Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's illegal immigrant problem has been festering due to political agenda and lack of enforcement since the 1980s, says former chief minister Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

He said there was a political agenda to topple his Parti Bersatu Sabah-led state government then, which was reflected in the 2014 Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into Sabah's illegal immigrants.
