Kota Kinabalu: Borneo Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BoPiMaFo) Chairman Daniel John Jambun described the proposed relaxing of MyKas application requirements for stateless individuals as a dangerous gamble.
The move carries the risks of repeating the ‘Project IC’ scandal and further eroding the State’s demographic integrity, it said, referring to the alleged secretive project by past federal leaders to provide documents to Filipinos and Indonesians in the State.
“Sabah has had enough of institutional failures and any move to lower the bar for identity documentation would re-ignite decades of unresolved immigration controversies,” Daniel reiterated.
It was responding to a proposal by the Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO) on the matter.
