KOTA KINABALU: The federal government's assurance to resolve Sabah's longstanding illegal immigrant problem must see tangible results, says a former state minister.
"Malaysians in Sabah want to see tangible results and look forward to firm action on the part of the federal government to resolve this longstanding issue plaguing the state," said Datuk Christina Liew.
She said this in welcoming the assurance by Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin that there would be no compromise in dealing with illegal immigrants in Sabah.
On Tuesday (March 9), Hamzah said the Home Ministry and the Sabah government had decided to take firm action and would no longer compromise in dealing with illegal immigrants in the state.
