KOTA KINABALU, Aug 5 — Sabah will soon undertake the registration of foreigners in its digitisation project that aims to regulate foreigners in the state in the long run.

"The federal government has discussed the matter and they are ready to transfer the power to the state, this means Sabah will be the one to set up a registration unit that will be given the authority to approve names that will eventually be given cards,” he said, adding that the unit will work under the Chief Minister’s Department’s state internal affairs.

He was speaking to reporters after officiating an Agriculture and Aquaculture expo at the Sabah International Convention Centre here. He also said that despite talks of calling it a"foreigner IC” and other suggestions, no final decision has been made on the card until the complete exercise of the registration.
