Published on: Wednesday, December 07, 2011
Kota Kinabalu: A Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leader Dr Chong Eng Leong asked if all the Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties except for Umno that have been calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) were also seeking political mileage."Who is seeking political mileage on this issue? How about your six Sabah BN components (PBS, Upko, LDP, PBRS, MCA and Gerakan) who are also so keen on this issue? "Tan Sri Bernard Dompok had twice last month openly said that it was meaningless for Upko to be represented in the Federal Cabinet if this RCI is not set up.

"Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan had stated four times in one week last month with a hoarse voice that this RCI must be set up by 2012," said Dr Chong who is the PKR Sabah Security, Immigration and Electoral Reform Bureau Chief.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.

He was commenting on the criticism by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman that PKR adviser, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was merely seeking political mileage when stating that the Pakatan Rakyat agreed that the perennial illegal immigrant issue in Sabah could only be resolved with the setting up of an RCI on illegal immigrants, Project IC and phantom voters. "Yes, now all Sabah BN components want this RCI except for Umno, why?" asked Dr Chong.
