2009 Jan 9 - All refugees in Sabah actually illegals
All refugees in Sabah actually
illegals, says Suhakam
 Kota
Kinabalu (Jan 9, 2009): All refugees in Sabah are actually illegal
immigrants too because Malaysia is neither a party to the United
Nations Convention on the status of the refugees in 1951 nor the
Protocol 1967, according to Suhakam.
Its Vice-Chairman,
Tan Sri Simon Sipaun made the assertion when commenting on the
recent report in The Borneo Post about the displaced
Indonesians who number 12,000 and Filipinos who number 81,000, who
were given the IMM13 card that allows them to live and work in Sabah
in 1965, 1970s and 1985 until today.
"I understand the
IMM13 cards were issued in Sabah, but why? The Government started to
issue them to the Rohingyas in Peninsular but quickly aborted it.
Why the double standard?" he asked.
"It's a national
problem and IMM13 cards were issued by the Federal Government. Why
are the refugees confined to Sabah?" he asked, referring to the
IMM13 condition that the refugees could only be allowed to earn
their living and reside in Sabah, and not Peninsular Malaysia.
"The Vietnamese
refugees were all gone after two years. How come that in Sabah, the
refugees are still here?"
Currently, the
majority of the foreigners with refugee status have been living in
Sabah for over 35 years, and there is no limit to the length of
their stay, while their of their stay, while their children or
teenagers are allowed to attend both primary and secondary schools
in the State.
