“Finger pointing is pointless because it is difficult to prove. We have been doing that for the last three decades. Did the problem go away," Abdul Rahman had tweeted.

“I hear a lot of people voicing their anger but none has sound and practical solution,” said Abdul Rahman, who is also the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister.

The RCI was set up on Aug 11, 2012 and chaired by former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim.

The proceedings began in January 2013 with Manoj Kurup, Datuk Azmi Ariffin and Jamil Aripin of the Attorney-General's Chambers appointed as conducting officers to assist the commission in questioning the witnesses.

The RCI recorded statements from 361 people and collected 177 exhibits during the proceedings.

The report, priced at RM10, will be available to the public at Sabah Federal Administration building in Jalan UMS, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and the One Stop Centre at Home Ministry in Putrajaya..
