Watch out for the BN Spin

All Malaysians must be aware of the kind of spin that the BN will provide just before Malaysians go to cast their votes.

I am sure all Malaysians are aware of what Mahahtir did before he faced Semangat 46 in the 1990 polls.
On the eve of that elections Joseph Pairin and PBS the then ruling party of Sabah declared their support for Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Semangat 46 and then got him to wear the famous Kadazan headpiece that of the leader of the Kadazans,  it apparently had a cross on it's face side and UMNO in its typical style interpreted that to mean that he was now backing the Christians. Well of course with people like Mahathir one can imagine the kind of spin stories he could generate with that head piece and that he did with lightening speed and as a result  Semangat 46 and its Gagasan Rakyat were dealt a huge defeat. 

Pre elections opinion polls showed Tengku Razaleigh as a sure contender for the position and even more so because they were aligned with DAP, PAS and now PBS had switched camps, and many in the opposition parties to this day believe that PBS actually helped Mahathir execute a BN plan for which Pairin  although a key player got nothing in return but scorn from UMNO.

What Mahathir did in an  immediate response to PBS withdrawal from the BN on that day on October 15 1990 was a piece of brilliant electoral strategy to deny Tengku Razaleigh a sure victory at   the elections with a predicted  more than two thirds majority at a time when pre elections poll's predicted a Gagasan Rakyat victory and the two thirds was  a certianity now that the  PBS decided to cross over. 

What looked like a great coup of sorts turned do out to become the oppositions biggest folly the one photograph did it all, the spin that was circulated  was this man was joining with the Christians to undermine the Muslims, and the Malays bought the story, the rest is history.

Lim Kit Siang has not forgiven Joseph pairin to this day for that act, in fact many in the opposition believe he (Joseph Pairin) knowingly played his part in the  Mahithirian  strategy as the polls indicated that BN would lose the elections in 1990.

Spinning is a Mahathir specialty,  I'll repeat Spinning is a Mahatherian strategy, we have seen how he spins everything, from first denying that he had any part in the illegal IC plot in Sabah to then justifying his actions agaisnt what the Tengku did. How he conveniently forgets what he needs to forget and remembers in detail other issues that are in his vested interest to be remembered, where he claims he is not a racialist and yet is the most ardent supporter of Ibrahim Ali, where he threw scorn at the Royalty and today talks like he is their most worthy servant that is Mahathir Mohammed in his element.

So you see there is in the Barisan "a Spin Doctor in the house," and they are preparing some very strategic spins to fool the rakyat with at the coming elections. He will use all his wit at the coming elections to fool the electorate, he has a vested interest he wants to make his son the PM before he dies, he is so scared Anwar will hold him to account.

Reports from the UK state that Malaysians are today among the largest of purchases of prime UK residential property, and who else can that be other than UMNO and BN sponsored billionaires.

BEWARE OF THIS SPIN - FOR THE NEXT ELECTIONS

One that is about to begin making it's rounds is, "that the BN will be actually supporting many   Pakatan candidates,  the reason being they have already bought them over and the minute they win,  these candidates will cross over to the BN."  If anyone tells you this it is a lie, it is designed to confuse the voters, this ss part of the BN strategy

This spin message has already been sent to all BN branch heads and Divisional heads in the areas they are about to claim they are backing the candidate, this is being done to create confusion amongst the supporters of Pakatan in an effort to get them to refrain from voting, or spoiling their vote or even voting for the BN.

This claim is a lie, yes it is a lie, it has to be explained to every voter, there is no such thing, and it is being done to confuse the electorate. Do not fall for it, the more they say that about a candidate the more determined you must b to vote that candidate. Pass the word around and reprint this report  as many times as you want to, come the eleventh hour the BN will throw everything they have got, do not believe them on anything even if they tell you that they are not going to stand only make sure that on elections day you are there in the electoral booth early and cast your vote for only the Pakatan candidate. 

 Foreign Artists to draw crowds

The Penang Story

In desperation Najib has to use foreign artists to draw crowds to his gatherings. Malaysian Artists are not good enough for the BN and its cronies. They hold birthday parties in England Malaysia is not good enough fore them

Najib, for his Penang appearance brought in the famous Korean artist Park Jae-sang aka Psy who created the now world famous "Gangnam Style." with the refrain refrain "Oppan Gangnam Style" (translated as "Big brother is Gangnam style", with Psy referring to himself not Najib please).

