Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad suggested that a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) be set up to investigate the granting of citizenship to one million foreign immigrants in the Federation of Malaya, before Malaysia gained independence.
However, he emphasised that it was merely a suggestion, because any such investigation (on the granting of citizenship) should be comprehensive and not focused on just one side.
"I'm just suggesting it, and not really serious about (implementing) it. But if there's an investigation it must be comprehensive, it's not fair to focus on only one matter," he said.
He was speaking to reporters after delivering the keynote address at the '2013 Penang Malays Economic and Education Transformation' convention at Universiti Teknologi Mara, Bukit Mertajam today.
He had been asked to comment on criticisms leveled at him for granting citizenship to 200,000 foreign immigrants in Sabah, during the time he was prime minister.
Saying the 200,000 foreign immigrants had been in Sabah for more than 20 years, spoke Malay and had assimilated local culture, he added, "From a legal standpoint there were eligible for the citizenship."
Not provided in the law
Furthermore, he said the granting of citizenships to one million foreign immigrants who came to Malaysia before independence was done by first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman even though it was not provided in the law at the time.
"This situation came about because the Malays are generous and prepared to dilute their power, and this is very different from what happened in Sabah because they had the right to have citizenship," he said.
Earlier in his address, he urged the Malays to weigh matters before making a decision and not just follow their emotions and feelings which could jeopardise the nation.
"There are those who are so obsessed with their leaders that even when they (the leaders) are wrong, they support them. So we must be very careful in not letting ourselves be influenced by such emotions and feelings," he said.
Also present at the convention were Mahathir's wife, Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali and Penang Perkasa president Yusof Suhaimi Mohd Yatim.

Pemerhati Mahathir is falling back on his tried and tested favourite race and religious card to defend his illegal granting of citizenship to foreigners in Sabah by telling half truths and outright lies to his Malay audience. He is implying to his mainly Muslim audience that there was nothing illegal in his granting of 200,000 Muslim foreigners citizenship in Sabah as the Tunku had given citizenship to one million unqualified non-Muslims in peninsula Malaysia. Azmin Ali has correctly pointed out that Mahathir’s operation in Sabah was shrouded in secrecy and was criminal whereas Tunku’s action was in accordance with a collective decision during the formative period of Malaysia’s history of independence. One of Mahathir’s lies was clearly exposed when the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah was recently told that a Pakistani Muslim and an Indian Muslim were granted citizenship in a matter of years and not more than 20 years as claimed by Mahathir.

If UMNO was not prepared to give citizenship to the non-Malays, the British had no intention of leaving Malaya. Please do not try to re-write history just to serve your racist agenda. The Chinese and Indians who were already in Malaya since at least the early 19th century were not "illegals" but citizens of the British Empire who were allowed to migrate to Malaya to contribute towards her economy, infrastructure and public service. I challenge Mahathir to revoke the citizenship of 35% of the population if he dares. What about the natives of Sabah and Sarawak, they are not Malay? Shouldn't the Malays be grateful to them for giving 95% of their oil revenue to the Malay dominated federal government in return for pittance?

Gerard Lourdesamy I assume the RCI proposed by Mahathir will include his father and grandfather who originated from Kerala, South India. At the same time the RCI should also investigate if Malaya ought to have been given her independence in 1957 on account of the alleged abuse by the Tunku in giving 1 million Chinese and Indian "illegals" citizenship without any proper evaluation and testing. The RCI should also consider the legality of the Federation of Malaya Independence Agreement between The Queen and the Malay Rulers since it may have been tainted by fraud in respect of the citizenship provisions. If it is a nullity, then the British Government should re-establish sovereignty over Malaya at the soonest.

RA 1 Look at Brunei. The Chinese there have lived there for generations but they would never get citizenship. It is up to the local people to grant foreigners citizenship. So in this case Chinese and Indians were granted Citizenship by sheer generosity of the Malays.

starr Mahathir's cunning and crafty way of sidetracking, camouflaging the 'citizenship for vote' scheme is reflected in his hot pursuit of the pre-Merdeka citizenship issue, which is an non-issue till now. Clearly, he can't defend his action in the 'citizenship-for-vote'. Not only has he divided the nation right sown the middle, institutionalized corruption, cronyism and nepotism, dismantled the institutions of parliamentary democracy, destroyed the economic competitiveness of the country, he has now altogether manipulated and destroyed democracy on which the country is founded. Blaming the founding father of the nation shows how low he is prepared to go in defending his interests. Thank God, he has no place in the history leading to Merdeka of this great nation. By leveling against the late Tunku Abdul Rahman and the conditions of independence, is tantamount to challenging Merdeka. The Rakyat would do well not to be taken in anymore by the person who has cheated democracy.

Geronimo Upon obtaining their citizenships, the majority of the non-Malays started to 'pay back' their country by working hard. Many of them brought this country international recognition, and many of them returned home after their studies overseas as doctors, lawyers, engineers, lecturers, etc as part of their contributions towards nation building. Mahathir even admitted that the Chinese contributed 90% to the nation's coffers in terms of tax. Now, I would like him to tell us, by granting these illegal immigrants citizenships, what have been their significant contributions to this country? The non-Malays paid back their dues many times over and yet he has the audacity to fault us for his treasonous acts? I hope he will choke in his own puke one of these days and be buried in an unmarked grave.

Its not that "old turkey buzzel" does not know the difference between the two. If what he did in Sabah is above board why then the need for secrecy and an RCI? And isn't Mahathir himself a beneficiary of citizenship granted at Merdeka? Regardless of his denials and nonsensical claims Mahathir has to be accountable based on the outcome of the RCI findings.

No way we want to be controlled by them as they are very selfish and we've had enough of them as they will continue to plunder this Land of Mine. The 200,000 immigrants are more deserving to be given citizenship with their honest lifestyle and culture.
