KUALA LUMPUR - Lawyers for the Sulu Sultanate are drawing up details of a US$25 billion (RM78 billion) suit against Malaysia for allegedly usurping authority and illegally developing Sabah’s natural resources, The Manila Times reported today.
The English daily said the sultanate plans to bring the matter before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as its response to Malaysia’s decision to file terrorism charges against eight of its followers in Sabah on Wednesday.
The US$25 billion “fine” is meant to represent Malaysia’s payment for “exploiting the natural wealth of Sabah”, which the Kiram clan continues to insist belongs to the Sulu Sultanate.
Sultanate spokesman Abraham Idjirani reportedly said yesterday that the charges in Malaysia were “illegal” and should not have been exacted against the eight individuals who were believed to be involved in the Sulu siege on the north Borneo territory.
“Walang basehan ang [There is no basis for] Malaysia to file charges against those eight Filipinos dahil hindi sila ang nagmamay-ari ng [because it did not own] Sabah,” Idjirani was quoted as telling a press conference in Taguig City, the Philippines.
“We condemn the terroristic act of Malaysia dahil sila ay hindi nagmamay-ari ng [because they don’t own] Sabah. They are just occupant so they have no right to file charges against Filipinos,” he added.
Idjirani also cast doubts over the identities of the eight who were charged, demanding the Malaysian authorities reveal where they had been apprehended.
He suggested that the eight may be mere civilians who were not part of the sultanate’s “royal army” which landed in Sabah on February 9.
Sulu “crown prince” Agbimuddin Kiram, the brother of “Sultan” Jamalul Kiram III, led a group of 235 armed militants to Sabah’s Lahad Datu on February 9 to stake the sultanate’s claim over the north Borneo state.
The intrusion has so far resulted in the deaths of 63 Sulu rebels, according to figures from Malaysian security forces, as well as 10 Malaysians, including eight policemen and two soldiers.
Malaysia launched Ops Daulat on March 5 to flush out the armed rebels after weeks of negotiation failed to result in a peaceful resolution.
Security forces are still conducting mopping-up operations today although intelligence officials believe that Agbimuddin has already fled Sabah to the Philippines.
Manila has said it will not abandon the sultanate’s claim over Sabah, even as Malaysian authorities insist the claim is no longer valid due to the inclusion of the state in the 1963 Malaysia agreement.

ReplyDeleteState veteran leader Tan Sri Herman Luping has noted that Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman’s financial management of the Sabah government’s coffers and his forest management policies is rated the best in the nation.
DeleteMusa, who has helmed the state government since the past nine years, had not only ensured the state government prospered, but had also given more political stability, prosperity and infrastructural development in the state.
DeleteLuping, a former Deputy Chief Minister during the Usno era, said Musa’s comprehensive strategy, which took into account resources from the state and federal agencies, kick-started his vision for a better and more progressive Sabah.
DeleteWhen Musa took office, he introduced a blueprint on a strategic state development agenda called ‘Halatuju’, which focused on an aggressive effort to fully realise the state’s tourism, agriculture and manufacturing potentials.
DeleteIt is this ‘Halatuju’ that propelled the three sectors by leaps and bounds over the years.
DeleteThese three economic activities were the key in Musa’s quest to hasten the state’s economic growth and in the process, improved the well-being of the people.
DeleteLuping said the significant growth and contributions of the three sectors to the state’s economy were obvious now for everyone to see, with tourism emerging as a rising industry with increasing tourist arrivals and construction of more hotels.
DeleteSabah recorded an all time high of 2.84 million tourists last year, generating a revenue of RM4.98 billion.
DeleteThere are 450 hotels of various grades throughout Sabah, offering some 18,000 rooms, and the average occupancy rate is 70 per cent.
DeleteAnother 6,000 rooms are expected to be made available in time for the expected arrival of 3.6 million visitors by 2015.
DeleteIn the agricultural sector, he said the emphasis was to enhance food production by increasing domestic production and reducing the state’s dependence on imported food products.
DeleteAccording to Luping, Sabah has about 2.5 million hectares of land suitable for agricultural development and to date, approximately 1.5 million hectares has been developed.
DeleteThe agricultural sector contributed RM7.24 billion in revenue in 2010.
DeleteLuping said the manufacturing sector was moving at a fast pace with 53 projects approved last year, involving a total capital investments of RM1.5 billion.
DeleteFor Sabah and Sabahans, the rapid development took place since Musa took over the state’s leadership. These developments are there to see.
DeleteAnd because of the political stability in the state, foreign investors have been flocking here to invest and the latest statistics is more than RM10 billion.
