Tuan Yang Dipertua,

I have asked a question about the racial composition in Sabah in the Parliament, and below is the answer that I received from PM’s Department. From the answer attached below, it is interesting to read that the government has divided the ethnic groups in Sabah in a few categories, the dubious one is “Other Bumiputera”(Bumiputera lain) which composed 19.5% and “other ethnics” (Lain-lain Etnik) which has 6.4% of the population in Sabah. If we add up the these two categories, it is 25.9% of the total population.

If we look at the percentage of “non citizen” in Sabah, it is 24.9%, which is very close to the total figure of “other Bumiputera” and “other ethnics”. This means the government has tried to hide the existence of thousands of migrants and illegal Filipino and Indonesian migrants in Sabah, and put them under the categories of “Other Bumiputera” and “Other ethnics”.

In view of the fact that the government has recognized that there is about 25% of the population in Sabah are non-citizen, it is high time for the government to address the issue of how to deal with the long over-due problem of migrants in Sabah, as well as the f thousands who have become fake MyKad holders and registered voters in Sabah.

Deputy IGP Datuk Musa Hassan has said that the Bukit Aman will set up a task force to investigate the allegation of rampant fake MyKad holders in Sabah. If the police can nap the syndicate behind the production of fake MyKad and identify the fake MyKad holders, will the government evict them from the land of Sabah and subsequently delete their names from the electoral roll, as a step to clean up the electoral roll and return justice to the people in Sabah?
