Wikileaks dalam pendedahannya yang dimuatkan dalam portal Malaysia Today hari ini berdasarkan satu kabel rahsia, mendedahkan bahawa pendatang dari Filipina adalah sinonim dengan masaalah sosial yang tercetus di Sabah.
WikiLeaks juga telah mendedahkan bahawa dalam satu skim yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 90-an, UMNO telah memberikan kerakyatan Malaysia dan hak mengundi kepada lebih 600,000 warga asing.
Kebanyakannya mereka adalah umat Islam dari Mindanao dan Indonesia, sebagai balasan warga asing tersebut perlulah mengundi BN dalam pilihan raya Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Sabah.
Project Mahathir
Samson and another PBS state assemblyman, Ching Eng Leong, told US officials that the large number of native Filipinos in Sabah can be attributed to a program hatched by dominant political party UMNO. Under the scheme implented in the 1990s, UMNO gave Malaysian citizenship and voting rights to over 600,000 foreigners, predominantly Muslims from Mindanao and Indonesia, in return for their votes in Sabah's state assembly elections.
"UMNO's control was further solidified during the 1999 state election, as UMNO granted more foreigners citizenship and voting rights under what came to be known as 'Project Mahathir,'" the US embassy cable revealed, in apparent reference to then-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
According to a probe made by Suhakam on Project Mahathir, Sabah's legal resident population increased 362% to 2.6 million from 1970 to 2000.
"This substantial increase in Sabah's legal residents excludes an influx of over 750,000 foreigners holding invalid identity cards and visas - or no documents at all - according to Suhakam," the cable added.
"Filipinos and Indonesians move easily -- and often illegally -- between Sabah and their respective home countries," it said.
In its analysis of Sabah's problems with Filipinos, the US embassy said a significant reduction in Sabah's foreign-born population could only be reversed through an UMNO-led effort to round up and deport the foreigners, whom Sabah's economy ironically relies upon.
"While Malaysia periodically launches campaigns to expel illegal workers, even PBS' leaders concede this is highly unlikely to be carried out to the point of seriously harming the state's economy," it said. "The US Border Control Assessment Initiative (BCAI) focused on the Sulu and Sulawesi sea areas of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines will enhance our understanding of the security challenges facing Sabah and ways we can assist."
The Philippines has a dormant claim on Sabah that was not resolved by the Manila Accord, or the United Nations Treaty No. 8029 between the Philippines the Federation of Malaya, and Indonesia, that was signed in July 31, 1963 and the succeeding exchange of notes between Manila and Kuala Lumpur in February 7, 1966.
Former Presidents Diosdado Macapagal and Ferdinand Marcos pursued the Philippines' claim on the territory but those who succeeded them did not do so. The dispute resulted in the 1968 Jabidah Massacre that was exposed by the late Sen. Ninoy Aquino, father of President Benigno Aquino III, according to Malacañang. Baca seterusnya di sini.
