The source said the armed men arrived in small groups to evade the Philippine and Malaysian naval blockade.
MNLF spokesman Emmanuel Fontanilla confirmed thousands of Tausugs has began preparing since the outbreak of hostilities between the royal sultanate army of Kiram and Malaysian forces.
“As per information, the armed men arrived in small batches,” he said.
It was not known, however, if the armed men joined the fighting in Lahad Datu but last week the sultanate of Sulu said at least 100 heavily armed men have rejoined the group of Kiram on the outskirts of town.
It was learned that the 100 men were now part of the 1,000 armed followers that joined Kiram, also known as raja muda or crown prince, in various parts of Sabah.
Sultanate spokesman Abraham Idjirani last week revealed Kiram had called him up to report that new arrivals joined his group in the ongoing battle with Malaysian forces in Lahad Datu.
MALAYSIA SECURITY NET FAILS SABAH AGAIN
ReplyDeleteHow could 100o more armed men get into Sabah without being detected?
Isn't the UMNO BN government doings its job to justify formation of Malaysia by protecting Sabah from Invasion 1 (300 armed Suluks) and Invasion 1 (1000 armed MNLF men).
“For instance, you cannot say our coastline is too wide therefore you cannot protect us, because security was the main guarantee given to Sabah for forming Malaysia"
Do owe sit back and watch Vietnam War 2 replayed in Sabah?
Sabahans vote wisely and take back Sabah from Malayan control!

ReplyDeleteAnother propaganda or scared tactics to show the world that they still "had it".
Reality is, they can't even move more than 10 meters from the Phillipines border without being detected by either Malaysia or Philippines Navy.
Malaysia had pleaded with the US government to intervene in the Philippines’ claim over Sabah in 1973, according to a series of recently declassified US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks yesterday.
ReplyDeleteA secret cable from Henry Kissinger’s term as the US Secretary of State showed that former Malaysian ambassador to the US Tun Omar Ong Yoke Lin had arranged a meeting with US ambassador Jack W. Lydman to discuss the issue, possibly under orders from then Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein.
ReplyDelete“Ong presented the, by now, well-known Government of Malaysia (GOM) position on problem with Government of Philippines (GOP), but with special emphasis on deep concern of Razak about this problem and its impact on his relations with Marcos and unity of Asean,” said Lydman, who was posted to Malaysia between 1969 and 1973.
ReplyDeleteHis 30 minute pitch ... ended up with a fairly direct request that US Government (USG) use its influence on Marcos to have him agree to abandon Sabah claim,” he wrote, referring to then President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos.
ReplyDeleteThe North Borneo territories were ceded by the Sulu Sultanate to the Macapagal administration in 1962, leading the Philippines to pursue its claim over Sabah in international courts. When Sabah was included in the Federation of Malaysia, diplomatic relations between the two countries were temporarily severed.
ReplyDeleteMalacañang on Monday dismissed reports of alleged regrouping of the fighters of the Sulu sultanate’s royal security force under the command of Agbimuddin Kiram in Lahad Datu, Sabah.
ReplyDelete“We want a peaceful resolution. If they (Sulu Sltan Jamalul Kiram) claim to want a peaceful resolution, they should be moving toward that direction. We don’t see that happening on their side. They have still been saying incendiary statements which is not good for this country, which is not good for the Filipinos in Sabah, because that compel so much, so many Filipinos to come home to the Philippines,” he said.
