KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) described the government\u2019s move to implement the Regularization programme and Recalibration of Work Force Programme as a good plan, if it doesn\u2019t facilitate the illegal immigrants to get a legal document that would enable them to apply for Malaysian citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PBS Vice President, Datuk Johnny Mositun said that the government must be strict and practice its due diligence when implementing the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPBS is sensitive to the complaints of Sabahans who do not want Sabah to be flooded by illegal immigrants and do not want the illegal immigrants to use the programme as a \u2018rats trail\u2019 or means to stay permanently in Sabah,\u201d said Johnny in a statement today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last night, Local Government and Housing Minister, Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun was quoted saying that the State government is in the process of implementing the Regularization Programme and Recalibration of Work Force Programme to manage and coordinate illegal immigrants to acquire legal work documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Masidi said that the programme will be implemented with the cooperation of the Malaysia Immigration Department in Sabah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issuance of the document however depends on the requisite whereby the illegal immigrants must own a passport issued by their own country and they must belong to countries that allow them to work in Sabah; as well as fulfill other conditions as stated by the Immigration Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
