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.
