Scion Turbocharged March 3, 2013 Share March 3, 2013 for those who are interested in a little bit of history, and the reason of the conflict happening in Sabah now before 1917, there was this kingdom that ruled Sabah, Palawan and part of Mindanao (Philippines) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultanate_of_Sulu the Sulu Sultanate was annexed by the British in 1917, and later in 1963, Sabah (together with Sarawak) became part of the Federation of Malaysia however, the descendants and followers of the kingdom are still claiming their territories and fighting for their ruling rights ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather's farm was also 'annexed' by gahmen in 1970. Now in its place are multimillion dollar properties.

Redstorm 1st Gear March 3, 2013 Share March 3, 2013 (edited) Very complicated issue here. The Philippines government have long ago dropped claim to Sabah and in doing so, in their own interest, it will not allow any party to claim the Sabah as part of the Sulu sultanate. Imagine having the Sulu Sultanate governing Sabah and it is going to be a threat to Philippines' security as it already have its hand full dealing with the various Muslim extremists within the country and having the Sulu Sultanate in Sabah is going to make the matter worse. With so many parties claiming to be the descendent of the sultan, it is going to be extremely difficult to prove who is the legitimate descendent let alone fight the case in the international court of law. Besides, I don't think Malaysia and Philippines will want to allow the Sulu descendents to bring the matter to the international court.

Macrosszero Turbocharged March 3, 2013 Share March 3, 2013 Instead of one hotspot there seems to be three separate incidents. The body count is rising. Although I have little doubt that our neighbours can deal with this, I wonder how many more lives need to be lost before this insurrection is put down? It also brings into stark reality that professional soldiers and policemen can lose their lives on the job at any time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged March 3, 2013 Share March 3, 2013 http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...&sec=nation SEMPORNA: Several villagers in Kg Senalang beat to death a 60-year-old former Moro National Liberation Front commander who was armed with a grenade launcher and had gathered several people at a mosque on Sunday. Sabah police chief Datuk Hamza Taib said the 20-odd youths, who were angry with the commander, had confronted him, took away his weapons and beat him up. The commander later died. Bernama reports that in the 7am incident, the big-sized man, dressed in black and armed with a M16 rifle, was coming down a hill when he let off a few shots at the direction of the village. Villager Abdul Hani Samaullah, 44, told Bernama that the man shouted: "I'm the one who shot the police last night." "The man then kicked open the doors of the houses and ordered the villagers to gather at a vacant area," said Abdul Hani. He said the villagers attacked the man when he squatted down to light a cigarette and put down his rifle. On the situaion in Kg Simunul, Hamza said police were still ascertaining the number of people killed and injured in the shootout after Saturday night's clash with armed Sulu intruders. Hamza made no mention of a hostage situation or if there was a stand-off with the gumnen. The army has cordoned off the village and was co-ordinating with the police on the situation. At least six ambulances were seen at the scene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
