[edit] Rotation system

The rotation system was used in the state of Sabah as a means to divide and share power among the three main communities of the state—the Christian Bumiputras, the Muslim Bumiputras, and the Chinese people—represented by various political parties within the Barisan National coalition supposedly representing the interests of those communities. The system was introduced by the then Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad when the ruling coalition party, Barisan Nasional, formed government despite losing in the 1994 state elections. This occurred due to a major defection which took place by leaders from Party Bersatu Sabah (PBS), the party which won the election.

The system provided that the Chief Ministerial post will be held by a leader from one of the three communities for two years, and then the post will be passed on to another leader representing another community. The first Chief Minister under this system was Sakaran Dandai from the party United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) in 1994. Sakaran did not complete his two-year tenure and was replaced by Salleh Mohd Said, also from UMNO. In 1996, Yong Teck Lee from Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) became next Chief Minister. Bernard Dompok then became the next Chief Minister representing the Christian Bumiputra community in 1998. His tenure lasted less than two years when Osu Sukam from UMNO replaced him in 1999. In 2001, Chong Kah Kiat from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) replaced Osu. Later in 2003, Musa Aman from UMNO took up the post and remains the current Chief Minister of Sabah as of November 2007. The rotation system was abolished in 2005 following BN's landslide victory in Sabah in the 2004 Malaysian general election.

[edit] Project IC

Project IC is a term used in Malaysia to describe the allegation of systematic granting of citizenship to immigrants (whether illegal or legal immigrants) by giving them identity documents known as IC (identity card). The alleged practice is mainly centered in the state of Sabah in East Malaysia. The term is used mainly by opposition politicians and the media. Another term used is Project M[1]

The former Sandakan district chief Hassnar Ebrahim made a statement confessing being involved in Project IC. He was a former detainee of the Internal Security Act (Malaysia) in 1998. He also testified in the petition for the annulment of the Likas state assembly district election.[2]

It has been said that the project was secret policy of the Barisan Nasional coalition, in particular United Malays National Organisation, in order to attain political domination in the state using the votes of these immigrants.[3]

Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice president Jeffrey Kitingan alleges that there are 600,000 immigrants with ICs out of an estimated 1.7 million foreigners in Sabah.[2]
