KOTA KINABALU: The issue of illegal immigrants, which has bogged Sabah for decades, will be resolved through a registration of these people via a digital data collection, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

He said the data would be collected on all foreign immigrants to ensure they had valid documents to live and work in the state.
