ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – Malaysian authorities have imposed a food blockade on hundreds of followers of the sultan of Sulu who refuse to leave Sabah, an official of the sultanate said yesterday.

Abraham Idjirani, secretary general of the sultanate, decried the blockade as a violation of the rights of the members of the Sultanate Royal Army led by Raja Muda Abimuddin Kiram, who have been locked in a standoff with Malaysian forces for nearly a week in the coastal town of Lahad Datu in Sabah.

Idjirani said Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III would file a complaint with an international human rights organization to protest the latest action of Malaysia. The sultanate claims much of Sabah as ancestral land, and continues to receive rent from the Malaysian government.

“We have been stressing that our people went there in peace, Sabah being our homeland,” Idjirani said after the sultanate was informed yesterday that Malaysian authorities had prevented food supplies from being brought to Kiram’s followers.

This developed as the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and an aunt of President Aquino denied trying to sabotage the peace process with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

Margarita “Tingting” Cojuangco, the President’s aunt, called the report “irresponsible” and said she is closer to the MILF than to Misuari.

MNLF spokesman Emmanuel Fontanilla said the report is “a big lie.”

“Only a child would peddle such a tale. How can the MNLF and former national security adviser Norberto Gonzales conspire to sabotage the government?” Fontanilla said.

He claimed Gonzales had tried to have Misuari replaced as MNLF chairman. Gonzales was also instrumental in the arrest and imprisonment of Misuari in Malaysia, Fontanilla alleged.

He added that the MNLF is the victim of a conspiracy among some government officials, the MILF and Malaysia to stop the implementation of the 1996 peace agreement signed by Misuari with the Ramos administration.

MNLF chieftain Nur Misuari, however, admitted that members of his group were among those holed up in Sabah.

Misuari himself did not comment directly about the reported attempt to sabotage the peace process with the MILF, which broke away from the MNLF.

Instead, he told The STAR yesterday that he had appealed to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak not to use force on the group in Lahad Datu.

“We do not want bloodshed and we want to settle the issue of Sabah peacefully,” Misuari said. “If the Malaysians will harm our brothers, then we will get involved. They are our relatives and brothers in arms.”

He emphasized that the MNLF has ruled out the use of force to assert the Sulu sultanate’s claim to Sabah.

“We do not want a repeat of the Jabidah massacre,” Misuari said.

He was referring to the reported killing by the military of a Muslim unit called Jabidah in 1967, during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos, when the Muslims refused to be sent to Sabah to foment unrest and assert the Philippines’ claim.

Kiram said over the weekend that he had instructed his followers to stay put in Lahad Datu because “Sabah is our home.”

The assertion of the Sabah claim by the Sulu sultanate, according to highly placed sources, had infuriated President Aquino, who reportedly felt it was meant to sabotage the peace process with the MILF.

The sources said among those believed to have instigated the incident were Misuari, Norberto Gonzales, and Cojuangco and her husband Jose, younger brother of the late President Corazon Aquino.

Campaigning in Pampanga yesterday with the other senatorial candidates of the United Nationalist Alliance, Margarita Cojuangco said they would not allow a division in their family.

“They can never make my family fight. First of all, the Cojuangcos are focused on service first, and we always value our family’s unity,” she said as she demanded to know the source of the story.

At Malacañang, officials did not comment on the story, even as they denied rumors that Kiram would be arrested.

Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras would only say that the administration realized that not everyone would be pleased with gains in the peace process.

Development projects in MILF areas would be pursued, said Almendras, who heads the Task Force on Bangsamoro Development.

He said the Department of Foreign Affairs will handle the Philippines’ claim to Sabah – described by Aquino as “dormant” – and there is no need for a full Cabinet meeting on the issue.

Almendras denied that Aquino met with Kiram.

Misuari is running for governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) – a position he once held.

Several ARMM local leaders are calling for a probe into the involvement of Misuari’s MNLF faction in the standoff in Sabah.

Sources said Misuari and his group feared they would be marginalized after the government signed the framework peace agreement with the MILF in October last year.

No politics, please

For Sen. Francis Escudero, only a non-partisan effort by all concerned sectors can bring the Sabah standoff to a peaceful end.

