The Minister of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government (KPKT) Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan has asked the people of Sabah to stop pointing fingers on matters regarding the issuance of identity cards to foreigners.
He told the people of Sabah to concentrate on more important matters. “For 30 years we have been trying to identify those responsible for the action and the time has come for Sabahans to focus on more important matters in finding solutions. As an example, how can we further tighten procedures in obtaining identity cards and issuing citizenship to foreigners?” he told a press conference this Thursday. “Of course, we must embrace the findings of the RCI (Royal Commission of Inquiry) on Sabah illegal immigrants in its entirety. However, in moving forward, Sabahans will also need to do their part. Without knowing it, we have been part of the problem, too. For example, Sabahans must rise to the challenge of moving away from the false comfort of hiring illegal foreign cheap labour. We complain of their existence but have no qualms giving them jobs because of the cheap labour cost they bring to the table,” the Borneo Post quoted the Minister.
“I know that hiring Malaysians will raise the cost of doing business because of higher salaries demanded. Higher cost means higher prices for selected products and services. But it is a sacrifice worth doing in order to achieve long-term gains. More locals hired mean less foreigners employed,” he pointed out.
