Overwhelming 88% of Kota Kinabalu and Penampang voters want RCI to investigate the alleged illegal immigrant issues in Sabah
BANGI, 15 May 2012 – A survey among voters in the constituencies of Kota Kinabalu and Penampang found that 88% of the respondents agreed to the proposal that a royal commission of investigation (RCI) be established to investigate the alleged illegal immigrant issues in Sabah. The support to setup the RCI is high across all segments of voters.
In the same survey, 51% of the respondents felt that that Sabah state was headed in the right direction while 39% thought otherwise. The response across different communities making up the electorate in these two districts varied greatly - 80% Muslim Bumiputra respondents felt Sabah was headed in the right direction, followed by 60% of the Non-Muslim Bumiputra respondents but only 40% of the Chinese respondents. The main reason for right direction is continued economic development and peace and stability in the state. Meanwhile the main reason for those believing the state was headed in the wrong direction was concerns over inflation, poverty and uneven access to development and the large influx of illegal immigrants.
