BN leaders back RCI on Sabah population

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had announced on Saturday that former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong would head the panel, which will have six months to probe what politicians have tagged “the mother of all ills” in the state.
