Kota Kinabalu: The State Government acknowledges the plight of illegal immigrants needing aid.
However, State Government assistance is only extended to Sabahans with citizenship as many locals required it.
“The State Government, by principle, only provides assistance to those with citizen status.

“However, if non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and members of the public wish to provide assistance to illegal immigrants, the State Government will not forbid,” said Sabah’s Covid-19 Spokesperson Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun

He was responding to reports of an increasing number of illegal immigrants (PTI) who have put up white flags around Kota Kinabalu seeking food and other basic necessities.
