Dompok adamant, wants to surrender IC

Queville To

Nazri Aziz’s rejection of calls to revoke and re-issue ICs to genuine Sabahans has again raised suspicions over the current RCI hearing and the government’s sincerity.

PENAMPANG 31/03/2013: If not for the invasion of a small village on the east coast of Sabah a few weeks ago by a group of armed Filipinos calling themselves the Royal Army of Sulu, the fate of over a million new immigrants – legal and illegal – would have been settled.

They would have all been so thoroughly embedded in Sabah’s social fabric that any change to their status would have caused economic and political upheaval in the state that would never be permitted.

‘MALAYSIA IS AFRAID’

‘Malaysia is afraid’

FMT Staff

Sabah's population of 3.2 million includes 1.5 million documented and undocumented Filipinos and the backlash of the recent invasion has 'united' the Filipinos in Sabah and in Sulu.

KOTA KINABALU 28/03/2013: Sulu sultanate spokesman Abraham Idjirani today slammed the Malaysian security forces for restricting the movements of Filipino residents in Sabah to such an extent that these frightened individuals now want to return to the Philippines.

“It is a psy-war by Malaysia to force the Filipinos to leave,” Idjirani said, adding that with the end of the standoff a new reality had emerged for Malaysia.

He said the Sulu sultanate was adamant on its claim for Sabah and this was seen as a threat to Malaysia.

Idjirani said Sabah’s population of 3.2 million included the 1.5 million documented and undocumented Filipinos and the “war” waged between the sultanate’s army and the Malaysian securities forces had “united” the Filipinos.

SULU INCURSION FUELS SABAHAN ANGER AGAINST PROJEK IC, BN

Sulu incursion fuels Sabah native anger against Projek IC, BN

BY CLARA CHOOI

KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — Barisan Nasional’s (BN) hold over Sabah is likely to be cut by the state’s native anger over the Sulu incursion, which they say is the result of the controversial citizenship-for-votes award under “Projek IC” blamed on several ruling coalition politicians.

To the Kadazandusun and Murut (KDM) communities, the largest ethnic category in the BN “fixed deposit state”, the Sulu gunmen’s easy entry into Sabah last month was largely because foreigner infiltration was made so easy for decades by the 1980s initiative.

Under ‘Projek IC’ hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants were given citizenship in exchange for their votes for the ruling coalition in Sabah.They believe the militant group from the Sulu archipelago in the southern Philippines had managed to organise their attacks better as many of their sympathisers and family members were already residing in the Borneo state, thanks to “Projek IC”.

“This is the mother of all problems in Sabah. It has always been the mother of all problems. People know about it. Everyone knows about it,”

PENCEROBOHAN SULU BANGKITKAN KEMARAHAN RAKYAT SABAH TERHADAP PROJEK IC, BN

Pencerobohan Sulu bangkitkan kemarahan penduduk Sabah terhadap Projek IC, BN

OLEH CLARA CHOOI

KUALA LUMPUR, 26 Mac — Kekuasaan Barisan Nasional (BN) di Sabah mungkin berakhir kerana kemarahan penduduk tempatan berhubung pencerobohan Sulu, yang mereka kata disebabkan oleh pemberian kewarganegaraan sebagai pertukaran kepada undi di bawah “Projek IC” dan menyalahkan beberapa ahli politik gabungan pemerintah itu.

Bagi komuniti Kadazandusun dan Murut (KDM), kategori etnik terbesar di “negeri deposit tetap” BN, pemberontak bersenjata Sulu mudah masuk ke Sabah kerana kebanjiran warga asing telah berlaku berdekad lalu di bawah inisiatif pada tahun 1980an.

Mereka percaya kumpulan militan dari Sulu di selatan Filipina berjaya menyusun serangan kerana ramai simpatisan kumpulan itu dan ahli keluarga sememangnya menetap di negeri Borneo tersebut, disebabkan oleh “Projek IC”.

LAHAD DATU: ESSZONE SET UP TO HALT INCURSIONS

Lahad Datu: Esszone set up to halt incursions

By FARIK ZOLKEPLI and AUSTIN CAMOENS

KUALA LUMPUR 26/03/2013: The Eastern Sabah Safety Zone (Esszone) to prevent incursions and ensure the security of the state has been formed.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that it comprised 10 districts Kudat, Kota Marudu, Pitas, Beluran, Sandakan, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Semporna and Tawau.