If your memory serves you right you'll realise all the spin about Psy's visit, one was that he was so impressed by Najib he had requested a meeting with Najib and if that was the case why had we to pay him two million dollars for his short appearance, and worse still why was he not there to "lo lo" the Eee Sang immediately after his performance with najib whom he "so admired?"

Ooops!!! I forgot the Police told us there was a security threat, but it was safe for him to perform, and it was safe for him to have dinner in a Korean Restaurant  that night, the police may have already caught all the suspects by evening  one would  suppose, the same police force that have left so many murders, assaults and other crimes unsolved.

Then of course all the stories about who was paying for Psy to come, so imagine the spin just to get to Penang to draw a crowd who told him point blank NO!!! NO!!!!!!!!! AND NO!!!!!!! the three times he asked them, "Are you ready for BN."

Any idiot would have stopped at one, once he got the answer but he persisted and went for three, that is because he is a "script speaker,"  he follows the script to the letter, and that explains his reluctance to debate with Anwar on live national TV. He'' say things like "Saiful came to see me in my home because he wanted a scholarship," remember? After which it changed umpteen times to avoid all that he needs a script, and that to with a script he does now know how to articulate it to meet the situation as was at the Psy concert.

And who are we talking about? Well let me remind you he is Najib Tun Razak, the lonest serving Prime Minister without a mandate, or to make it more clear to you millennials by default.

Najib's  Pahang ATNA (All Talk No Action)

As usual it is all talk and no action, it is typically Najib, if you tell the people of Kuantan that Najib is coming they'd probably wish someone throws some Lynas waste material on his face, so he decided to go to Kuantan and to draw the crowds this time he brought in Jackie Chan.

Well we all knwo Jackie Chan is a huge draw, probably brought in by Ng Yen Yen's Minsitry of Tourism Company the Company supposed to bring in more tourists into the country by organising events, but this only brought Malaysians To the Darul makmur Stadium. I can tell you a better way to bring in a bigger crowd stage a Pahang v Selangor Final football match there, it woudl not be that costly, if you need a bigger crowd get Singapore to play Malaysia there and you'll see more than 20,000, so wh Jackie Chan?

Well Najib went to Kuantan to Fish. Yes, fish for Chinese votes, yes he got the crowd he raised money but he'll not get the votes,  the Malaysian Chinese as you will see are not fools.

We all know how seriously the Malaysian Chinese take education and more so in Malaysian Chinese Schools,  more and more of them are now enrolling their children in these schools,  and now  the Malays and the Indians are taking Chinese School education seriously sending their children there too the quality speaks for itself.

Chinese school education has proven itself to be superior if not at least on par with the best Malaysian national Type schools, they have even surpassed the mission schools where the government has intervened, and their UEC qualification is internationally recognized but ironically does not receive recognition from the Malaysian government. These are Malaysian Schools and instead of being proud of them they are not given the recognition they so deserve while foreign Universities have recognized it for entrance to their Univeristy courses.

If it is not being recognised because it is Chinese, it is independent and because top Government Schools will not be able to churn out the same class students then shame on this government, and shame on all of us if we decide to be petty and not recognise a fantastic education available at our doorsteps but rather send our children to "elite" schools in England, the US, Australia, and Europe when here in Malaysia at our very owndoorstep classic education is available in schools who do not care about your social standing but who thrive on only one thing academic achievement and believe me the teachers in these schools really drive their students to perform that way.

What is the point of standing on a rostrum and making long wordy speeches about Chinese education when you refuse to recognise it?

Why the dog in a manger attitude?

Malaysian Education provided by this segment of our society has  not been accorded the merits it so deserves, when on their own the Malaysian Chinese Community have made so many sacrifices to have brought Chinese Schools to world class levels an churn out brilliant students, one of whom invented the pen drive we all use on our computers today ,and he had to do it in Taiwan because in his own home he would never have been given the encouragement to do so, and even  if he did,  it may today belong to an UMNO Company that woudl be selling it to Malaysians and inflated prices.

The Jackie Chan concert drew a crowd of 10,000 people and managed to raise a total of RM13.5 Million ringgit of which Najib promised RM3 million from the government to an education system he refuses to recognise and all because of his desperation to win Chinese votes in a town where he is willing to sacrifice the lives of his people  to the Lynas rare earth plant.

A total of 10.5 million came from the Malaysian Chinese and only 3 million from the government to an institution that had on its won steam created an avenue for world class education in the country.

