RCI report: Who are the illegals?


Daily commute: Some immigrants from Pulau Gaya arriving at the jetty in Kota Kinabalu.

MOST workers called by the RCI had entered Sabah illegally due to war and hardship between 1970s and 2000s. Most hold various immigration documents and identity cards of varying status with some even having voted in the elections.
