Who will the Suluks support?

By Luke Rintod of FMT
Sabah Umno leaders do not believe that the Suluk voters in Sabah have deserted them following the Tanduo stand-off in Lahad Datu between Sulu terrorists and Malaysian armed forces.
“The majority of the Suluk voters are still with BN (Barisan Nasional),” said Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan, the principal political secretary to Sabah strongman, Musa Aman.
Many in the BN component parties like PBS, UPKO, LDP, PBRS and MCA share Nizam’s observation.
But deep within the Suluk community in Sabah, cracks are appearing.

HANYA Rakyat SABAHAN SAJA YANG TAHU Situasi di SABAH.
SABAHAN sentiasa BerJAGA-JAGA kerana "PTI" sudah menjadi MAJORITI DI SABAH. RAMAI YANG TELAH DI UGUT Tetapi TIDAK Di sampaikan ke PIHAK BERKUASA kerana takut keadaan akan JADI LEBIH BURUK lagi...

p/s: KERANA UMNO-BN Mengatakan "MEREKA INI TIDAK MENJEJASKAN KESELAMATAN NEGARA", sudah cukup untuk membisukan rakyat Sabahan. Tapi lihatlah apa yang sudah terjadi sekarang......

Anwar’s hand in Lahad Datu isn’t credible theory!

By Joe Fernandez
There is quite a bit of material in the mainstream and alternative media hinting, suggesting and even accusing Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim as the arch villain behind the Lahad Datu intrusion and subsequent standoff.

As the various conspiracy theories go, this is the weakest of them all. We can only await the proposed Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Lahad Datu with bated breaths.

Anwar may have met Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) leader Nur Misuari in Jakarta and Manila, as reported by several sources including Malaysia Today. However, such meetings by themselves tell nothing. Both men were longtime friends. The MNLF Leader may have wanted to catch up with the Opposition Leader because he’s also the Prime Minister in Waiting.

Sultanate of Sulu: Pawn or legacy?

Malaysia has responded with troops and fighter jets to an ancient and deadly claim to a remote corner of Borneo. It marked a dramatic conclusion to a bizarre three-week siege that appeared to catch the governments of the Philippines and Malaysia off guard.

"Part of the reason [for the lack of information] is that they [the Filipinos] do not want any information to leak out. As you know the Filipinos are relaying reports of what is happening on the ground to television stations in Manila, so I think they are trying to keep a tactical advantage by keeping quiet."

A group of Filipino rebels pitched up in a seaside village on the island of Borneo, and asserted their ancestral ownership rights to the territory.


The self-proclaimed Royal Army of Sulu are from the remote Philippine island province of Sulu. They made the short journey by boat to Borneo Island in February, landing in Lahad Datu in Sabah state.


PM Must Guarantee Safety and Restore Confidence of Sabahans - Dr. Jeffrey

“Now that the fear felt by Sabahans have become a reality, Najib as the current Prime Minister, must not only guarantee the security of Sabahans but he must also restore their confidence because security was the number 1 reason why Sabahans agreed to be part of Malaysia”, said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief.

“So far, the Federal Government dominated by Malaya and led by UMNO/BN has not only failed but has put Sabah and its citizens at risks and made Sabah insecure by supporting Muslim rebellion in the Philippines and supplying them weapons, giving them refuge and training facilities in Sabah, and worst by deploying them as voters in Sabah through the ‘Project IC Mahathir’ despite knowing full well that the same group of people from the Philippines have unsettled claim over Sabah” he said.

Pengganas Sulu bunuh polis dengan kejam

LAHAD DATU 7 Mac - Ditawan kemudian dipenggal kepala merupakan antara kekejaman yang tiada tara dilakukan pengganas Sulu ke atas anggota keselamatan negara.

Bukan itu sahaja, seorang anggota pasukan keselamatan yang turut ditawan dirodok perutnya menggunakan parang Sulu atau barong sebelum dadanya dibelah dan dikeluarkan segala organ dalaman.

Malaysia, you failed us !

By Ezra Haganez

KOTA KINABALU : United Borneo Front (UBF) chairman Jeffrey Kitingan said it is now very clear that Malaysia and successive Prime Ministers including the current one, Najib Razak, have failed Sabahans miserably as far as security and safety are concerned.

"Now that the fear felt by Sabahans have become a reality, Najib as the current premier, must not only guarantee the security of Sabahans but he must also restore their confidence because security was the number one reason why Sabahans agreed to be part of Malaysia in 1963," he said in a statement here today.

Lahad Datu: Self-styled Sulu Sultan calls for immediate unilateral ceasefire

Spokesman: 10 Sulu gunmen are dead; another 10 have been captured; four wounded
MANILA: The self-proclaimed Sulu sultanate has called for an immediate ceasefire to the standoff in Sabah following calls by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to end violence in Sabah and start holding dialogues.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 ― Rebel leader Agbimuddin Kiram and his band of militants have survived Malaysia’s aerial assault and “mop-up” operations, Sulu “princess” Jacel Kiram claimed this morning on national television in the Philippines.
The daughter of the elderly Jamalul Kiram, one of the nine claimants to the Sulu Sultanate, said her uncle was willing to release the four Malaysian hostages they claim to be holding captive, but wanted to do so in front of the international media and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Committee to prove they were unharmed

‘Missed’ targets, unpaid ‘settlements’

While claims of today's airstrikes in Lahad Datu were 'llegal',
a Kiram family member spoke of a Malaysian government
approved 'settlement' stuck in a 'bank' in Malaysia.
LAHAD DATU: Even as the Philippine media reported that this morning’s airstrikes “missed” their targets – which was the forces of Raja Muda Agbimuddin Kiram – in Kampung Tandao and neighbouring villages, a Manila senator urged his government to protect its citizens in Sabah.
Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr said the legality of the Kirams’ claim on Sabah was second to the fact that the people under attack were Filipinos.
“Whatever else the issue there [in Sabah] may be, the Sultan of Sulu and his people are Filipino citizens and, by virtue of that fact, they deserve protection from the government of the Philippines.

Does airstrikes really end the Tanduo siege ?

By Irfan Danial Leddu

LAHAD DATU : The month-long siege of a small Kampung Tanduo near Lahad Datu is set to end today with military jet fighters reportedly "bombing" the area earlier today.

Sources said, the army has taken over from the police today and would leave the scene soonest possible for Sabah's porous sea border in anticipation of further incursions.

Reinforcements from the Tausug tribe of Sulu numbering up to 10,000 have sailed to Sabah to aid their clansmen who are the followers of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, an official of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) was quoted as saying by a major Manila-based broadsheet.

Majority of the MNLF members, including their chairman Nur Misuari, are members of the Tausug tribe.

“It is impossible to stop them from going to Sabah. We are hurt and many of our people are going to Sabah to help the sultanate,” the paper quoted MNLF Islamic council committee chairman Habib Hashim Mudjahab as saying.