English and Bahasa Malaysia are compulsory subjects in the UEC examinations that are not recognised by the Malaysian Government but are recognised by most foreign universities many of them world class and why? Guess you'll have to ask UMNO

Sabah The Big Picture a Big Issue

 This blog carried an article titled, "Samy a better Leader than Najib"  and has now been informed by google that some  people have taken offence to the article and it has since been reverted to "edit" by google and is not available.
I am still trying to find the mail  google supposedly  sent to me highlight the offence, and I cant.
I am trying to fidn out more details and will publish that article again once that is done. In the meantime;

Please take the poll on the left of this page. 



It is a fact that  cannot be hidden the Malaysian Armed forces trained and equipped the forces of the MILF, now  does it come as a surprise that so many terrorists activities have had some connection to Malaysia and that others were alleged to have started in Malaysia, terror activities from Bali to to New York, had some of its planning rooted  here in Malaysia and why is it not surprising?

If you study the mentality of some of our UMNO leaders under the patronage of Mahahtir Mohammed you'll understand why. 

Crocodile

When they can use the name of God to intimidate others it is clearly understood, and the shallow and wapt reasoning of this old man who'll say just about anything to clear himself when caught explains his make up and that in turn explains the UMNO mindset.
(Read the Press Release below)

Gadaffi provided   arms to the MILF in Philippines via Malaysia, MILF fighters would bring their boats into Malaysian waters and carry out these weapons  as early as the early seventies  and could that be one of  the reason Mahahtir was awarded the Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2005.

A report from Manila now states that these men who were trained in Sabah and "who know Sabah like the back of their hands," are preparing to come and join the fight on the side of the Moro  national Liberation front.

The Manila  Bulletin reports;  that Hadji Acmad Bayam, former chief propagandist of the MNLF, revealed this yesterday to the Manila Bulletin, adding that these MNLF forces may have at their disposal a huge arsenal, which they hid deep in Sabah’s rugged terrain when they returned to the Philippines after their rigid training.

Among the firearms are Belgian-made G1 and FAL, which the late Libya leader Colonel Moammar Gadaffi supplied through Malaysia.

Bayam said he was confident the Malaysian authorities were not able to find the hidden MNLF firearms because they were kept very well by the MNLF commanders who stayed behind in Sabah.

This is the reason why Dr. Jefferey Kitingan has openly said yesterday that any decision on Sabah must involve Sabahans, not lackeys of the BN who have created this mess.

Jeffery has gone further to  imply that the agreements made prior to Sabah joining the Federation were reneged and never implemented, yes Sabah's riches were the fixed deposit of these scoundrels who actually raped the land via their cronies of timber, Oil and Palm Oil.

Sabah and Sarawak would have been better off had they not joined the federation and that is calling a spade a spade. Their infrastructure is in shambles, Sabah is more beautiful a destination than Bali it would have been a tourist attraction and in fact is just waiting to  be opened to the outside world.

Now does it make sense why  Mahathir said he can't have a Christian for a Chief Minsiter of Sabah.

Donald Stephens who later became Fuad Stephens and who died in a mysterious plane crash actually told everyone he had enough, he even said that his conversion was just to appease the rogues in Kuala Lumpur, he did not want to sidelined like Stephen Kalongningkan, and towards his last days he actually said he wanted to renounce Islam and return to the faith of his fathers that is all water under the bridge now, he died and may speculate that they killed him.

Lee Kuan Yew

Mahathir cannot talk about Malaysia, Mahahtir cannot talk about the conditions under which Sabah and Sarawak came into the federation, but one living soul can give us the fullest and most accurate testimony, and that is Lee Kuan Yew, and the Singapore archives is full of the whole story, it is history to Mahstory as dished out by that rogue that will give us the truth.

The truth is there we all know the truth,  the truth, the fears expressed by more than a half of the population now seems to be real it.

Lee with the Tengku campaigning for the formation of Malaysia

The people of Sabah did not want Islam as the official religion of the country only one third agree to that, they wanted Malaysia to be completely secular, in fact a good twenty percent did not want to join Sabah and wanted the British to continue, a good thirty percent wanted independence first before deciding but they all did not get their wishes. 

Ghazali Shaffie the Malaysian rep in the mission said Islam would only be the National religion and Malaysia otherwise Malaysia woudl remain completely secular, Mahathir declared it an Islamic country, the freedom of religion is not there when even a simple thing like Allah was made such a huge issue when the Christians used that word for god long before the Muslims.

