Kota Kinabalu: Former Chief Minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee said the reckless actions of Philippine politicians to put Sabah in the map of the republic’s passport is extremely provocative and will only make it very difficult for Philippine citizens to come to Malaysia.He said the Malaysian immigration authorities must not stamp these passports of Filipinos coming to Malaysia because to do so could mean recognition of the Philippines’ claim to Sabah.

“As for Filipino citizens who are illegally in Sabah, they will have more reasons to not carry a Philippine passport. They will prefer to possess Malaysian residency papers. This will provoke Malaysians and anger Sabahans.
