The
on-going probe into a bogus MyKad scam at the Tawau National Registration
Department (NRD) has been touted as a timely curtain-raiser to the proposed
Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the illegal immigrant phenomenon in
Sabah.
It has
been hailed as proof enough that the Federal Government means business on
national security.
In
fact, it’s nothing of that sort.
The
RCI is not about bogus MyKads flooding the state, or the “rampant” issuance of
citizenships which has emerged as another red herring, but rather the alleged circumvention
of the Federal Constitution article on citizenship by operation of law.