There were many other fears, immigration was to be state issue and the people of West Malaysia had ot have a Passport to visit Sabah and Sarawak, the people in Borneo were afraid the people in west Malaysia would overwhelm them and take over their jobs, they were not too wrong.

Mahathir a Sick man

Mahathir Mohammed  interfered with every aspect of life in Sabah,a nd now Jeffery has  come out, it is the beginning of real concern of the Sabahans, many feel they would have been far better off if they hadn't joined Malaysia,a nd that does not seem too far fetched, one of  the richest states with the poorest and most marginalised of the Malaysian Population together with the Orang Asli of  West Malaysia.

 It is time for everybody to take stock, it is time to hear the legitimate grouses of the people of Sabah, the legitimate people, when they joined Malaysia they were only 500,000 strong, not thee wishes of Philippine peopel from Sulu and other Islands as well as Indonesians who were given citizenship illegally by Mahathir Mohammed.

Jefferey is moving in the right direction calling for a Borneo party and to kick out UMNO from the east it has no right there this is exactly what they were afraid about, it is time we respect the assurances  given to  them prior to the formation and allow them to determine their own destiny within the Federation. There were conditions they set out and it was only on acceptance of those conditions including Malaysia being a completely secular nation that they decided to join Malaysia.

The Malaysian Governemtn has a duty of cleaning up Sabah of the illegal immigrants, and the immigrants to whom they granted citizenship which they had absolutely no right to, and allow the Sabahans their true destiny, not to conduct elections with  created citizens to enable cronies and puppets appointed by UMNO and the BN to win.

  Jeffery Kitingan and other Sabahans must approach Lee Kuan Yew of first hand picture of what really transpired in the Malaysia agreement, they have to do it soon less the spin doctor starts his own tales as before, the question of immigration, and religion must be addressed, remember that more than half of Sabah in fact two third did not want to join the Federation for one reason or the other, it was only on assurances that they conceded, now those assurances have been trampled upon as though they meant nothing, the wealth of Sabah has been taken by cronies and the rest of the country one can presume whilst Sabah seems to be a remote outpost.

 Press Release

UN needed for complete solution to Sabah problems -- Dr. Jeffrey

KOTA KINABALU: Now that the situation in Sabah has attracted the attention of the United Nations (UN) whose Secretary-General has urged the Malaysian government to find an amicable solution, the Government should take the opportunity to invite the UN to facilitate a total and complete solution of the Sabah issue,” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

The STAR Sabah Chief said the internal security problems and international issues facing Sabah including the claim on Sabah by the Philippines or Sulu which had culminated into the Lahad Datu bloodbath require a long-term diplomatic and political solution, not a military one.

"The persistent longstanding Sabah claim by Manila and Sulu and the military altercation in Lahad Datu have clearly demonstrated that Sabah is not safe," he said. "This insecurity is against the  promise of security to us before the formation of Malaysia."

"In addition, the armed intrusion can be attributed directly to the Umno/BN government which had helped, supported, armed and trained the armed insurgency in Southern Philippines and the wanton issuance of ICs to foreigners for the purpose of increasing Umno's vote bank to ensure its victory in the general elections.

"After gaining a foothold in Sabah, Umno, in cahoots with the Elections Commission, started gerrymandering with electoral boundaries to fully benefit from its new-found members and voters. Is it a wonder that now Umno callsSabah its fixed deposit?

"Worst was to come for Sabah.   After baiting BN component leaders with the rotation of CM system, Umno started its devious and crafty takeover of Sabah.   Sabah is now internally colonized which is against all hopes and aspirations of a nation that gained independence on 31 August 1963 before forming Malaysia 16 days later."

"As a result, Sabahhas been losing and losing and will continue to lose unless there is a change of the Umno/BN government. On the other hand, the claim on Sabah by the Philippines and Sulu (which has about 15 sultans and Sabah claimants) is not going to go away by merely ignoring it. It's time Malaysia and Sabah  address the  claim and find a long-term solution. The aggressive involvement of the United Nations will help us solve many outstanding problems.

"Firstly, the UN can help allay the strong sense of insecurity which is not just due to the failure of the government and security forces but also due to the internal security problems caused by the presence of 800,000 immigrants. Secondly, the presence of an UN security force in Sabah will bolster not only the confidence of Sabahans who have low confidence in their own  security forces, but will also allay our fear of Filipinos and clarify the accusations of violence by Malaysian forces against Filipinos in Sabah.

