‘Aye’ to fast track documents, but...
Majimbun said it is the position of the law that the powers to verify documents relating to identity card registrations are outside the purviews of the Native Courts provided under the Native Courts Enactment 1992. 
Kota Kinabalu: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) agrees to the proposed fast-track lane mechanism via the procurement of mobile registration trucks to cater for the National Registration Department’s outreach programmes to rural areas in Sabah. 

Commenting on the issue, its Supreme Council member Datuk William Majimbun, however, said they reserve some concerns and also provided further recommendation over the mechanism.

He was responding to Parti Warisan’s  proposal for the creation of a fast-track lane for late MyKad application in the State and the involvement of the Native Courts as a solution to solve the issue of undocumented Sabahans in rural areas.

“Preliminarily, we must distinguish between ‘late MyKad applicants or undocumented children of Malaysian parents’ and the ‘undocumented illegal immigrants residing in Sabah’,” he said.
