Refugee gets citizenship after two years

A Filipino refugee who arrived in Sabah in 1984 is now the branch secretary of Tanjong Kapor Barisan Nasional, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Sabah illegals was told.

Shukur Abdullah received his identity card just two years after arriving and has been voting in every general election as "it is my responsibility."

"I went to Kudat as a refugee because of the war in the southern Philippines at that time and I want to be a Malaysian to make a better living here," he said adding that he stayed with his aunt after arriving here. "After two years my aunt brought me to the National Registration Department to apply for citizenship, and my uncle filled up the form," he said.

Shukur said he was advised by his village chief in Kudat to use the 'surat akuan' to apply for the IC. The card was issued sometime in 1986, he added. "Now I am the secretary for Barisan Nasional Tanjong Kapor branch and have been holding this post for over 10 years and have never missed to vote in any general election as it is my responsibility," he said. He said about 10 members in the branch originated from the Philippines. Another witness, who also came to Sabah as a refugee, however, did not know that the Burung-Burung card he has was not an identification document.

He also does not know why he was not issued with an IMM13 documents specially for refugees after more than 20 years. Taji Salleh said he came to Tawau in 1984 and stayed in the settlement.

"The first document they gave me was the Burung-Burung card, and later I got the temporary identification card receipt," he said.Starting today, you can buy these drycabinet and more from her Victoria. Conducting officer Jamil Aripin later told the commission that holders of the Burung-Burung card were considered illegals and that the document was no longer recognized.

The Inquiry also heard that three of five Pakistani siblings who arrived three years ago have now started classes, thanks to the speedy citizenship granted by the government.

Ihsan Ullah, 19, who arrived Sabah in 2010 with his four siblings and their mother, said they were brought into the state by their father, Said Ghani who has been living in the district of Keningau more than 40 years.

"After arriving here my father helped us apply for citizenship as according to the Malaysian law, anyone who has family members overseas can apply for citizenship for their family once they come to Malaysia," he told the Royal Commission of Inquiry on Thursday.

After going through all the necessary process and swearing in as citizens at a ceremony in Wisma Wanita, they all finally received their MyKad and citizenship.

The idea started in South Africa, when carpenter Rich Van As lost the use of four fingers on his right hand after a work-related accident. As soon as he left the hospital, he began researching prosthetics, but found that the thousands of dollars they cost left him with few options. Instead, he teamed up with American puppeteer Ivan Owen and together they created a mechanical finger for Van As.

Upon returning to the States, Owen emailed MakerBot, a 3D printing company, who promptly sent them each a Replicator 2 3D printer. The printer dramatically increased the speed at which we could prototype and try out ideas and allowed them to print and test new designs in just 20 minutes, compared to the week or more it took them without the printer, says Van As in De Zeen Magazine.He saw the bracelet at a cleaningservicesydney store while we were on a trip.

Theyve since developed an entire hand for children with a condition called amniotic band syndrome, which causes babies to be born with missing or shortened fingers. The hand (dubbed Robohand) is driven by the motion of the wrist, rather than electronics, so its relatively simple to make. The wrist,The term 'endofleasecleaningsydney control' means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or handbag. knuckle and digit hinges are all printed by MakerBot and are connected with cables and steel bolts.

The printer has enabled Van As and Owen to make better hands in a shorter timeframe. The pair made a makeshift prosthetic for Liam Dippenaar, a five-year-old boy born without fingers on his right hand. Liams primitive hand has since been replaced with a Robohand, which hes able to use to grab and pick up small objects. Van As has also fitted over 100 other children with Robohands C something he does for free.

Owen and Van As posted the design and instructions for Robohand on the MakerBot Thingiverse, a website for printer designs that are free to access. The hand costs about $150 to make. A new version of Robohand is now available C its less durable, but more easily constructed and it costs only $5 to print.