“Politics should be kept out of this issue, this is a matter of national interest,” Escudero said.

“To achieve true and lasting peace in Mindanao, hindi puede ang pasaway (troublemakers should not be allowed),” Escudero said. “Enough is enough. We should all work towards one common goal – peace in Mindanao. I call on my fellow candidates not to use the Sabah issue to promote their own political interests,” he added.

Sen. Gregorio Honasan said the public should be cautious against conspiracy theories or making unfounded claims that can undermine the peace process.

“We don’t have evidence to support that theory,” he said, referring to concerns by some officials that the Sabah standoff was meant to sabotage the peace process between the government and the MILF.

“These are all speculations so we should be careful against propagating that theory because this might not be good for the peace talks, and the country,” Honasan said.

“In terms of timing, we should also be careful since the peace process is a work in process, and we should also be wary on making this issue as a partisan political issue,” he said.

But Sen. Panfilo Lacson said President Aquino’s sabotage claims should be taken seriously, since the President has “the wealthiest source of intelligence information like no other.”

“When he says the Sabah incident is probably sabotage operation to derail the Mindanao peace process, we should have no reason to doubt the same,” Lacson said.

Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III, for his part, said the government should assure the Sulu sultanate that the country is not giving up its Sabah claim even if peace negotiations with the MILF are ongoing.

“We will include the teaching of the Sabah claim as part of Philippine history. Then we pursue the claim on behalf of the sultanate in due time,” Pimentel said.

Earlier, Escudero called for a diplomatic initiative to address the plight of Filipinos who were born and raised in Sabah.

But Sen. Loren Legarda, chair of the Senate foreign relations committee, said that “for now, efforts should be directed at ensuring a peaceful resolution of the situation (in Sabah).” *– With Jose Rodel Clapano, Perseus Echeminada, Aurea Calica, Jaime Laude, John Unson, Christina Mendez

Aku baca forum filipina (timawa.net) kata bayaran sabah tu stop bulan mac 2013, ni mungkin rancangan orang sulu ni untuk demand duit lebih atau lanjutkan lagi tempoh bayaran.

rasanya sewa yg kita bayar tu sama mcm kes penang duk bayar kedah kot...berdasarkan perjanjian abad ke 18 dulu, Franciss light ( syarikat hindia timur inggeris ) bayar kepada Sultan Mumammad Jiwa masa tu sebagai pampasan pengambil alihan penang..( walaupun lepas tu menyaksikan peperangan antara inggeris dan kedah akibat ketidakpuasan hati sultan kedah masa tu dgn kadar bayaran tu dan kedah terpaksa serahkan sebahagian lagi tanahnya sekarang dikenali seberang perai )

dipercayai sehingga kini ada payments masih dibayar oleh penang kepada kedah, tapi aku tak sure nak istilahkan apa bayaran tu..pampasan ke, sewa ke, hadiah/ufti ke..

rasanya kes Sabah ni sama gak kot..kita meneruskan apa yg inggeris buat masa mereka mula bertapak di sabah dulu..membayar kadar tertentu kepada kesultanan sulu..

LAHAD DATU: Three Al-Jazeera journalists covering the stand-off with the Sulu gunmen were detained for nearly seven hours by the police and released.
They were detained at about 8am on Wednesday in a boat near Tanjung Labian not far from the seaside village of Kg Tanduo and taken to the Cenderawasih police station for questioning.

Detained together with them was a boatman and three locals, which Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Youth said were their members, including their Tungku Youth chief Mohd Ahsraf Amir.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib said all were released except for the boatman who did not have a proper identity document on him.
Hamza said that they were detained as they were trying to enter a security area and it was for their own safety.
Hamza urged local and foreign journalists to avoid trying to enter the area as it might create untoward incidents.

Sabah Progressive Party assistant secretary Suaib Mutalib said the three SAPP youth members were accompanying the Al-Jazeera journalists who wanted to cover the stanfoff between the Malaysian security and the Sulu gunmen.

He said that the General Operations Force (PGA), which detained them, handed them to the police who recorded their statements and released them at about 3.30pm.

