| Raja Muda Agbimuddin Kiram insists they would not leave Sabah until the issue has been resolved. |
MANILA: The brother of Sultan of Sulu said his group in Lahad Datu town in Sabah was open to negotiate with the Malaysian government just to have a “peaceful” solution to the Sabah standoff.
“…so long as our rights will not be taken away from us,” Raja Muda Agbimuddin Kiram told Radyo Inquirer 990AM on Wednesday when asked if they were open to negotiations.
“We have to renegotiate in a peaceful way,” said Raja Muda, brother of Jamalul Kiram III.
Raja Muda said the standoff could be resolved peacefully “so long as there is no betrayal, so long as they are sincere with the negotiation.”
Raja Muda said they were ready to listen to the President and accept his views if they think these were right.
Unfortunately, the sultan’s brother did not agree with the President’s claim that they may have violated Philippine laws when they refused to leave the land.
“As President and chief executor of our laws, I have tasked an investigation into possible violations of laws by you, your followers, and collaborators engaged in this foolhardy act,” Aquino said Tuesday.
Raja Muda insisted that they would not leave Sabah until the issue has been resolved.
And if the Malaysian authorities were to use force to disarm his men, Raja Muda said they have no other choice but defend themselves.
Raja Muda said they came to Sabah not to make war especially with fellow Muslims in Malaysia.
“We come here…not to make war against them especially since we belong to the same religion,’ he said when asked what would be his message to the Malaysian government.
And to the residents of Sabah, Raja Muda’s message was: “We did not come here to die here but we come here to live with them, to stay with them to love each other and enjoy the income of Sabah together.”
He then called on their families in the Philippines and all Filipinos not only to extend them any help but also to show “sympathy” for them.
“MALAYSIA” WAS HELD UP BY BRITISH/MALAYANS AS THE ANSWER FOR BORNEO COLONIES' SECURITY & PROSPERITY AS A BULWARK AGAINST FOREIGN INVASION
ReplyDeleteMalaysia under UMNO’s watch has been a complete failure on both fronts of security and prosperity for the 2 colonies.
In terms of prosperity Sabah and Sarawak have been re-colonised and robbed by Malaya and made the poorest countries in Malaysia.
In terms of security UMNO allowed into the 2 colonies over 3 million illegals by overriding the 18/20 Points Agreement Sabah Sarawak right to control immigration into the colonies.
And now the security has been breached once more by the invasion of armed men from the Philippines making a claim on Sabah!
The Malaysian marine police and navy were incompetent to stop the armed men from sailing into Sabah.
UMNO can no longer used the bogeyman of foreign invasion as a counter argument against Sabah and Sarawak independence when it cannot even stop the Sulu invading force. It is an invasion as they are claiming Sabah as their land.
UMNO is helpless to even firmly expelling these group who many believe are acting as UMNO proxies. So how can it have any credibility to claim it can defend Sabah or Sarawak?
It is such failures to observe the terms and conditions for formation of Malaysia that many Sabah Sarawak people are very angry and want to take their countries out of Malaysia for real independence.
