Reported in the Daily Express 17 January 2013
NRD Deputy Director Nik Norashikin Nik Mansur said 66,682 people in Sabah received Malaysian citizenship between 1964 to October 2012. She added that 38,000 were from Malaysia, 13,000 from China, 7,000 from Indonesia, while the rest were from the Philippines, Hong Kong and other countries. Those from Malaysia were born in Malaysia.
Those from China was a bit of a surprise. My British friend who had stayed in this country for almost three decades applied for permanent residence a number of times but to no avail. He passed away some five years ago and became permanent resident in Sabah, as dead as a doornail.
If what the opposition say about the government unlawful exercise to increase Muslim population is true, it seems absurd that the government also give to non-Muslim nationals from other countries.
Many countries give citizenship to immigrants who meet the requirement and abide by the law of the land. Knowing how to speak the local language is a must before citizenship is accorded to the person concerned. Many of the immigrants who had stayed here a few decades can speak better Malay than many local Chinese and Indians that have been here a few generations. Even those from China who have been here just a few years speak better Bahasa than some Malaysian Chinese.
Malaysia also hosted the highest number of Chinese nationals compared to other nationals in its "Malaysia My Second Home" program and surprisingly some have pick up the language faster than some local Chinese.
I was amazed by a Chinese girl from China who was selling some Chinese goods at Wisma Merdeka a while back. She spoke fluent Bahasa Melayu, addressing her customers as abang, pakchik, kakak and so forth. I suppose one have to make an effort when it comes to survival.
As Mahathir said there is nothing wrong in giving immigrants citizenship as long as they meet the requirement. The U.S and many European countries give out citizenship every year to qualified immigrants.
It was also reported that some 128,000 dubious ICs was issued over a period, but after government investigation a total of 91,656 were found to be fake and had been cancelled. Actions had been taken against some NRD officers including invoking the ISA on them for selling ICs to illegal immigrants.
Obviously, these rouge officers, either were making use of government apparatus to do illicit business or taking instructions from their superiors to do the malfeasance to diddle Sabahans of their democratic rights.
Some good are coming out of the RCI and PM Najib should be lauded for his effort to find out the truth.
The RCI is getting exciting each day and a boon for crooks, liars, opportunists and honest-to-goodness witnesses sharing the limelight of the unconscionable blame game.
I hope those involved in falsifying and issuing of ICs and tempering with the electoral rolls would be severely punished, irrespective of their positions, be they ministers, NRD officers or EC officers.
The skewed and lopsided pro-opposition news portal and blogs as usual only reported the negatives outcome and censored anything positive of the government. - Hantu Laut
NAMPAKNYA puak-puak Pakatan Haram ini tidak pernah puas kalau mereka tidak menipu sehari dalam hidup mereka, seolah-oleh menipu itu merupakan satu “makanan ruji” yang wajib mereka lakukan.
ReplyDeleteKalau tak menipu, bukan Pakatan Haram namanya, bukan?
ReplyDeleteBegitulah yang terjadi mengenai fitnah Pakatan Haram yang cuba menabur persepsi jahat dengan menuduh Kerajaan BN mengarahkan agar kad-kad pengenalan yang tidak dituntut di bawa ke Sabah untuk diberikan kepada pendatang tanpa izin untuk mengundi BN.
Antara mereka yang bertanggungjawab menyemai syubhah fitnah itu ialah Ahli Parlimen Pokok Sena merangkap Naib Presiden PAS, Mahfuz Omar, dan portal yang tidak serik-serik disaman, portal pro-Pakatan Haram, Malaysiakini.com.
ReplyDeleteDalam kenyataan Pengarah Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN), Datuk Jariah telah mendedahkan bahawa terdapat lima fakta yang sangat meragukan dari sekeping surat pekeliling yang dicanang keliling kampung oleh Mahfuz dan Malaysiakini.
Kononnya, surat tersebut merupakan bukti sahih, berkreadibiliti dan ampuh! Padahal, surat itu terbukti palsu, sama palsunya dengan fitnah yang ditohmah Mahfuz dan portal yang gemar menyiarkan cerita-cerita karut marut itu.
ReplyDeleteMenurut Datuk Jariah, kepala surat pada dokumen itu sangat meragukan kerana ia jelas menggunakan alamat dari Bahagian Pengurusan IT dan komunikasi. Apa ke jadahnya Bahagian Pengurusan IT dan Komunikasi yang beri arahan begitu? Pelik bukan?
ReplyDeleteMengejutkan lagi, beliau menegaskan bahawa tajuk nombor rujukan yg digunakan pada surat ditangan Mahfuz itu tertera kod “JPN.MK.(S)” dan ia dikenalpasti bukan nombor rujukan arahan Jabatan berkaitan.
ReplyDeleteTambahan pula, arahan Jabatan Bil.14/2012 juga sebenarnya tidak wujud sebagaimana yang tertulis di atas surat itu dan bukti menunjukkan bahawa arahan terakhir dikeluarkn JPN adalah “Arahan Bil.10/2012” yang melibatkan mengenai “Pindaan kepada Arahan JPN Bil.9/2007”
ReplyDeleteSelain itu, Arahan Jabatan di dalam surat itu juga tidak ditandatangani oleh Pengarah Bahagian serta tiada sebarang catatan “bagi pihak” sebagaimana kebiasaannya.
ReplyDeleteDan keraguan juga dikesan apabila cetakan nama kementerian yang terletak di kaki surat tersebut merujuk kepada Kementerian Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri! Padanlah Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussien awal-awal lagi mengesahkannya sebagai surat palsu!
ReplyDeletePeliknya, siapa sebenarnya yang membuat onar mereka-reka surat palsu itu? Saya yakin, pihak Kerajaan BN tidak pernah terfikir untuk melakukan fitnah bodoh sebegitu melainkan puak-puak Pakatan Haram.
ReplyDeleteAntara standard modus operandi mereka ialah mencipta “bukti palsu”, menuduh kerajaan BN dengan fitnah jahat dan mereka mendesak para pemimpin BN untuk menjawab segala tohmahan yang mereka lakukan.
ReplyDeleteSkrip fitnah mereka sudah boleh dihafal memandangkan sudah ramai pemimpin BN yang sudah menjadi mangsa tohmahan jahat puak-puak Pakatan Haram ini, termasuk Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan isterinya, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Seri Najib dikaitkan dengan mendiang Altantuya Sharibuu dan Datin Seri Rosmah pula dikaitkan dengan isu cincin berlian. Walaupun dah berkali-kali melafazkan sumpah dengan bersaksikan Allah, puak-puak Pakatan Haram tetap meneruskan fitnah tersebut dengan bangga!
ReplyDeleteMungkin itulah nasibnya bila menjadi pemimpin kerajaan di akhir zaman. Para pemimpin yang bersih pun akan dilemparkan dengan tuduhan-tuduhan palsu demi memuaskan nafsu mengejar kuasa politik di dunia.
ReplyDeleteOrang Islam yang sepatutnya bersatu, telah dipisahkan kerana fahaman politik singkat. Kononnya, bersahabat dengan syaitan pun “dihalalkan” demi menjatuhkan BN. Malah mereka lebih sanggup bersekutu dengan “syaitan-syaitan” pula. Islam ajar begitu, kah?-mykmu