“They were taken to the Chenderawasih police station at Tungku and only released seven and half hours later about 3.30pm after police took their statements,” Suaib said. – More reports on standoff in A3

Businessman: I am the Sultan of North Borneo



Proclamation: Rajak showing his business card during an interview with The Star.

LAHAD DATU - A claimant to the North Borneo Sulu Sultanate is disputing the claim of a Sulu armed group that Sabah was their ancestral homeland.

"My family is the rightful owner of the throne," said the 45-year-old Lahad Datu businessman Datu Abdul Rajak Aliuddin, who has proclaimed himself as the sixth Sultan of North Borneo.

The controversial Rajak has been detained and charged for burning the Sabah flag and raising the North Borneo Sultanate flag with the lion symbol.

He said that the Sulu armed group led by Raja Muda Azzimudie Kiram, the brother of the Philippines based Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram, had no right to claim Sabah, which was previously known as North Borneo.

"My father Aliuddin Agas was recognised as the fifth Sultan of North Borneo.

"He was one of those who signed the framework for the Malaysia agreement in 1962," he said, showing documents to back his claim.

He said the Azzimudie group had no right to use the yellow flag with the lion, which was purportedly raised in Kampung Tanduo after they occupied the village at Felda Sahabat 17 from Feb 9.

Azzimudie and more than 100 of his followers, including gunmen in military fatigues, had demanded that Malaysia recognise them as the Royal Sulu Sultanate Army and that no subject of the Sultan of Sulu be deported as Sabah was their ancestral home.

Rajak told reporters here that the occupation of the village of Tanduo was a sandiwara (acting) for political reasons.

He claimed that after the 1863 Brunei rebellion, North Borneo was made an autonomous sultanate with two other autonomous sultanates of Bolongan covering northern Kalimantan and Sulu in southern Philippines.

He said they were all made autonomous, and individual children of the Sultan were given full control of their respective kingdoms.

Even Pahlawan, Tawi Tawi and Siasi in southern Philippines were under the sultanate of North Borneo, he claimed.

Historically, there were numerous claimants to the Sulu Sultanate.

Over the years, claimants to the throne have produced many documents to the media to back their claims.

Last year in Kota Kinabalu, businessman Datu Mohamad Akjan proclaimed himself as the rightful heir of the Sulu Sultanate and held a ceremony to declare himself as Sultan.

Police questioned Akjan after photos of him as the Sultan of Sulu became public.

dah 10 hari krisis ni berlaku..macam2 persoalan dan sepkulasi timbul...
ni ada 1 entry mungkin dah dapat buat kesimpulan disebalik semua onar ni


CATATAN: Terdapat perkataan di dalam posting kali ini yang agak kesat kerana saya sebagai orang Sabah memang terasa sangat tension dengan perkara ini. So readers discretion is advised. Tapi perkara ini juga telah diperbincangkan dengan beberapa teman di dalam the Watchers Group termasuklah seorang yang kini bertugas sebagai pegawai tinggi konsulat bagi negara dot dot dot. Memang sungguh memalukan apabila mendengar sahabat tersebut berkata dengan nada sinis "kenapa ya kumpulan teroris bersenjata bisa lolos masuk ke Malaysia? Malahan mau dibawa berunding lagi? Loh dulu masa zaman konfrontasi antara negara kita komando kami yang masuk ke Malaysia malah terus ditembak tanpa salam. Yang ini pula dari pilipin malahan mau dipujuk-pujuk lagi katanya. Huh.. kalau di negara kami kalau ada yang mendekat ke perbatasan kami membawa senjata tanpa ijin, pasti akan TNI hapuskan begitu aja.."

So sekarang ni mungkin negara kita menjadi ejekan tentera Indonesia dan Singapura la kot? Patutlah ramai tentera melayu Malaysia yang berkampung di Lahad Datu sekarang ni tension semacam jak kat Hisyamuddin.


KENYATAAN TERBUKA MENGENAI INSIDEN PENCEROBOHAN OLEH PENGGANAS TAUSUG DI LAHAD DATU, SABAH

Dengan takzimnya saya menyeru kepada pejuang Islam Bangsamoro dan di Selatan Thailand (PULO) agar menyokong usaha Tentera Melayu di Malaysia dalam menangani usaha-usaha musuh Islam yang telah memperbodohkan waris Sultan Sulu serta militan-militan upahan bersenjata yang sedang mengancam keselamatan Malaysia.

