Sabah DCM tells Immigration to explain dubious documents issue

Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Wilfred Madius Tangau after a meeting with Sabah entrepreneurs, who will be going on a trade mission to China, at his office in Kota Kinabalu today.

These documents, together with the IMM13 issued to refugees, will be replaced by the Pas Sementara Sabah , or Sabah Temporary Pass, in June next year, as announced by Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin last week.“We wish to hear their explanation on the status as well as validity of these documents, the ‘kad burung-burung’ and census certificate, which were issued by the previous government.

Muhyiddin said the PSS would help to streamline the monitoring and enforcement process, adding that enforcement bodies such as the Immigration Department were having difficulties in enforcing the law because of the various types of documents held by foreigners in Sabah currently. Meanwhile, the Sabah Law Society said it supported the introduction of the PSS, calling it a “bold and progressive initiative” by the federal and state governmentsIts president Roger Chin said this was a step in the right direction towards regulating and eventually resolving the perennial issue of irregular or undocumented migrants problem in Sabah.

“In this respect, the process and criteria for obtaining the PSS must be discussed with all relevant stakeholders in a transparent and accountable manner,” he said.
