PRESS RELEASE by Joshua Y. C.Kong    2nd November, 2012

RCI Coaliton to be set upurgently.

Iwould suggest we set up a Coalition with a committee to monitor proper conductof the RCI on Dubious Citizens in Sabah.and to mobilize the resources we haveas a group fully focused to have a master stroke to put this crisis to restonce and for all.

Wehave this crisis too long for few decades and this RCIC can assist the RCI toperform faster and more effective as time is vital in resolving this within thesix months to come up with a worthy comprehensive report not like the previousone done by the Parliament Select Committee which never saw the light inParliament.

Thereis no glory individually if some small groups to be witnesses and we could berepetition as this has been in many similar forums done for awareness.

With48 individuals or groups identified presently and we do not who they are andthey can turn out to be “Trojan Horses” to thwart the effort of the RCI in thelittle time left for a proper hearing and then the final report could bewatered down as the ‘guilty’ Government and some questioned  ministers had been seen to make fabricatedstatements.

Todo true justice and for concerned Sabahans not to be missed out due to timeconstraint in the last months of the six months periods as allocated with thelooming General Elections 13 although extension is permissible, we don’t wantthe RCI be a sideshow of the GE 13 which must be held in June 2013 with theElectoral Rolls Cleansed of project IC holders as voters especially in Sabahimpacting the national Government post GE13.

SoRCI Coalition would in unity like Bersih 2 or even Bersih 3 (Sabah)in massive show of positive action to start working now to monitor the RCI inaccordance with the Commissions of Enquiry Act 1950 Act 119.

Sinceit is expected to be in the OPEN court, seats would be limited and the RCICoalition of concerned NGOs and individuals should maximize its effort tomobilize all resources to be very effective witnesses, not to be rejected orset aside as in any Court cases.   

While14th January 2013 may seem a lot of time, we need to meet as soon aspossible in November in a small group to lay the ground work for RCIC.  Please contact me on 013-8394513 or [email protected].
