KOTA KINABALU: Two critical issues need to be addressed where illegal immigrants in Sabah are concerned, says Sandakan MP Vivian Wong.

"Not only are they left out of food basket and aid programmes, but the government cannot vaccinate them when their names and data are not in the system," she said on Monday (July 5) after visiting an illegal settlement at Kg Tanah Hitam in Libaran, which is adjacent to her constituency.
