KOTA KINABALU: The announcement by Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on the issuance of Sabah Temporary Pass (PSS) to foreign nationals has raised concerns among the people, says MCA.
Batu Sapi MCA division chief Datuk Chew Kok Woh said some Sabahans were worried that the issuance of the PSS would eventually lead to an immediate approval of citizenship.
These PSS are expected to be issued to more than 600,000 people, mostly Filipino refugees with the IMM13 , who fled to Sabah in the 1970s, the Burung-Burung Card and the card issued under the Federal Special Task Force census in the 1990s.Some claimed that it was similar to the revival of the previous Project IC to grant foreigners, mainly Filipinos in Sabah, Malaysian citizenship.
“So issuing the PSS, I believe, is only the first step by the Home Ministry, which is constantly finding ways to identify the immigrants in the country,” he said at an event in Batu Sapi, organised by the National Disaster Management Agency to present donations to fire victims.
