Kota Kinabalu: The proposal to carry out datafication process of undocumented foreign workers and nationals in Sabah is still being reviewed and no entity has been tasked with gathering information from any individuals.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the Special Committee for Undocumented foreign workers and nationals has not even presented its full report to the Sabah cabinet.
"As such, the Sabah government has not assigned any department, agency or non-governmental organisation to collect data.
"I have received reports that there is a group that is carrying out this activity, issuing documents, and even charging up to RM300 per person.
"I implore the public not to be misled by these opportunists, who are only out to take advantage of these undocumented foreign workers and nationals," he said in a statement here today.
