'
 
Also taking the stand today was Sabah Local Government and Housing Ministry Planning and Coordination Unit assistant secretary Hadzlan Jablee.

He testified that of February this year, there were a total of 140,499 squatters across Sabah in 35,957 illegal houses.

"The data is 90 percent complete with the exception of seven districts which did not submit data but they have few or no squatter areas," he said.

Hadzlan conceded that the squatter was a magnet for illegal immigrants but said there is a plan to clear the squatters and relocate Malaysian citizens there into public housings.

"But for the non-citizens there we will leave it to other agencies," he said.

A total of 10 witnesses testified at the RCI today and a total of 128 people have taken the stand since hearings began in January.-malaysiakini
