Its President, Bentan Alamin, said the setting up of the RCI reflected the sincerity of the Government in addressing the issue that is known by the people to be very a complicated matter.
However, he hoped Usco together with Parti Kebenaran, which he is representing would be included as panel members of the RCI so that they could also voice out their views.
"I believe it is time that we discuss to find the truth and not turn the mass media as the battle field," he said, adding that issues related to the RCI had also been raised by political parties.
"The Suluk and Bajau communities are natives of this State and not migrants from the neighbouring country coming into Sabah without any document," he said.
He also dread to imagine the feeling of someone who had valid identity documents for years but still considered as migrant.
Voice: Are they should be included as the Native of Sabah? Those Suluks who were born before Sabah Independence Day in 1963 should be included as a Sabahan but for those Suluks who came to Sabah in the late 60s should not be considered as the Sabahan Native. They were migrated from The Philiphine. The Bajau Laut was one of the Suluk Ethnic (Correct me if I'm wrong). The Original Bajaus only can be found at Tuaran, Kudat, Kota Belud, Papar and Beaufort. While the original people at Lahad Datu, Tawau, Sandakan was the Sungais and Tidungs. Now it up to the government to considered their demand. For me there is no such thing for that demand. Some organization uses different approach to obscure the eye of the government to get sympathy. Harry George
