2011-02-28 亞洲時報(本報訊)沙巴進步黨青年團要求政府成立皇家調查委員會一勞永逸解決本州非法移民問題所發起的十萬人簽名運動昨早在加雅街週日展銷會獲得民眾的熱烈響應﹐一個早上成功募集近千人簽名支持﹗

該黨路陽區青年團長楊奕勇指出﹐青年團員們昨日在加雅街獲得極大的鼓舞﹐他們向平均向十個民眾解釋後﹐有八人認同他們的努力并簽名支持。

最令青年們出乎意料的是﹐支持者當中不乏馬來及友族同胞﹐他們得知簽名运动的目地後,甚至鼓勵身邊親友簽名支持﹐讓一班在熱鬧市集汗流浹背號召民眾收集簽名的青年團員們非常感動。除了昨早在加雅街獲得大部份來往民眾支持後﹐彼等前天在和生園商店也獲得數百人簽名。

楊奕勇坦誠,該黨青年團今次發動的十萬人簽名運動在亞庇等地區的反應的確沒有想像中熱烈﹐簽名運動展開了一個星期﹐只籌募到約萬多兩萬人支持。

但是他表示﹐廣大民眾對簽名運動的反應慢熱,並并不會打擊青年團員的士氣﹐反而會激發他們更努力想廣大民眾解說非法移民這個本州宿疾對人民及國家未來的無窮禍害﹐讓更多人明白該課題的嚴重性﹐關係到後代子孫的權力和利益。

他說﹕“我們覺得民眾反應慢熱的原因有很多﹐一些可能是受到相關方面的壓力﹐另一些可能因為本身也有聘用非法外勞﹐自然不大願意出面支持。”

“但是大家不應該只看眼前的利益﹐應該要設法解決﹐要了解到非法移民是本州各種問題的禍首。”
