Sabah BN Citizenship Committee to prepare terms of reference on RCI
KOTA KINABALU April 12, 2012: The Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) Citizenship Committee will prepare the terms of reference on the information and objective for establishing the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) concerning the problems of illegal immigrants in the state.
Its chairman, Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, said he expected the terms of reference to be ready very soon and would present it to the BN top leadership for further action.
"We need to produce within one week the consolidated, coordinated and compiled document attending to the terms of reference which will be submitted to the BN top leadership and Prime Minister," he said at a media conference after chairing the meeting on Thursday.
Pairin, who is also the president of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), said the meeting also called on the federal government to speed up the establishment of the RCI.
Among the guidelines proposed were the law on enforcement and prevention of entry by illegal immigrants, membership of the RCI which would include representatives from all the component parties, and the RCI decision which would take at least six months up to a maximum of two years, said Pairin.
Hopefully the BN Citizenship Committee will be able to finalized the terms of reference for the RCI within the week so that it can be ready for the Prime Minister.

BalasPadamUpko President Tan Sri Bernard Dompok hopes the Royal Commission of Inquiry on illegal immigrants will still be announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
BalasPadamHe said this when asked by the media whether he shared the people's disappointment that Najib came and went without a word on the RCI last week.
BalasPadamDompok said the media should have been the ones to query the Prime Minister about the matter but reporters present told him they were not given the opportunity to do so as no press conference had been arranged for them with Najib.
BalasPadam"Well I have always said that this matter should have been dealt with urgently and I maintain it is my stand, that this is an urgent matter and needs to be attended to, especially since the Cabinet had decided on Feb 8 to go ahead with this.
BalasPadam"I think the Government must expedite the terms of reference and the appointment of the people who should be members of this commission.
BalasPadam"There has been no reversal of Cabinet decision on the matter.
