Kota Kinabalu: Consumer Association of Sabah and Labuan (Cash) said Kimanis MP Datuk Anifah Aman's move to table a motion to set up a Parliament Select Committee (PCS) was unacceptable as previous such committees had failed despite their noble intention.
Its President Datuk Patrick Sindu said the previous PCS on Integrity had been unsuccessful in its attempt to address the identity cards issue when officers from the National Registration Department and Immigration Department refused to attend the hearings.
"So, how would Anifah guarantee the PSC on Sabah problems, as proposed, would comprise only MPs from Sabah when the BN Government and its departments and agencies in Sabah had failed to address all the promises made in 1994 after four general elections," he said in a statement, Sunday.
He claimed that the move to reject the formation of a Royal Commission of Inquiry by DAP Advisor Lim Kit Siang in Parliament recently was an act of "sabotage".
Most of the people in Sabah, he said, based on a Cash signature campaign last year, wanted a Royal Commission of Inquiry to be set up so that the root cause and the mother of all Sabah's woes can be resolved.
Cash, he said, hoped all MPs would be supportive of the motion to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry, adding there is also a need to set up several Royal Commissions of Inquiry to look into major crises affecting Sabah.
