Filipino immigrants

The initial acceptance of Filipino immigrants in 1960s resulted in the influx of illegal immigrants into Sabah in 1970s.

Like all in a sudden, coming from no where, the street of then quiet Kota Kinabalu Town streets swarm with children from Philippines. They are here all right, but some of these grown up children deliberately stand in front passing by young ladies to show that they have no pant to wear. Children with no basic moral is what an insult to the local who hosted and provided them.

I was amount those gave a helping hands in the 1970s. In 1971 I was in Sandakan and a Red Cross Member. Few boats full of refugee landed in Sandakan and immediately they were accommodated in St Mary Secondary School with foods and clothing.

As if the help from the local Christian is still insufficient to keep them warm, the Sandakan Red Cross landed a hand by giving out blankets to them. I jointed in the group of 20+ uniformed Red Cross members to St Mary Secondary School to distribute the new blankets. To say distribute, it is rather more accurate to say the blankets were being robbed off by the lawless crowd of no ruling.

Malaysia is a nation of peace and unity and provide sanctuary to those in refugee. The equilibrium should not be hampered by accepting those rejected by God and unwanted by their own countrymen.