"Thirdly, the alleged claims on Sabah has become an irritating international issue which can begin to be resolved with the presence of UN mediators. Fourthly, with bona fide Sabahans will have a role to play in determining the future of Sabah.  Sabahans cannot leave the future of Sabah in the hands of the Umno-dominated Malaysian government alone.

"Last but not least, the involvement of the United Nations will allow Sabahans to re-visit the Malaysia Agreement which was signed, including by the British government, under the auspices of the United Nations, the 20-Points and the Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) Report.  Perhaps, the IGC could be re-activated under the purview of the United Nations which could look into the  grievances and plight of the Sabahans in Malaysia.

"Whatever the final outcome, the future of Sabah and its status is the primary decision of Sabahans and no one else and certainly not the Umno/Malaya Barisan Government who have forfeited their rights not due to their failure to keep Sabah save but by their direct actions in causing the present insecurity. They do not deserve the trust of Sabahans anymore.

“Now that the UN Secretary-General has given his view, it will be interesting to see how the Malaysian government is going to respond. The ball is now at Najib’s feet”   Dr. Jeffrey added.

 
 

Sabah- It's a case of turning on the Master

Mahahtir claimed we were compassionate to the Army of the Sultan of Sulu because they are 'Muslims," we are now being told the Sultan of Sulu is close friend of  UMNO with some saying he is a member, and now even worse, the Moro Rebels are in this team that has invaded territory in Malaysia. Now I suppose that is Anwar's fault.

In history there are many cases f rebels turning agaisnt their own cause, and this is one, must be one especially after what Mahahtir said aboutthe Muslim connection in this entire episode. If you remember well the movemnt that stole a cacheof Arms from an army depot in perak, he di not want them killed that was the order given by him, even though they had killed two other Malaysians and was that because they were Muslims?

 We have seen that streak in him publicly, when our Malaysians reached the summit of Mount Everest, the disappointment showed on his face, it was live on National TV, when he asked who were those wh reached the summit and when told he was disappointed, and did not say more, it was a talking point throughout the country, only that we are a bit too polite and allow such racialists their way. Nazri was right he is bloody racialist and he discriminates even by religion, that is why he did not want Joseph Pairin as Chief Minister of Sabah.

A rebel is a rebel is a rebel, he will turn on on everything that comes his way, he never stops and that is something this government has to learn and I hope is learning before it becomes too late. We have to seriously reexamine our role in Southern Thailand, let the Thais solve their own problems their own way, why are we getting involved? If the Bangkok Times carried a we'll discover that most Thais think we are involved in one way or another supporting the rebels and for what so that they can turn against us tomorrow?


From the Horses Mouth

Today the Manila times reports that Nur Misuari, who founded the Moro National Liberation Front an who benefited out of Malaysia's assistance admitting that his fighters are involved in the Sabah incursion.

This reminds me of our involvement in Thailand, we seem to be looking like shit stirrers by our neighbours, Thais treat us with a lot of suspicion, our concerns for rebels do not sem sincere, it stems from the Mahahtirian attitude of "because they are Muslims," if PAS the PAS government decides to break away from Malaysia and take the Northern states with them will Mahahtir say the same thing? That was something the BN had accused the PAS of trying to do before anyway.

. The Manila Times report below, Mahathir what have you to say.

Muslim rebels involved in Malaysia: MNLF

MANILA: Members of a major Philippine Muslim rebel force who were meant to have disarmed in the 1990s as part of a peace pact are involved in deadly battles in Malaysia, the group's leader said on Tuesday.


Nur Misuari, who founded the Moro National Liberation Front in the late 1960s, confirmed "freedom fighters" from his group were part of the militia sent by a self-proclaimed sultan to claim the Malaysian state of Sabah.

"I cannot deny that some of them are known to be MNLF freedom fighters," Misuari told a news conference in Manila, although he insisted he was not personally involved.

"They went there without my knowledge. I have not ordered anyone to join them. It would be very irresponsible for anybody to implicate us."

Misuari made the comments while visiting Jamalul Kiram III, the self-anointed Sultan of Sulu, who sent between 100 and 300 men from the southern Philippines to Sabah on February 12 to press his ownership claim.

Malaysian security forces launched a major offensive on Tuesday to end the standoff, which has so far left at least 27 people dead, although the sultan's men reported that they had survived.

