Recognise Indonesians, Filipinos as Malaysians – Umno leader
KOTA KINABALU May 7, 2012: Filipinos and Indonesians who came to Sabah before the State’s independence on August 31, 1963 should be accepted as Malaysian citizens, according to Umno Sepanggar divisional head Datuk Jumat Idris.
He also said that everyone should endear the fact that the different races and ethnicities in Sabah exist together harmoniously.
“We admit there are many Sabahans whose parents were originally from The Philippines and Indonesia. They have different accents prompting many of us to judge them as illegal immigrants.
“We can’t just simply pull out their tongues to speak like us because that is their culture and that is how they talk among their brothers and sisters. I think Sabahans should start accepting these people and recognise them as Malaysians,” Jumat said at the launching of a ‘Juara Rakyat’ programme at Kampung Kuala Menggatal yesterday.
He said the people should accept the multi-racial concept practised in Sabah ever since time immemorial which had prompted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to laud Sabah as an exemplar of the 1 Malaysia concept.
Describing the demands by the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) for free and fair electoral process as no longer relevant and overtaken by events, Jumat said the demand for the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate into the huge presence of illegal immigrants in Sabah would suffice and the matter had been raised by a BN component party in Sabah, the United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) under the leadership of Tan Sri Bernard Dompok.
He commented this as a reflection of sincerity of BN as a responsible government and the component parties within the coalition would carry out the necessary checks and balances without succumbing to any pressure mounted by the opposition.
Those who are already in Sabah before the independence in 1963 would be pretty old by now. I assumed they are still holding red IC?
BalasPadamthis has become a very serious issue, just accept the fact we are Filipinos too? no way..
PadamApakah tindakan terhadap golongan yang masih tiada Mykad?
PadamIn my opinion, those who are already here for so long, they already assumed they are Sabahans. We cannot undo those who already enter Sabah, but we could still focus on preventing anymore of the illegals from entering our states in the future.
BalasPadamwe must kick hem out or else they will think we welcome them to Malaysia.
PadamPATI harus diusir keluar daripada sabah..
Padami really accept it, we'll all be Filipinos by then!!!!!
BalasPadamSabah will be colonized by the Philippines sooner or later, we can't escape that if we dnt wanna be a part of Malaysia.
BalasPadamkalau PATI/PATAI tidak segera diusir keluar dari sabah...lebih malang kita memang 'sudah' dikolonikan oleh pilipina dengan kemasukkan ramai PATI dan juga PATAI..
Padamkalau sebelum 1963 mungkin rakyat sabah tiada masalah..tetapi bagaimana pula dengan mereka yang datang selepas 1963? mereka inilah yang harus disingkirkan daripada demografi sabah.
BalasPadamyang rakyat sabah mahukan adalah penubuhan RCI untuk menyiasat projek IC di sabah..
BalasPadamya..harap RCI akan menyelesaikan isu pati secara menyeluruh.
Padamkalau pendatang asing, pendatang asing lah bah...tidak payah samakan dengan rakyat sabah tulen..sebagai rakyat sabah tulen, kita berhak mempertahankan hak dan kepentingan kita serta kedaulatan negeri sabah..
BalasPadamI just can't wait for the TOR to be presented. I get some information about what is TOR, if you all got time please visit to my blog.

kalau sebelum merdeka mereka menetap di Malaysia, itu tak jadi hal, mereka dah jadi sebahagian dari Malaysia. tapi mereka kena tanamkan kesetiaan kepada Malaysia.
BalasPadamMereka yang layak saja akan diterima sebagai rakyat M'sia.
BalasPadamya..mereka yang benar-benar layak saja di terima sebagai rakyat Malaysia.
PadamTidak boleh juga terima bulat2. Harus disiasat betul2.
BalasPadamya..pekara ini harus disiasat dan diteliti dengan sedalamnya.
PadamSiapakah yang layak menjadi warga negara sebenarnya?
BalasPadamPATI harus dihantar balik.
BalasPadamya, semua pati harus dihantar balik.
PadamLatar belakang harus disiasat.
BalasPadammemang wajar disiasat mereka yang mendapat kerakyatan secara meragukan.
Padammereka yang mendapat IC secara meragukan harus disiasat.
BalasPadamMereka yang memenuhi syarat saja yang layak mendapat hak sebagai kewargenaraan Malaysia.
BalasPadamkalau layak berdasarkan peruntukkan dalam undang2 kewarganegaraan, layaklah dia dapat taraf kerakyatan Malaysia.. kalau tidak, baik Datuk Jumat Idris diam saja..
