TAWAU - The government will act on any report or resolution by
the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah,
said Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail.
In giving this assurance, he said, where there were criminal elements involved, action would be taken, and wrongs would be righted.
"Yes, if there are criminal offences, we will act. This is the government's promise. That is why, the RCI was set up.
"However, we must remember, if we talk about criminal prosecution, we have to see whether there is sufficient evidence. In the RCI, everything that people say is acknowledged, but without evidence, we cannot accept. We can accept hearsay evidence.
"To enable us to go to court, we have to look at admissible evidence. This is not an excuse not to take action against those who committed a crime. We will take action, but according to the law," he told reporters after attending the Opening of the Legal Year 2013 at the Tawau Court here today.
