Suaram today called on the Sabah Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to subpoena Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim in its ongoing probe into illegal immigrants.
Suaram adviser Kua Kia Soong said the RCI “must spare no effort” in revealing how citizenships had been given out clandestinely to illegal immigrants and refugees under the Mahathir administration.
Anwar was then in charge of Sabah operations.
“This RCI on immigrants in Sabah is an invaluable opportunity for us all to uncover the black operations behind elections in Malaysia,” Kua said in a statement.
“The perpetrators of this electoral deceit must be brought to justice,” he added, reiterating the need for the RCI to subpoena Dr M and Anwar.
Kua then claimed the current Najib administration had only acceded to Sabahans’ demands for an RCI for political mileage ahead of the 13th general election.
“The RCI had been demanded by Sabahans for years… Umno just couldn’t evade their demand anymore,” he said.
“Sabahans have had it up to there. And that is why (Najib) had to accede to their demand for a RCI if he was to try and keep his ‘fixed deposit’ in Sabah,” he added.
Implement recommendations
Kua cautioned the failure of the RCI to bring this inquiry to a satisfactory conclusion “will forever bring into question the legitimacy of elections in Malaysia”.