DeleteThis, he said, indicated the foreign investors’ confidence in the state leadership. As Fellow Sabahan, we ought to express our gratitude to both the state and federal governments for giving the people the good life and prosperity.
DeleteA Sabah veteran politician foresees a more secure future for Malaysia under the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration, and paid tribute to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for initiating transformation to make the country a developed nation by 2020.
DeleteTun Sakaran Dandai, 82, a former Sabah chief minister, said Malaysians should be grateful that the country had been blessed with leaders who not only helped the country gain independence but also took care of their well-being.
DeleteHe said he had faced various challenges to the development process in his 50 over years in politics and seen how the country had undergone changes for the better.
Delete
DeleteSakaran said the transformation of the country was more pronounced under Najib, whom he described as the architect of the 1Malaysia concept.
He complimented Najib for his exceptional qualities. he afirmed that Najib wants to see the country enter the era of excellence rapidly.
DeleteIn just four years as the prime minister, the people have been overwhelmed by what Najib is doing and wants done.
DeleteNajib fulfills his promises to the people. Under the 1Malaysia concept, which gives preference to people regardless of race and religion.
DeleteAt present there are 1Malaysia clinics, 1Malaysia shops, 1Malaysia computers, 1Malaysia unit trust, higher salary for civil servants, subsidy for fishermen and large allocations for rural development.
DeleteAll these reflect the honesty of the prime minister in wanting to help the people regardless of race and religion.
DeleteSakaran said he was convinced that the people would be able to enjoy more facilities both in the urban and rural areas under Najib, and expressed the hope that they would give him a fresh mandate to administer the country.
DeleteThe veteran leader said the transformation programmes required time to be implemented and it was necessary to retain the BN government in the next general election.
DeleteSakaran recalled how the people had to put up with the lack of amenities during the colonial era, unlike now when they had good roads, schools, hospitals, electricity and clean water.
DeleteThe people of Sabah were "living in the dark" then because not only did they not have electricity supply, the state was also backward in all aspects, including communication.
DeleteFor example, taking an unwell person from my village in Semporna to Tawau, where there was a clinic, would require us to travel almost a day by boat.
DeleteGoing to Kota Kinabalu would entail travel by boat over several days because there were no roads.The situation has changed now.
DeleteAlmost all major cities and towns and rural villages have tarred roads.
DeleteIf previously, before joining Malaysia in 1963, Sabah was lacking in many areas, now, after 49 years, it has emerged as one of the more developed states in the country.
DeleteSakaran said drastic changes were also seen in the education and health sectors. "Previously, our children had to go to the peninsula or to other countries to further their studies.
DeleteNow, we have Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), a branch campus of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), polytechnics and private colleges, as well as primary and secondary schools in every nook and corner of Sabah," he said.
DeleteMedical and health facilities were easily available in all the districts of the state, he said, adding that the "flying doctor" service attended to the people in the remote areas.
DeleteSakaran said the BN government had played a vital role in placing the people and country on the right track of development and progress, not only physically but also spiritually, and in terms of solidarity, mutual respect and human capital values.
DeleteThe people of Sabah were under opposition rule at one time, and we faced great difficulty then due to a lack of cordial relations between the state and federal governments.
DeleteIf there is no cooperation between the state and federal governments, implementation of development programmes will be relatively slow.
DeleteBut what is evident is that there are rapid developments has been done and witness by all in Sabah under the BN.
DeleteSakaran said the Sabah BN government under Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman had raised the state to a stronger economic position.
DeleteHopefully, the people would continue to support the government, and Sabah would remain a stronghold of the BN in the next general election and repeat the excellent performance of the 2008 elections.
DeleteNNOT "ILLEGALLY DEVELOPING" BUT "ILLEGALLY STRIPPING SABAH WEALTH"- WHERE GOT DEVELOPMENT?
ReplyDeleteThe lawyers need to redraft their Statement of Claim as above.
The claim for US$25 billion is chicken feed compared to the trillions (in oil money) UMNO (and foreign companies) has been stealing from us. Is that what the Suluks are actually gunning for with their Sabah claim?
Suggest that damages be set at US$1000 Trillion for pains and sufferings caused to the Borneo people for 50 years of colonial oppression in Malaysia and that the money be paid to Sabah and Sarawak.
Maybe sue Malaya in the Malayan Federal Court since the Sultan and 800,000 Suluks are Malaysian citizens. They are entitled to their Malayan Constitutional rights (masquerading as Malaysian Constitution).
