Probe GLC board member’s citizenship claims even if it might open a can of worms, says Ongkili


KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has echoed the Chief Minister’s call to investigate any connection between a board member in government-linked company Sawit Kinabalu and a person who claimed he obtained Malaysian citizenship illegally in the 1980s.

PBS president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili said he believed such an investigation would open a can of worms, particularly on immigration loopholes and weaknesses which led to the large presence of illegal immigrants in Sabah.