Adalah diharapkan agar pejuang bangsamoro yang selama ini menerima bantuan senjata dan sokongan daripada Malaysia agar dapat membantu menghalang lebih ramai tentera-tentera upahan yang merupakan serpihan daripada MILF dan MNLF daripada ikut serta bergabung dengan pengganas-pengganas demi mendapatkan habuan wang ringgit.

Sesungguhnya apa yang berlaku sekarang adalah dirancang dengan rapi bersempena dengan Pilihanraya Umum Ke-13 Malaysia untuk mencapai hasrat berikut:-

1. Ancaman keselamatan di Sabah sengaja dilaksanakan pada waktu ini bagi memperbodohkan Menteri Dalam Negeri Malaysia (yang memang bodoh) untuk mengalihkan kekuatan Tentera dan Unit Perisikan agar bertumpu ke Sabah. Tujuannya ialah sekiranya berlaku huru-hara di Semenanjung sebelum, semasa atau selepas PRU13 maka pihak tentera tidak dapat segera turun membantu pihak PDRM.

2. Operasi Militan Waris Raja Suluk ini adalah direncana untuk gagal semenjak awal lagi manakala ratusan wanita dan kanak-kanak sengaja dibawa untuk terbunuh semasa pertempuran. Tujuannya adalah untuk membangkitkan rasa benci orang Islam di Malaysia kepada perjuangan Bangsamoro dan kecaman antarabangsa kepada Kerajaan Malaysia. Oleh itu sekiranya Pakatan Pembangkang memenangi pilihanraya maka Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang baru dengan mudah akan dapat sokongan parlimen dan rakyat untuk memberhentikan kesemua bantuan kemanusiaan, senjata dan dana pembangunan kepada wilayah bangsamoro.

3. Perdana Menteri yang baru iaitu Anwar Ibrahim juga akan mempergunakan hasil insiden meluluskan ketetapan untuk menghentikan kesemua kerjasama dan bantuan kepada kumpulan pejuang-pejuang lain di Asia iaitu PULO di Selatan Thailand dan Pejuang Palestin atas alasan yang sama. Oleh itu secara dasarnya, Kerajaan sekular yang baru akan mempergunakan sentimen kebencian rakyat Malaysia kepada militan suluk untuk menyahut seruan Amerika Syarikat untuk menghentikan bantuan kepada semua kumpulan yang disenaraikan sebagai pengganas oleh Amerika Syarikat yang mana HAMAS, PULO dan pejuang Bangsamoro adalah turut tersenarai.

4. Perdana Menteri yang baru iaitu Anwar Ibrahim juga akan mempergunakan hasil insiden ini untuk mengecam Tentera Malaysia dan memecat Jeneral Melayu yang kini sedang berkhidmat. Dominasi orang Islam melayu di dalam Tentera Malaysia akan dihapuskan melalui rombakan tersebut.

5. Perdana Menteri yang baru juga akan mempergunakan insiden ini untuk menguasai undi di Sabah. Sebelum pilihanraya pakatan pembangkang akan menunjukkan rasa simpati kepada wanita dan kanak-kanak yang terbunuh untuk memancing undi daripada suku kaum Bajau dan Suluk di Sabah (Manakala undi kaum Kadazan dan Cina dipancing menggunakan isu kalimah Allah dan Bible). Manakala sebaik sahaja memenangi pilihanraya Anwar Ibrahim akan memindahkan kesalahan serta menggunakan suratkhabar untuk membangkitkan sentimen anti-Suluk dan anti-kaum imigran dikalangan suku kaum lain. Kesemua orang suluk di Sabah akan dicop sebagai anasir mengancam keselamatan negara dan diburu. Ini juga akan membawa kepada operasi besar-besaran menangkap dan menghalau kesemua suku kaum lain ke negara asal terutamanya suku kaum bugis. Ini sudah pernah berlaku semasa isu serangan golongan pro-Nazi dan skinhead kepada kaum imigran di Eropah. Selepas PRU13 ia akan juga berlaku di Sabah dan Semenanjung.