The Suluks are correct in saying that Malaya "does not own Sabah" (nor Sarawak) but neither do the Suluks have a valid claim on Sabah. (1985 Madrid protocol on conquered territories).
Sabah (and Sarawak) belong to the people living in here and in possession of the land before the 1963 Malayan invasion and Malayan sponsored invasion of 3.5 million foreign illegals.
Sabah and Sarawak people should join in this legal action and sue the UMNO government for the following claims:
(1) That Malaya has illegally squatted on and or occupied and pillaged these 2 countries and oppressed the people for 50 years;
(2) That Malaya pays back rental to the 2 colonies plus compensation for pain and sufferings;
(3) that UMNO de-colonises the 2 colonies, return all stolen wealth, compensation for damage to environment and interest from stolen wealth and
(4) that the Malayan occupation army evacuates from both countries.
Malaya and Sulus are fighting over the foreign soil of Sabah rightfully belonging to the Sabah people.
For worldwide discussion:
"That Brunei should claim back Sabah and Sarawak and form an independent federation of Borneo States"
The original Brunei Empire covered Sabah and Sarawak.
In 1962 the Brunei People's Party won the first and last Legislative Council general elections in Brunei and it put forward 3 resolutions:
i) Reject the idea of joining Malaysia
ii) Restore Brunei sovereignty over Sarawak and Sabah
iii) British grant of independence to the Borneo federation (North Kalimantan) by 1963.
These proposal makes more sense as the 3 territories were historically one entity.
Do all Sabahans and Sarawakians ever wonder why Brunei did not buy UMNO's ponzi scheme?
From the beginning UMNO wanted to be big brother and (1) take control of Brunei's oil wealth and (2) refused to give Brunei "equal partners" status by refusing to recognise that the Sultan has the same ranking as the Malayan sultans.
So Brunei was not treated equally. That was the 2 main reasons.
Singapore also left when it found out it was not an "equal partner" (promised by Tunku A Rahman ex-Malayan PM with fingers crossed behind his back).
Why are we still deluded by the fake "independence in Malaysia"?
It has turned out to be a ponzi scheme with a 50 year track record of totally failed promises. Malaya might as well have promptly filed the 18/20 Points agreement in a dustbin.
Do not Brunei and Singapore's examples tell us that being free and independent outside Malaysia has been such a blessing for them. So lucky.
We can all go back to bearing the Malayan colonial yoke and sleep without supper for 50 more years.
OR we can throw off this foreign apartheid yoke forever and become masters of our own destiny!
Malaya needs Sabah and Sarawak more than they need Malaya.
No Sabah No Sarawak No Malingsia!
Thank you for reading.
Footnote: On December 8 1962, Brunei patriots rose in an anti-Malaysia armed uprising against British rule and declared the independent State of North Kalimantan. They fought for our independence. Lest we forget.
Malaysia tidak perlu membawa isu hak Sabah ke Mahkamah Keadilan Antarabangsa (ICJ) kerana fakta sejarah dan bukan sejarah jelas menunjukkan ia sebuah negeri berdaulat dalam Malaysia, kata sejarawan Prof Emeritus Dr Ranjit Singh dari Universiti Utara Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteBeliau berhujah selain fakta sejarah, Kesultanan Sulu dan Filipina sebenarnya sudah hilang hak kedaulatan ke atas Sabah kepada Malaysia berdasarkan prinsip keberkesanan.
ReplyDeleteWalaupun pernah diperintah Kesultanan Sulu, Sabah atau sebelum ini dikenali sebagai Borneo Utara telah diletakkan di bawah pentadbiran British North Borneo Company pada 1878 dan kemudiannya Empayar British, sebelum diberikan kemerdekaan dan membentuk Persekutuan Malaysia bersama-sama Sarawak dan Tanah Melayu.
ReplyDelete"Jika anda tidak berbuat apa-apa terhadapnya, tidak mentadbirnya, tidak meluluskan sebarang undang-undang (di kawasan itu), anda hilang hak itu," katanya dalam wacana bertajuk "The Lahad Datu Imbroglio: The Sabah Claim and Beyond" di Universiti Malaya di sini, Jumaat.
ReplyDeleteMemberikan contoh kes Pulau Batu Puteh, katanya Malaysia hilang hak ke atas pulau itu kepada Singapura kerana walaupun merupakan pemegang hak, ia (Malaysia)tidak pernah mentadbir atau hadir secara fizikal di atas pulau itu.
