KOTA KINABALU: PBS Supreme Council Member Dr Chong Eng Leong Thursday lauded the statement by Papar MP Rosnah Shirlin that drastic State-Federal approaches are needed to tackle the continued flow of illegal immigrants and so-called refugees into Sabah.

"This shows that Sabah UMNO is starting to respond to other State BN Components' repeated calls to address this issue. Perhaps it is not too late to salvage our beloved Sabah from further decay into oblivion by the ever increasing number of foreigners in Sabah, especially with Sabah UMNO's assistance," he said.

Rosnah made the call in support of Penampang MP Donald Mojuntin's statement on the issue.

She had concurred with him on the need for the Government to review its policy on the IMM13 holders or so-called refugees as well as immigration issues which had been raised many times in Parliament and local newspapers.

Calling on all Sabah MPs and Senators to be united in one voice, Dr Chong said they should plead this concern in every parliamentary sitting. "After all there is nothing more noble than protecting our sovereignity," he added.
