Kota Kinabalu: The sudden significant increase of new voters in the electoral roll could possibly be due to foreign migrants who have obtained Malaysian identity cards (ICs) through dubious means, said United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) Secretary-General Nelson W Angang.
He said this is one of the four categories of foreign migrant problems in Sabah, with the other three being illegal immigrants, refugees and stateless persons.
“That is why Upko has been consistent and persistent in highlighting the need to recognise and acknowledge that there are four categories of foreign migrant problems in Sabah,” he said in a statement.