ReplyDeleteDilaporkan akhbar Filipina "Philippine Star" beberapa hari lepas melaporkan kerajaan Filipina tidak pernah melepaskan Sabah dan telah melantik sepasukan peguam untuk mengkaji tuntutannya ke atas Sabah.
ReplyDeleteRanjit Singh, yang pakar dalam sejarah Sabah dan Sarawak, juga berkata isu itu tidak boleh dirundingi kerana kehendak penduduk Sabah perlu dihormati yang menerusi Suruhanjaya Cobbold pada 1962 telah memilih untuk membentuk Malaysia bersama-sama Sarawak dan Tanah Melayu.
ReplyDeleteRanjit Singh turut menggesa Malaysia menghentikan bayaran penyerahan tahunan kepada waris kesultanan itu di masa depan dan menutup kes itu dengan mengadakan dasar tegas untuk melindungi kedaulatan Sabah. "Sebaik sahaja kita berunding, kita akan sekali lagi berkompromi mengenai kedaulatan kita," katanya

Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteDalam perkembangan kenyataan dari Jamalul Kiram di media Filipina baru-baru ini, “sultan palsu: itu berikrar untuk melancarkan perang gerila terhadap negara kita sekiranya terus memburu saki baki orangnya yang bersembunyi di Sabah.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteMembalas kenyataan kurang ajar ketua penceroboh itu, Panglima Satu Divisyen Infantri Tentera Darat, Mejar Jeneral Datuk Ahmad Zaki Mokhtar menegaskan bahawa pasukan ATM di negara ini langsung tidak gentar dengan ugutan itu. Malah dengan semangat beliau berikrar akan menentang para penceroboh itu habis-habisan sehingga ke titisan darah yang terakhir!
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteSebenarnya saya tertanya-tanya, apakah Jamalulu Kiram itu fikir negara kita tidak mempunyai pasukan tentera? Dan apakah dia fikir Malaysia akan takut dengan ugutan serangan gerila dari pengikut-pengikutnya itu? Saya ingin bertanya, berapa ribu pengikut yang Jamalul Kiram ada dan patuh pada arahan gilanya?
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteApakah Kiram akan dapat bantuan dari rakan baik Anwar Ibrahim, Nur Misuari yang sebelum ini turut mengugut untuk menyerang Malaysia sekiranya para pengikut “sultan perasan” itu diapa-apakan?
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteDan apakah Kiram dan Misuari fikir mereka ada peluang untuk menjajah Sabah selama dua jam sebagaimana yang dikatakan di dalam sepucuk surat yang didedahkan oleh Wikileaks baru-baru ini?
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteSaya tidak menjemput musuh-musuh Malaysia itu untuk datang menyerang. Tapi kalau mereka benar-benar nak mencari nahas, cubalah ceroboh kedaulatan negara ini. Jangan ingat pasukan keselamatan kami bacul seperti penceroboh yang bersembunyi dalam semak di Lahad Datu.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteCubalah serang kalau betul-betul nak jadi mayat. Kalau para pengikut Kiram atau Kiram sendiri yang maut di bumi Sabah, jangan mimpi kalian akan dikebumikan di dalam wilayah Malaysia. Mayat kalian tidak layak untuk berada di sini.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteMayat-mayat kalian mungkin akan kami sempurnakan. Tapi untuk dikebumikan di bumi Malaysia, tidak sama sekali jawapannya. Kalian akan kami hantar ke Filipina. Kalau Kerajaan Filipina tak mahu terima, mungkin kalian akan kami campak ke laut perairan antarabangsa!

