Just days before the Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is to announce the government’s decision on the proposal to establish a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah given citizenship and rights to vote, Pakatan Rakyat demanded that the RCI cover not just the land below the wind but the whole nation.
“We urge the government to establish (the RCI) immediately and don’t limit it to just Sabah because this is a national issue,” said PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim during a press conference at PKR headquarters after chairing the Pakatan leadership council meeting.
The opposition coalition also wanted the authorities to verify the citizenship and voting rights of those dubious voters before calling the next general election.
It was reported that Najib is expected to make the much-awaited announcement with regard to the federal cabinet’s decision on the RCI during his next visit to Sabah, slated for two days beginning on Feb 16.
According to Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Maximus Ongkili, the recent cabinet meeting had discussed the issue in detail.
