Sabah RCI says there is ‘probability’ that Projek IC existed
KOTA KINABALU, Dec 3 — The Sabah Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) has found reason to believe that the controversial “Projek IC” citizenship-for-votes initiative may have existed, based on testimonies from several witnesses during its hearing last year.
According to the report released today, the royal panel said five witnesses had spoken on the initiative, leading it to conclude that there is a “probability” that the project was real.
“Based on the testimonies of five witnesses, the commission concludes that there is a probability that ‘Projek IC’ existed,” the panel said, according to slides shown to the media at the report’s release in Tabung Haji Hotel here.
The panel stressed, however, that the five witnesses were not subjected to any cross-examination during the hearing.
The panel also said that the five were former staff members of the Sabah National Registration Department (NRD) who were once detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for their alleged involvement in the illegal award of identification cards and other documents.
“Projek IC” is said to be responsible for the abnormal spike in Sabah’s population, where foreigners comprise nearly 30 per cent of the state’s 3.12 million-strong populace.
Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who was in power from 1981 to 2003, has been repeatedly named as the man who spurred the initiative.
