TAWAU, Jan 26 (Bernama) -- All quarters, including the opposition
should welcome the setting up the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on
illegal immigrants in Sabah, said Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohd
Shafie Apdal.
He said the government had taken a bold step to set up the RCI following hue and cry over problems related to citizenship and immigrants in Sabah raised by many quarters, including the opposition.
"After RCI was formed, opposition parties are against it, instead of welcoming it. Certainly, RCI can have positive and negative impacts. In the course of investigations, definitely we have pros and cons.
"But the most important thing is the firmness and courage displayed by our leaders, particularly Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, in setting up RCI.
"Even though we know this is an election season and that RCI might be turned into an issue. But we are after solution so that there will be no more confusion and manipulation by unscrupulous people," he told reporters after opening the Tun Mustapha Mara Junior Science Colleges here Saturday.
Shafie, who is also rural and regional development minister, said the RCI would submit its findings to the authorities before they would be tabled in Parliament to resolve the quagmire.