The MNLF "freedom fighters" earnt their battle experience during decades of armed struggle against the Philippine government that cost tens of thousands of lives.

The MNLF had fought for an independent state in the southern Philippines, while also claiming Sabah state as part of their ancestral homeland.

The group signed a peace pact with the Philippine government in 1996 which created a Muslim autonomous region in the south, and set aside the claim over Sabah.

The MNLF peace pact led to a less-compromising splinter group, the Moro Islamic Liberation front, continuing the battle for independence.

The MILF is now close to signing a final peace deal with the government, which ignores the Sabah claim completely and would lead to the MNLF losing political influence in the southern Philippines.

Observers have speculated MNLF members may have helped launch the Malaysia offensive because they feared they were losing power.

However Misuari insisted MNLF leaders were not involved directly in the Malaysia standoff, and even offered to go to Kuala Lumpur to mediate a peaceful solution.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, President Benigno Aquino's spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, said that the Philippine Navy had stopped 70 more people from getting across the sea border to help the militants.

How do you solve a problem like Sabah?

Malaya Business News Online - 

 Nur Misuari warns the Malaysian Government (see para marked in red below)

FORMER Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao governor and Moro National Liberation Front chairman Nur Misuari yesterday denied reports that he instigated the followers of the Sultanate of Sulu and financed their trip to Sabah to re-stake the sultanate’s claim on the territory.

Misuari visited Sultan Jamalul Kiram III in his residence in Maharlika Village, Taguig City to express his support for the sultanate.

Misuari, in a press briefing, said he had nothing to do with the decision of the sultan’s followers led by his brother, Rajah Mudda Agbimuddin Kiram, to go to Sabah where they are engaged in clashes with Malaysian security forces.

“These are all wild speculations. In the first place, I have not inspired anyone since I cannot pre-empt the role of the Sultan. To finance it is out of the question of course,” he added.

Misuari said even if he has the means, there is no reason for him to finance Agbimuddin Kiram and his followers because funding only about 200 men is “not my way of doing things.”

He said if he had been involved, he would have mobilized thousands, like the 4,000-strong MNLF force that he deployed against the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu and the 5,000 that he sent out at the height of the Sipadan kidnapping crisis in 2001.

“So for anyone to speculate that I have anything to do with this is a kind of madness. It is very irresponsible to implicate me in this. But to say that I am not concerned over their fate is wrong. I have warned the Malaysian government that every drop of their (the Sultan’s men) blood is sacred to us,” he said.
But he said there might be some MNLF members among the sultan’s followers who went to Sabah without his permission.

President Aquino on Monday said a conspiracy was behind the Sabah voyage of Kiram’s followers and vowed to punish those responsible. Earlier reports mentioned Misuari and allies of former President now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo.

Aquino said Kiram could not have financed it all because he could not even shoulder his own dialysis treatments without help from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. He said sending a boatful of people to Sabah costs about P100,000 and at least two boats were initially sent to Lahud Datu.

Abraham Idjirani, spokesman of Kiram, said his group did not conspire with anyone in the Philippines or with the Malaysian opposition.

“Hindi namin kilala si Anwar Ibrahim (former Malaysian deputy prime minister and opposition leader) at wala kaming pag-uusap sa kanya o sa anu pa mang grupo,” he said.

He said Ibrahim and the United Malay National Organization are both pushing for the strengthening of Malaysia, which includes Sabah.

He said such reports are meant to sully the image of the sultanate which is steadfast in pressing its claim and will continue fighting until the problem is resolved.

In Malacañang, presidential adviser Edwin Lacierda asked why former National Security Advise Norberto Gonzales felt alluded to when Aquino said that possible conspirators from the previous administration were being investigated by the Department of Justice in connection with the Sabah standoff.

“Guilty siya? The President never mentioned anybody. He said that ‘I will not name names until I have sufficient evidence.’ Meron ba siyang sinabi? Wala pong sinabi si Pangulong Aquino (na) pangalan, so hindi ko alam kung bakit ang pakiramdam ni Ginoong Gonzales ay siya ang tinutukoy ni Pangulong Aquino. Wala hong pangalang nilabas si Pangulong Aquino,” he said.

Lacierda said investigations are still ongoing and the government would file charges, including against the alleged conspirators, backed with credible evidence “at the proper time.”

‘SIDING WITH THE ENEMY’

Misuari slammed Aquino for “siding with the enemy of his people,” even as he warned that arresting or killing Agbimuddin Kiram would result in “total chaos.”

