KOTA KINABALU: The proposal to issue special passes to illegal foreign workers in Sabah does not equate to automatic citizenship for them.

Parti Warisan Sabah secretary-general Loretto Padua said the proposed issuance of these special passes by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal was to better monitor the illegal immigrants and, at the same time, spur economic growth in Sabah.
