Be transparent about amnesty programme for illegals: DAP
Kota Kinabalu August 14, 2011: Sabah DAP is suspicious of the timing of the amnesty programme with the 13th General Election right around the corner.
Its Secretary, Dr Edwin Bosi, said as reported in the Daily Express on July 30, 312,837 foreigners were legalised in 2008, followed by another 161,747 in 2009 in Sabah. The latest amnesty, which began in Sabah on July 18, 2011, saw another 157,966 foreigners being legalised.
"Thus, the Government has conceded that there are more than half a million illegal immigrants now legalised in Sabah," he said in a statement, Saturday.
"DAP Sabah is now worried that with the biometric system, the legalised illegal immigrants can be quickly issued with MyKad, assimilated into the society and then registered in the electoral roll.
"The three agencies, namely the Immigration Department, National Registration Department (NRD) and Election Commission (EC), are now under scrutiny by the public," he said.
DAP Sabah wants the three agencies to be transparent in as far as the amnesty programme is concerned.
"We would like the Immigration Department to provide the list of foreigners that have been registered during all the amnesty programmes to ensure that they are not legalised as citizens and, most importantly, not entered into the electoral roll.
"In this information technology age, this list can easily be uploaded into the Internet and serves as reference for those interested to follow up with the progress of the amnesty programmes.
"In this manner, the employers will also benefit as they will be able to track down or be made aware of the position of the workers who are seeking employment," he said.
DAP Sabah is not surprised if these people were distributed around the country.
He claimed they can be distributed as postal voters and placed in constituencies where certain leaders can be politically secured, or to all the Pakatan Rakyat controlled states.
"These people do not have to be physically present at the polling stations.
With the biometric system, only Election Commission officials are involved in verifying the MyKad holders.
"So, any person can be given the MyKad and vote. He or she can also vote several times as long as the MyKads have been entered into the electoral roll and listed for the particular polling stations," he said.
"DAP Sabah plans to have video recordings of all the polling stations in this coming election.
If our theory is right, we will be able to video the same persons voting several times in the same or different polling stations.
"We will be extra vigilant this time around. With the evidence caught on videotapes, we will be able to take the Election Commission to task," he said.
"There is so much suspicion on the EC by the people in general.
The onus is on the EC to show that they are fair and transparent.
The EC must seriously consider the eight demands from an NGO, Bersih," he said.
DAP Sabah appeals to all genuine Sabahans who have not registered to quickly get themselves registered as voters.
Agree that more transparency is needed.
BalasPadamHope that the Amnesty program will successfully eradicate illegal immigrants.
BalasPadamprogram ini akan dilanjutkan lagi, harap ia benar2 mencapai sasaran.
BalasPadampati perlu menggunakan peluang ini untuk pulang ke negara mereka ketika program pengampunan.
BalasPadamharap program ini akan mengatasi masalah pati yang berlaku selama ini.
BalasPadamBe transparent and say no to manipulation!
BalasPadamDiharap mereka yang bertanggungjawab menguruskan perkara2 ini, telus dalam kerja mereka.
BalasPadamhope the EC can carry out their duties in a fair and transparent in the upcoming GE
BalasPadamharap 'phantom voters' tidak timbul di PRU-13
BalasPadamPATI yang mempunyai MyKad secara haram patut dikenakan siasatan dan undang2 oleh pihak berkuasa kerana mereka memang tidak layak diberi kuasa mengundi.
BalasPadambagaimana dengan isu 600 mesin biometrik yang telah diubahsuai sewaktu program pendaftaran dijalankan? tidak hairan jika penyelewengan berlaku pada PRU nanti.
BalasPadamharap tiada antara warga asing yang didaftarkan dalam program 5P ini digunakan sebagai pengundi semasa pilihan raya. hanya rakyat yang layak mengundi.
BalasPadamharap pihak kerajaan dapat kemenangan di PRU-13 dengan cara bersih dan adil

semoga DAP berjaya menangkap mereka yang menipu..
Harap2 semuanya berlansung dengan jayanya.
BalasPadamThe only thing that bothers me is that, are illegals gone?
BalasPadamvideo recoding? Hope DAP will successful.
BalasPadamApa yang kita mahu sekarang ini adalah untuk memastikan masalah PATI ini dapat ditangani sebaiknya. Program pengampunan ini mungkin berkesan, harap PATI akan memberikan kerjasama dalam program ini.
BalasPadamKritikan harus diterima dengan terbuka.
BalasPadamPRU pasti berlangsung tidak lama lagi. Jadi SPR berikan perkhidmatan yang terbaik dan jujur.
BalasPadamdon't worry...govt is transparent about amnesty programme for illegals..
BalasPadamSPR menjalankan tugas mereka dengan adil dan amanah..jika tidak, masakan DAP menang di penang..
BalasPadamwalaupun begitu, harus dipastikan tiada berlaku penipuan pada masa pilihanraya..
kerajaan negeri sedang berusaha menyelesaikan masalah PATI melalui program 5P..diharapkan program ini akan berjaya..
BalasPadamThat is why it takes time to complete this, don't rush or else there are mistakes and troubles.
BalasPadamHope for the best now..
BalasPadamapa sahaja usaha dipihak kerajaan, pasti ada pihak yang cuba memberikan gambaran negatif.. mungkin mereka2 ini takut dengan adanya usaha penyelesaian seperti ini, rakyat akan kembali meletakkan keyakinan mereka terhadap parti pemerintah.. kenapa DAP tidak membantu menyelesaikan masalah ini?
BalasPadambagi pembangkang, samada kerajaan bertindak atau tidak, mereka tetap akan bising. mungkin lebih baik jika DAP dan Dr Edwin Bosi berada di setiap lokasi pendaftaran untuk melihat sendiri bagaimana mereka melakukan kerja mereka dan memantau jika wujud situasi seperti yang DAP gambarkan..
BalasPadam"We would like the Immigration Department to provide the list of foreigners that have been registered during all the amnesty programmes to ensure that they are not legalised as citizens and, most importantly, not entered into the electoral roll."
BalasPadamTo be honest to these, I really see no harm to provide the list of registered foreigners to ensure those list are not in the electoral roll.
Memang setuju untuk lebih "transparent" dan "Berbuka" terhadap senarai PATI and Phantom Voters tersebut demi PRU yang adil dan bersih. Apa salahnya?
BalasPadamSejak bila masalah PATI dan Phantom Voters ini terjadi-jadi. Semoga program 6P dijalan dengan lancar dan masalah dapat diselesaikan cepat. Menantikan PRU yang adil dan amanah.

Great idea from DAP. Certainly a good idea about video recording but these going to be very costly? Any suggestion should accept and to study its pro and con whether it is good to implement.
Isu 600 mesin biometrik yang telah diubahsuai sewaktu program pendaftaran dijalankan?
BalasPadamBetul ke ini berlaku? Memang tidak terjangka. Semoga semua taktik kotor boleh diselesaikan secepat mungkin, kami harapkan PRU yang adil dan bersih.
The exercise has been done. Whats next?
BalasPadamSemoga Sabah akan bebas dari belenggu PTI.
