Kota Kinabalu: Star Sabah Chief Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan questioned why there were no investigations despite numerous reports on fake ICs and MyKad issued not in accordance with the law as well as enrolment of illegal voters in the electoral rolls.He said while the MACC and police investigations on fake and dubious Native Certificates are welcomed and long overdue, they should focus on and investigate fake Ics and MyKads issued not in accordance with the law.

The Federal Government, Home Ministry, police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) owed not just Sabahans but all Malaysians an explanation for having taken no action in investigating the various police reports lodged after the release of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) Report on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah last December, he said.

The police reports included those lodged by Barisan Nasional component parties.

Dr Jeffrey, who is also Bingkor Assemblyman, said the RCI Report specifically found that there were ICs and MyKad issued not in accordance with the law and that ineligible foreigners were unlawfully entered into the electoral rolls.

He said ordinary Malaysians have to bear the brunt of these illegal citizens and voters who keep appearing in daily life with fake Sabah ICs and fake Sabahans appearing in Malaya, some caught committing crimes.

In Sabah, even the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) has acknowledged that some were enemies within and involved in cross-border kidnappings and other crimes.

"It is only a matter of time before fake Sabah ICs and fake Sabahans appear on a wider scale to haunt other Malaysians in Malaya.

"When will the Federal government and the police start their investigations and resolve the problem?" Dr Jeffrey asked.
