Promise 46: Protecting the sovereignty and security of Sabah

The people of Sabah had to face security risks for a long time as

UMNO and Barisan Nasional failed to safeguard the borders.

To date, the people of Sabah are still facing threats related to the presence of

foreigners. The practices of the ruling government have led to these illegal

immigrants having identity cards to pass off as locals.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will set up a Truth and Reconciliation

Commission to achieve a fair solution to the issue of identity card which

have been granted to illegal immigrants, thereby ensuring that voters' lists

in Sabah can be cleared.

The Commission's mandate will be determined jointly by the Federal

Government and the Government of Sabah, but the Chairman of this

Commission will a qualified Sabahan with unquestionable integrity.

The Commission will also be mandated to propose appropriate follow-up

actions. The number of security forces guarding the Sabah border will also

be boosted.
