		<description>Yes, the Philippine&#039;s government is not acting right. And who&#039;s to blame? Only their government of course.

I understand that the Malaysian Police are just doing there jobs. Departing philippinos is something they need to do for there own counrty. For their people who need jobs.

But is it right to torture immagrants in the jail? Feeding them with pee in their food? Giving them water from the toilet?

I don&#039;t think it&#039;s right and I wish it would stop.
I wish they would stop toturing the immagrants and just letthem depart home.

And honestly, the Malaysian Police has no right to treat a person like that. Not even .01%. The people they torture in those ceils are as equal as a man as they are. Those people in those ceils do things-illiegal or not-just so they can feed there familes, and i bet those polices in that jail do the same, and would do the same for there family.

Torturing? It&#039;s wrong and cruel. And it needs to stop.

But nothing that I say matters, because I too is just a person.

But I do want to ask this.
DO YOU MALAYSIANS GET TORTURED IN PHILIPPINE JAILS LIKE THE WAY YOU TORTURE IMMAGRANTS IN YOUR JAILS?

Answer: No, filipinos have helped me a lot in my life and I thank them for that. No one has ever laid a hand on me in that counrty, and I doubt there will be.</description>

		<description>If they were properly documented, they will have no problem here to stay in Sabah but instead, they go undocumented which will have the government sending them back to their own country. 

What I don&#039;t understand is that why aren&#039;t the Philippine Government doing anything? Don&#039;t they care for their own people? 

I see that only our government tackling this problem where it should be both countries doing so..

I hope illegal immigrants&#039; problem in sabah (north borneo) to be settle soon by the new PM..</description>

		<description>Jewelle, I agree. But I doubt the sultan will be able to do anything to help his subjects.

mn, yes I agree with you too, about the failure of the govt to confront the problem. I guess, sometime in the future, someone from the south ought to be elected as president.</description>

		<description>the philippine government fails to confront this problem, the present administration continues to put the claim in the back burner while the malaysians are pushing us to do a stronger action(like breaking diplomatic relations with malaysia) but i think gloria is too afraid to do that. 

we need to be united, north borneo(sabah) is ours!</description>

		<description>This is understandable - what responsible father will not do anything to feed his family.

So instead of trying to create all kind of bad feelings with their ridiculous claims, the supposedly Sulu Sultanate should make it a point  to improve livelihood in their land so their people will not need to leave just to find jobs.</description>
