Jumlah keseluruhan pendatang asing yang dikesan di kawasan pantai barat dan timur Sabah setakat ini ialah seramai 610,104 orang, kata Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
Beliau berkata perangkaan itu merangkumi pengenalpastian melalui Operasi Bersepadu Fasa I (Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin (PATI) Tulen) seramai 5,643 orang, Operasi Bersepadu Fasa II (PATI Tulen) seramai 4,427 orang, Pendaftaran Pekerja PATI (tanpa dokumen) berserta tanggungan seramai 312,837 orang, Pelarian seramai 57,197 orang dan Pekerja Asing (Secara Sah dan Berdokumen) seramai 230,000 orang.
Katanya kejayaan paling signifikan keseluruhan Operasi Bersepadu itu ialah apabila seramai 312,837 orang Pekerja PATI (tanpa permit kerja/tanpa dokumen) berserta tanggungan telah dapat didaftarkan melalui Program Pendaftaran Pekerja PATI dengan majikan di Sabah.
“Melalui program ini yang telah bermula dari 1 Ogos 2008 hingga 31 Oktober 2008, para majikan yang sebelum ini telah mengambil Pekerja Asing secara tidak sah diarahkan untuk mendaftarkan pekerja mereka dan sekali gus menguruskan dokumen mereka secara sah tanpa diambil tindakan undang-undang,” katanya.
Hishammuddin berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas melawat pejabat polis marin di sini, Ahad.
Beliau berkata Jabatan Imigresen telah menetapkan sehingga 31 Mei 2009 untuk para majikan menjelaskan levi para pekerja mereka.
Pendekatan ini diambil untuk menjaga kepentingan industri-industri di Sabah khususnya sektor perladangan.
“Sekiranya tindakan drastik diambil untuk pengusiran, semua sektor terlibat akan terjejas serta merta. Pada masa yang sama, pendaftaran ini akan membolehkan data diperolehi untuk mempermudahkan proses pengesanan dilaksanakan dari semasa ke semasa,” katanya.
Hishammuddin berkata kementeriannya telah memberi peluang kedua untuk para majikan mendaftarkan para pekerja PATI mereka secara sah.
“Tempoh yang sepatutnya tamat pada 31 Mei 2009 dilanjutkan sehingga 31 Oktober 2009. Pada masa yang sama, bermula 1 Julai 2009 sehingga 31 Oktober 2009, KDN telah memberikan diskaun 50 peratus kadar levi bagi setiap seorang pekerja asing mengikut amaun yang telah ditetapkan bagi setiap sektor di Sabah,” katanya.
Beliau berkata daripada sejumlah 312,837 orang PATI dan tanggungan tersebut, sebanyak 192,723 pekerja dan tanggungan telah didaftarkan secara sah.
Ini bermakna masih ada seramai 120,114 orang yang masih belum didaftarkan secara sah, katanya.

20-Point Agreement (Sabah)
Point 1: Religion
While there was no objection to Islam being the national religion of Malaysia there should be no State religion in North Borneo, and the provisions relating to Islam in the present Constitution of Malaya should not apply to North Borneo.
Point 2: Language
a. Malay should be the national language of the Federation
b. English should continue to be used for a period of 10 years after Malaysia Day
c. English should be an official language of North Borneo for all purposes, State or Federal, without limitation of time.
Point 3: Constitution
Whilst accepting that the present Constitution of the Federation of Malaya should form the basis of the Constitution of Malaysia, the Constitution of Malaysia should be a completely new document drafted and agreed in the light of a free association of states and should not be a series of amendments to a Constitution drafted and agreed by different states in totally different circumstances. A new Constitution for North Borneo (Sabah) was of course essential.
Point 4: Head of Federation
The Head of State in North Borneo should not be eligible for election as Head of the Federation.
Point 5: Name of Federation
“Malaysia” but not “Melayu Raya”.
Point 6: Immigration
Control over immigration into any part of Malaysia from outside should rest with the Central Government but entry into North Borneo should also require the approval of the State Government.
The Federal Government should not be able to veto the entry of persons into North Borneo for State Government purposes except on strictly security grounds. North Borneo should have unfettered control over the movements of persons other than those in Federal Government employ from other parts of Malaysia into North Borneo.
Point 7: Right of Secession
There should be no right to secede from the Federation.
Point 8: Borneanisation
Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.
Point 9: British Officers
Every effort should be made to encourage British Officers to remain in the public service until their places can be taken by suitably qualified people from North Borneo.
Point 10: Citizenship
The recommendation in paragraph 148(k) of the Report of the Cobbold Commission should govern the citizenship rights in the Federation of North Borneo subject to the following amendments:
a) sub-paragraph (i) should not contain the proviso as to five years residence
b) in order to tie up with our law, sub-paragraph (ii)(a) should read “7 out of 10 years” instead of “8 out of 10 years”
c) sub-paragraph (iii) should not contain any restriction tied to the citizenship of parents – a person born in North Borneo after Malaysia must be federal citizen.
Point 11: Tariffs and Finance
North Borneo should retain control of its own finance, development and tariff, and should have the right to work up its own taxation and to raise loans on its own credit.
Point 12: Special Position of Indigenous Races
In principle, the indigenous races of North Borneo should enjoy special rights analogous to those enjoyed by Malays in Malaya, but the present Malays’ formula in this regard is not necessarily applicable in North Borneo.
Point 13: State Government
a) the Prime Minister should be elected by unofficial members of Legislative Council
b) There should be a proper Ministerial system in North Borneo
Point 14: Transitional Period
This should be seven years and during such period legislative power must be left with the State of North Borneo by the Constitution and not be merely delegated to the State Government by the Federal Government.
Point 15: Education
The existing educational system of North Borneo should be maintained and for this reason it should be under state control.
Point 16: Constitutional Safeguards
No amendment modification or withdrawal of any special safeguard granted to North Borneo should be made by the Central Government without the positive concurrence of the Government of the State of North Borneo.
The power of amending the Constitution of the State of North Borneo should belong exclusively to the people in the state. (Note: The United Party, The Democratic Party and the Pasok Momogun Party considered that a three-fourth majority would be required in order to effect any amendment to the Federal and State Constitutions whereas the UNKO and USNO considered a two-thirds majority would be sufficient).
Point 17: Representation in Federal Parliament
This should take account not only of the population of North Borneo but also of its seize and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Singapore.
Point 18: Name of Head of State
Yang di-Pertua Negara.
Point 19: Name of State
Sabah.
Point 20: Land, Forests, Local Government, etc.
The provisions in the Constitution of the Federation in respect of the powers of the National Land Council should not apply in North Borneo. Likewise, the National Council for Local Government should not apply in North Borneo.
