DE: You have been credited as being the only Chief Minister (CM) who did his best to solve Sabah’s illegal immigrant problem to the extent of demolishing their settlements that were a refuge for criminals and causing millions of ringgit losses in water and electricity thefts. How did you achieve it? Chong: I was able to mobilise all the various relevant enforcement officials. I succeeded in mobilising the Royal Malaysian Police, the Armed Forces all the Local Authorities, and enforcement officials to work as one team. It was a big family of Malaysians tackling one common problem, which everyone called the ‘Mother of All Problems’ and that is the illegal immigrants.
