KUALA LUMPUR: Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin today assured there would be no double standards in dealing with migrants in Sabah, saying all of them would be given documentation of some sort after a thorough background check.“But what about the Surat Burung-Burung and census papers? Due to human factors, we still need to standardise them all.”

He was responding to Shafie Apdal who had asked if it was right for the ministry to give the IMM13 to those who already held Surat Burung-Burung or census certificates. There are 136,055 holders holders of the IMM13, Surat Burung-Burung and census certificates currently residing in Sabah. For Sabah, he said 9,388 registrations are being processed with the ministry screening these applications to determine their status.
