KOTA KINABALU: Ruling state coalition government partner Upko proposes that Sabah puts a halt to the planned Sabah Temporary Pass (PSS) for Filipino refugees despite its "noble intention" to resolve Sabah's five-decade-old problem.

Upko president Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau said instead, the government must find solutions to deport the refugees back to their home country and putting in place a strict mechanism to stop illegal immigrants from slipping back into the state.
