Kota Kinabalu, 17 Feb 2022
The SAPP Youth Movement is urging the State Government to immediately reveal the identity of a man named Peer Mohamad Kadir who was a centre of controversy regarding his appointment as a Board Member of a GLC in Sabah.
SAPP Youth chief Jamain Sarudin said an investigation on the matter should be conducted to let the public know the real situation because its implications will affect the GRS government.
Recently, the issue of Peer Mohamad Kadir’s citizenship received public attention, as he was said to have given a statement during the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the issue of Illegal Immigrants in Sabah. In his statement (found in the RCI Report Book) Peer Mohamad had said he came from Chenai, India and entered Sabah in 1980, later obtained an identity card through dubious means in 1990. His statement to the RCI revealed that he was not born in Sabah but his MyKad bears the digit -12- which is only for citizens born in Sabah.
“This issue is very sensitive and will have adverse reactions from the public. Situations like this warrant an immediate answer,” said Jamain.
SAPP Youth hopes that the relevant authorities will clarify the matter immediately.
Previously, a group of activists in Sabah including Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) questioned the identity of Sabah MIC chief Peer Mohamad Kadir, whose name is the same as the individual from India who entered Sabah from the country in 1980 which he confessed as a witness in the RCI report on illegal immigrants Sabah.
Recently, a person by the name of Mahathir Peer Mohamad was reported to be involved in a high speed car chase fleeing from the police. He (Mahathir Peer Mohammad), 24, was then charged with obstructing the police from discharging their duty, fined RM2,000 and jailed three days for the offence. Mahathir and his wife claimed trial separately to the charge under Section 186 of the Penal Code. The case was also shared viral on social media. The question in everybody’s mind is, is Mahathir Peer Mohamad a son of the same Peer Mohamad also obtained his MyKad under the notorious Project IC or Project M?
