"People in Sabah and Malaysian as a whole are under the impression that something is being hidden from them and they are demanding an explanation," he said in a statement on Monday. He feared the people in Sabah would express their objection in the next general election if the Home Ministry continue to deny the call. The continued denial by the Home Minister over this issue is mocking the intelligence of Malaysians in Sabah. "Surely the Government must have realised the severity and security of the State is at stake.

"This is especially so when someone holding a Malaysian IC recently daringly declared himself as Sultan of another country. Surely this serious enough for the government to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry," he said. Bumburing said that during the previous Parliamentary sitting, he handed over to the Home Ministry a memorandum that contain proof of foreigners who have managed to obtained Malaysian ICs and subsequently register as voters and joined Malaysian political parties.