Saya merayu kepada Perdana Menteri agar mendengar nasihat daripada Jeneral-Jeneral di dalam Tentera Melayu Diraja dan bukannya mendengar nasihat daripada Hishamuddin. Berikanlah lebih kepercayaan kepada Jeneral Tentera kita yang mempunyai pengetahuan luas mengenai ancaman daripada luar ini. Sekiranya dinasihatkan bahawa perlu serangan bersenjata dilakukan sekarang ke atas kumpulan militan pengganas di Lahad Datu itu, maka nasihat tersebut sebaiknya diterima.


(P/S: Sebagai orang Sabah saya memahami profil sikap kaum ini di Sabah terutama yang baru datang dari Filipina. Mungkin patut Kerajaan offer bounty RM10 juta kepada sesiapa yang dapat menangkap (atau memenggal) ketua pengganas yang mengaku waris Sultan Sulu di Lahad Datu itu sekarang. RM10 juta adalah lebih dari mencukupi untuk menyebabkan dikalangan kumpulan militan itu mengacu senjata sesama sendiri untuk mendapatkan wang tersebut. Ini kerana mereka bukan pejuang kebebasan. Mereka cuma join sebab mereka sangka Kerajaan Malaysia akan sanggup bayar wang tebusan sekiranya mereka bersedia balik ke Filipina)

afterdarkwrites.blogspot.com/2013/02/ken...ngenai-insiden.html.

Sokongan, doa dan harapan tetap kita panjatkan pada anggota keselamatan kita. Ya Allah, kau permudahkanlah urusan mereka, sekiranya mereka terkorban, syahidlah mereka dan tempatkanlah mereka bersama dengan orang yang beriman..

Sekiranya tidak, Kau permudahkanlah urusan dan usaha mereka dlm memerangi pihak yang membuat onar di tanah tumpah air ku ini..

Amin..

Sejarah 3 RAMD...

Peristiwa Kalabakan

Satu peristiwa yang tidak mungkin dapat dilupakan, sekaligus menjadi satu titik hitam dalam lipatan sejarah RAMD ialah Peristiwa Kalabakan. Dalam tragedi berdarah ini, seorang pegawai dan tujuh anggota Batallion ke-3 RAMD terkoban, manakala 18 orang anggota lagi tercedera. Peristiwa berdarah ini berlaku pada tanggal 29 Disember 1963. Tempat berlakunya tragedi berdarah yang menimpa Batallion ke-3 RAMD itu terletak tidak jauh dari tebing Sungai Kalabakan. Lokasinya kira-kira 30 batu ke utara Tawau dan 12 batu ke utara sempadan Kalimantan, Indonesia. Di situ terletak dua penempatan kecil Pasukan Keselamatan Malaysia yang terdiri daripada satu penempatan Pasukan Polis Hutan dan sebuah lagi penempatan tentera terletak di suatu lereng bukit


PERISTIWA Semur

Dalam kejadian Sungai Semur pada 25 Mac, 1950, Platun No. 12 seramai 25 anggota dari Kompeni D, 3 RAMD telah diserang hendap oleh sekumpulan pengganas komunis dengan kekuatan seramai 250 anggota ketika menyusuri sungai tersebut kira-kira jam 10.30 pagi.

Dalam serang hendap di Sungai Semur ini, 17 orang anggota 3 RAMD terkorban dalam pertempuran menentang kira-kira 250 pengganas komunis sementara enam anggota cedera parah sementara dua lagi anggota mengalami cedera ringan. Meskipun tewas, mereka menunjukkan semangat juangn yang tinggi melawan pasukan musuh yang hampir 10 kali ganda kekuatan mereka. Malah mereka berjaya membunuh seramai 29 orang musuh

GO GO GO 3 RAMD..

Jacinto also disturbingly writes that “The intrusion occurred just as former Malaysian leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, also Pakatan Rakyat de facto leader, proposed that Sabah be granted autonomy.” Anwar Ibrahim, a Rizalian scholar, is known as a stalwart against the ruling UMNO party-led coalition in Malaysia. Now we should not be involved in the domestic politics of Malaysia.
