‘I am a naturalised citizen’, explains Christina Liew


(The Borneo Insider) – Api-Api State assemblywoman Christina Liew has categorically rubbished the allegation by a witness in the on-going Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI), that she is an Indonesian of Chinese descent who had obtained Malaysian citizenship.

“My parents were British subjects who migrated to North Borneo in 1952, with British documents from Hong Kong,” she told the Borneo Insider Wednesday night.

“I was one month old then. I obtained my blue IC when Sabah/Malaysia achieved her independence in 1963. I’m a naturalized citizen.

“All my six brothers and sisters were born in Tawau. We grew up in North Borneo before independence. I have never been to Indonesia until I was in my adulthood.

“What nonsense is this man talking about?” she said in a rebuttal to the claim of the Sabah Suluk Ethnic Clan Association secretary Mohd Zaki Hari Susanto, when giving his testimony at the RCI hearing earlier Wednesday.