He said he called Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and told him that killing the Agbimuddin Kiram would be “tantamount to a declaration of war against our people and the MNLF.”

“It is our sacred duty to protect our people. We have one-and-a-half million people living in different parts of Sabah,” he said.

Misuari said if Aquino has nothing good to say, then “he should not open his mouth anymore.”

“What they have done is very bad. It is very unbecoming of a head of state. Why is he siding with the enemy of his own people? I don’t know who is advising him and for what reason. Why he is allying himself with Malaysia, a colonial power instead of our own people? I am totally against that. I hope the President is properly advised and would recant so we could forgive him,” he said.

Former Tawi-Tawi governor Al Tillah said Aquino’s stand smacked of a “sell-out” not only of the Sultanate of Sulu but also of the entire Filipino people. Tillah also visited Kiram.

He said Aquino should have brought the issue before the international community for arbitration.
Tillah is current chairman of the Islamic Society of the Philippines which was founded by the late Sultan Jamalul Kiram II to advance the welfare of the Muslim community in Mindanao. – With Jocelyn Montemayor

The Sabah Claim reinstated

Amidst all the activity or shall we rightfully say inactivity in Lahad Datu one thing is becoming apparently clear and it has all to do with this illegal landing of Soldiers of the Royal Sulu Army into Malaysian held territory and the reluctance of the Barisan Government to act decisively and effectively.

The Philippines Star in an online  Survey today  (Sunday 3rd March 2013) is asking these questions;
Are you in favor of PNoy's call to Sultan Kiram to order his people to leave Sabah?  ; and
"Should the Philippines revive its Sabah claim?"  with a resounding 85 percent of the respondents saaying "YES". and that spells the mood in the Philippines today.

To the first question 53 percent of the respondents have said "NO" to  44percent saying yes and the remaining responded "not sure."

Going south where the Malaysian Government would expect some Sympathy from the Moro rebels it is rather clear that all the efforts of the government has been washed away with this tide of Nationalism in the Philippines, it looks like even the Moro rebel chief now does not suspect his benefactors in the Malaysian government.

The President of Philippines has called the invaders to surrender,  "without conditions," that amounts to say, "Okay we shall leave but that does not mean we have no rights here and we are not going to come back."

The question is will the Malaysian government accept such a surrender and if they do what are the implications to future landings.

Princess Jaycel Kiram, speaking for the Sultanate of Sulu yesterday said their followers did not intend to leave Sabah despite Friday's bloody crackdown.

“The decision remains the same, because honor is above life. This is a clear message of the sultanate. What’s the use of life if we lose our honor,” she said. - See more at: http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2013/03/03/915181/surrender-without-conditions#sthash.dyDHr750.dpuf

" The decision remains the same, because honour is  above life. This is a clear message of the Sultanate. What is the use of life if we lose our honour?"  she asked.

Whilst the President of the Philippines has been asking the invaders to surrender and pursue different means, it is clear that in the Philippines sentiment in Philippines is growing by the day and the sympathy is now with Raja Muda who is leading this invasion.

Philippine sentiment seems to be agaisnt the government it feels the government is snot doing enough and wants seem to want the government to take a tougher stance with the Malaysian government.

The Manila times in  its Sunday edition carried a headline article titled, "Bring Sabah issue to the International Court of Justice Now," a clear reflection of the wishes of the people of the Philippines now, and our reaction is one in which Malaysians are ill informed and the Malaysian Government is chasing its own tail.

Whilst all this is going on Najib is talking big and doing nothing in Malaysia, the army he built seems incapable of handling the situation so much so he had to use the police force.

As my friend Mr. C. Joseph Katam put it , ' the last time this army went to war was to cull pigs in the Sepang area, and since then they have not seen a war," Mr. Joseph went on to say that on Friday the army was busy preparing ro the Armed forces day in Port Dickson and what he saw was really pathetic, Army trucks broken down on the way to Port Dickson due to poor maintenance, "what will be the fate of our tanks,   submarines, frigates and air force planes, if this is the condition of the lorries?" he asked.

Looks like our soldiers have been having a good time, and are not prepared for this task, why is it Police personnel are being should rightfully be an issue for the army.

Looks like our Prime Minister is more concerned with what necklace Rosmah is going to use for the next public function, and in the midst of all that the Philippines is reinstating its claim to Sabah.