ReplyDeleteMenyedari jumlah lanun Sulu yang semakin berkurangan dibantai pasukan keselamatan Malaysia, Jamalul Kiram III yang masih bercakap besar bagi menunjukkan kononnya dia seorang sultan yang berdaulat telah 'menarik balik gencatan senjata' sebelah pihak yang diumumkannya beberapa hari lepas. Sebaliknya berita yang mengatakan 10,000 lanun Sulu yang sudah berada di Sabah semenjak 7 bulan lalu, telah dijadikan sebagai modal untuk menggertak kerajaan serta rakyat Malaysia.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteYang menariknya, 10,000 lanun Sulu yang dikatakan sudah berada di Sabah semenjak 7 bulan lalu hanya menunggu bantuan daripada tentera-tentera Amerika Syarikat untuk menawan Sabah.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteSebuah kapal perang Amerika Syarikat yang tersangkut di terumbu di Laut Sulu, telah dimusnahkan beberapa hari lepas. Beberapa persoalan berhubung pemilikan persenjataan yang lebih baik di kalangan lanun-lanun Sulu itu, jelas sekali merujuk kepada pendalangan beberapa pihak yang membiayai dari segi kewangan mahupun logistik kepada lanun-lanun Sulu tersebut.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteDari segi sejarah, keluarga Kiram adalah pembunuh Bangsamoro yang paling utama apabila datuk kepada Jamalul Kiram III membenarkan tentera Amerika Syarikat membunuh lebih 40,000 orang Sulu termasuklah wanita dan kanak-kanak sewaktu Amerika Syarikat menjadi penjajah Filipina.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteWalaupun kebanyakan daripada cakap-cakap besar Jamalul Kiram III tidak mempunyai bukti, tetapi yang pastinya pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak akan memandang mudah dan kemudian mengeluarkan kenyataan, 'JANGAN DENGAR KHABAR-KHABAR ANGIN' atau 'MEREKA BUKAN PENGGANAS'.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteSebaliknya pasukan keselamatan Malaysia akan melakukan penggempuran hebat seandainya lanun-lanun Sulu itu cuba mengganggu gugat mana-mana wilayah negara ini. Malaysia sudah memberikan peluang kepada lanun-lanun Sulu itu untuk menyerah dan meletakkan senjata serta berundur keluar dari Sabah dengan aman tetapi mereka pula menganggap, tolak ansur yang diberikan oleh Kerajaan Malaysia sebagai satu kelemahan. Nah, apabila Malaysia mulai bertindak, tindakan yang diambil pula dikatakan keganasan.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteSesuatu yang barangkali tidak difahami olehh lanun-lanun Sulu itu ialah, SELURUH RAKYAT MALAYSIA kecuali segelintir yang menjilat jubur Anwar Ibrahim dan DAP, memberi sepenuh keyakinan dan kepercayaan kepada keupayaan pasukan keselamatan Malaysia dari semua cabang dan unit.
Pasukan keselamatan Malaysia tidak sekali-kali gentar dengan ugutan “sultan palsu”, Jamalul Kiram yang buta sejarah, buta hati dan pengamal ajaran sesat
ReplyDeleteSeluruh rakyat Malaysia kecuali segelintir yang menjilat jubur Anwar Ibrahim dan DAP, berdiri teguh menyokong pasukan keselamatan Malaysia dalam menghadapi kebiadapan dan kekurangajaran lanun-lanun Sulu itu.
Sultan Mohamet Jamal Al Alam telah GRANT AND CEDE semua wilayah dan tanah dibawah penguasaannya yang terletak ditanah besar Pulau Borneo. Pertama, wilayah yang dimaksudkan adalah termasuk Sabah.
ReplyDeleteKedua, apakah maksud - Grant and Cede ? - give over, surrender or relinquish to the physical control of another, to surrender possession, hand over, renounce, yield ..Kalau Google Translate, terjemahan yang diberikan adalah - MEMBERIKAN DAN MENYERAHKAN.
ReplyDeleteWilayah dan tanah TERMASUK SABAH kemudiannya diSERAHkan kepada Overbeck and Dent dengan syarat sebarang pindahmilik kepada pihak lain harus mendapat keizinan dari Kerajaan British.
ReplyDeleteThis sanction was given through the agreement between Britain and Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore dated 9 July 1963 as shown in the United Nations Treaty Series of 1970 No. 10760.
DeleteKeizinan itu pula diberikan dalam perjanjian antara British dan Malaya, Borneo Utara, Sarawak dan Singapura yang akhirnya membentuk persekutuan Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteUnder the Principle of International Law, a people may exercise their right of self-determination on one occasion in its history. The people of Sabah exercised that right before the Cobbald Commission in the early 1960’s and chose to join Malaysia.
DeleteThe Western Sahara Case before the ICJ laid down the rule that it is for the people to determine the fate of the land and not the land the fate of the people.
DeleteJuga ada dinyatakan yang rakyat Sabah telah MEMILIH untuk menyertai Malaysia melalui Suruhanjaya Cobbald diawal 60an dan ini seiring dengan pendirian Mahkamah Antarabangsa yang menetapkan - Rakyat yang menetapkan nasib tanah / wilayah dan bukannya tanah / wilayah yang menetapkan nasib rakyat.
ReplyDelete*Hak Kesultanan Sulu keatas Sabah telah digugurkan pada tahun 1878 dan melalui perjanjian serta PILIHAN rakyat Sabah sendiri, Sabah adalah sebahagian dari negara Malaysia yang merdeka.
ReplyDeleteSultan Sulu palsu ni perlu sedar bahawa tuntutannya hanya sia-sia.
