FOREIGN ARMED INTRUDERS IN SABAH - RIDICULOUS!!!

It's ridiculous that the intruders were permitted to stay in Kampung Tanduo by our Malaysian security forces. For 2 weeks now, our forces have done nothing to "remove" them. No body knows what is happening as all media have been cut-off.  

We are wondering as to what is going on and why are these intruders allow to stay?  "What the hell is happening to our country ?" All we know is that the Inspector General of Police has told the press that the "situation is under control and we know what we are doing."

Do they know what they are doing? We are not asking for operational details but merely want to know the truth. Why is it taking them so long? It seems nothing is done!

The funny thing is that our Prime Minister does not seem to be concerned over the sovereignty of our country and the Sabahans in Lahad Datu.

May God bless the people of Sabah especially those who are affected by the intrusion.

FOREIGN ARMED INTRUDERS IN SABAH - UNBELIEVABLE !!!

Unbelievable !!! A group of more than 100 armed foreigners from a neighbouring country landed on Sabah's east coast undetected about 12 days ago. It caught the Malaysian Security forces by surprise and they are now " negotiating" with the group who claimed to be the “royal army” of the Sultanate of Sulu in Mindanao.

 Picture extracted from newspapers.   

According to the report, the group has been surrounded and cornered in "Kampung Tanduo", a local village in Lahad Datu by the Malaysian security forces.  The standoff has sparked one of the biggest security scares in recent years in Sabah, 

2 days ago, Malaysian Home minister visited the area and informed the press that the situation was under control and there was nothing to fear. He also confirmed that no Malaysian citizen were being held hostage or for ransom,  “Security forces are still in control and negotiating with them, some of whom are armed.” said the Minister.

Many concerned Malaysian have voiced their disappointment with the authorities through local newspaper and especially through "face book": There have been many questions raised, like, how did the group passed through our Security forces stationed along the coast? What has happened to our armed forces, we were supposed to have high-tech surveillance aircraft and super-duper Scorpene submarines and yet they could not detect this group of insurgents? Why negotiate? and so on.

As a Malaysian I strongly feel that there should be no compromise on the sovereignty and security of Sabah. These intruders should leave the country immediately.

THE PYGMY ELEPHANT CALF HAS SURVIVED

The latest count of the dead Borneo pygmy elephants have increased to 14. The good news is that the calf found alive is surviving in the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park.      

The three-month-old calf looks set to survive as it has been getting use to the infant formula milk and adapting to his new home at the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park.

A spokesman from the Sabah Wildlife Department said they were also getting a lot of support from elephant experts both locally and internationally. 

Mean, Wildlife rangers, Police and the relevant Authorities are continuing their check of the area in the forest reserve for the possibility of more dead elephants while also searching for the source of the poisoning, which could possibly be some form of chemical pesticides.

Let us hope the investigation could reveal the truth and who are the culprits responsible for such cruel act.
