PETALING JAYA: Sabah Sino Kadazan Dusun Murut Association president Johnny Goh has called for the issuance of native certificates to be revived, but says a mechanism must be put in place to prevent its abuse.
Goh said the native affairs office, which falls under the purview of the state’s housing and local government ministry, must monitor the granting of the certificates.“Having the native affairs office audit the process of native certificate issuance can eliminate potential abuse by the native courts,” he told FMT.

“The association wants the state government to issue native certificates, which have been frozen since 1982,” said Goh.Former international trade and industry minister Darell Leiking said the state government should set up a native affairs department at the local level to serve as a check and balance to the native courts.
The Warisan deputy president emphasised the need to reinstate the issuance of native certificates to Sino natives currently in limbo, adding that “no native should be denied native status”.