The zone, he said, would be administered by the Esszone Committee chaired by Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, with its headquarters in Lahad Datu.

“He (Musa) will be assisted by a chief executive officer and other members to be announced later,” he said during the 206th Police Day Celebrations at the Police Training Academy yesterday.

Najib said the formation of the safety zone was in line with the setting up of the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom), aimed at safeguarding eastern Sabah.

“The establishment of Esszone does not constitute a declaration of emergency. It will not prevent free and democratic elections from taking place in the area involved.”

It is learnt Esscom would act as an authoritative body for the Esszone. For example, any activity, be it social or security efforts in the safety zone, would be coordinated through Esscom.

RECALL ALL MYKADS ISSUED IN SABAH – DOMPOK

Recall all MyKads issued in Sabah – Dompok

by Nancy Lai

PENAMPANG 25/03/2013: United Pasokmomogun KadazanDusun Murut Organization (UPKO) president Tan Sri Bernard Dompok has asked for all Malaysian identity cards issued in Sabah to be recalled and re-issued to only those identified as genuine Sabahans.

REVENGE OF THE SABAH BN LOSERS?

Revenge of the Sabah BN losers?

Native Sabah ministers – Pairin Kitingan, Bernard Dompok and Joseph Kurup – have backed opposition SAPP's call for all Sabah ICs to be recalled and re-issued.

PENAMPANG 25/03/2013: Project IC is coming back with a vengence to wreak havoc in the Umno-led Barisan Nasional Sabah government.

Twenty years ago, Umno rode on the coat-tails of the project to usurp political power from the local native parties. The plan then was for Project IC to strengthen Umno’s hold on the state but the blowback from the dubious scheme could now unseat the party – permanently.

Three of the ruling coalition’s component parties – United Pasokmomogun KadazanDusun Murut Organisation (Upko), Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) – are edging away from Umno to soften a voter backlash over a host of problems facing the state.

The more Dr Mahathir defends Project IC, the closer the opposition gets to usurping Barisan Nasional in the coming polls.

KOTA KINABALU 25/03/2013: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad may be the best thing that has happened to the opposition in Sabah, according to a state Barisan Nasional coalition member.

Mahathir’s continued comments on the clandestine ‘Project IC’ that was in operation during his tenure is only serving to rile up voters in the state against the BN, said Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) supreme council member Chin Tek Ming.

INTRUDERS FIGHTING ALONGSIDE AGBIMUDIN KIRAM ARE MERCENARIES - ZAHID

LAHAD DATU: 'Intruders were guns for hire'

MERCENARIES 24/03/2013: Philippines confirm that Agbimudin's men were paid, says Zahid

THE intruders fighting alongside self-styled Sulu crown prince Azzimudie @ Agbimudin Kiram are mercenaries.

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said this was corroborated by the Philippine government when he met the country's Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario and Department of National Defence Secretary Voltaire T. Gazmin.

"We received similar feedback from the Philippine government that the armed men were paid to carry out the attacks in Sabah.

"We have learnt that they are used to carrying weapons and have done so since the 1970s during the armed struggle helmed by Nur Misuari, the founding chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF),"

Tindakan polis di Sabah berdasarkan perundangan negara: Ismail

KUALA LUMPUR 23/03/2013: Penahanan dan pendakwaan terhadap lapan rakyat Filipina berkaitan kes pencerobohan Sabah dibuat berdasarkan perundangan negara, kata Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Ismail Omar.

Beliau berkata, polis mempunyai cukup bukti dan Jabatan Peguam Negara yang berpuas hati dengan kertas siasatan polis mengambil tindakan mendakwa mereka di mahkamah.

Khamis lalu, lapan daripada 108 individu yang ditahan di bawah Akta Kesalahan Keselamatan (Langkah-Langkah Khas) (Sosma) dituduh di Mahkamah Tinggi Tawau di bawah Kanun Keseksaan.

Dua daripada mereka menghadapi tuduhan melancarkan perang terhadap Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan menjadi anggota kumpulan pengganas, empat didakwa menjadi anggota kumpulan pengganas dan dua lagi dituduh cuba melindungi kumpulan pengganas.

Serentak itu Ismail menolak dakwaan Jamalul Kiram bahawa lapan individu terbabit adalah rakyat Malaysia.

"Polis tidak akan menahan seseorang tanpa mempunyai bukti-bukti yang kukuh,"
