Crisis Summary Lahad Datu

FINALLY after eight policemen killed several senior military then allowed to end the invasion of hordes who claimed them as soldiers of the Sultanate of Sulu.

Many expect with this final action which clearly threatened invasion of the sovereignty of the country can be eliminated. Awaited action soothes the feelings of the public, particularly in the area near the east coast like Lahad Datu, Semporna, Tawau and Sandakan are facing only a few kilometers from the islands of Tawi-tawi and Sulu.

The mob began menceboroh country in Village Tanduo in Felda Sahabat, Lahad Datu since 11 February, threaten not only the security of the local people, but more serious sloppy this sovereignty.

Initially they were not many, but increased to more than 200 people who all come from a number of islands off the coast of the Philippines.

Nor is it known whether the addition of only Simunul member and Jolo or of the Philippines who are already in the east coast.

This is disconcerting because many local people do not know who they were actually as many Filipinos from the same area as Tawi-Tawi and Sulu had already settled in Sabah, some even already have the Malaysian Identification Card.

If not handled properly it may be more complicated and prolonged battle that reminds us of the years between the separatist Moro with Philippine troops.

However, the fact that some of the district comes from the Philippines such as the mysticism and Cocos are protesting the invasion and support the actions of the security forces to restore order so relieve and welcome.

But the question arises how it can happen, how authorities initially did not look at it as serius.Alih invasion over the amount they had over 200 people despite the blockade has made around the village Tanduo. They can also shoot with rockets. Where do they get the gun?

Chief of Defence Forces, General Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin said, they are all are pertempur veteran (combat veteran) as well as having a good guerrilla tactics, rather than those who have never taken up arms.

Initially the police said they were logged in as a fisherman. The question is whether the fishermen if immigration or customs do not have to check them? Can also bring rocket and launcher?

It seems roundtrip without any restrictions are common in the waters there for this and of course the route and entered porous so anyone even does not have a valid travel?

Only when there is a battle and killed policeman then saw there was little enthusiasm to surround and annihilate the hordes alarming.

To say that we want to negotiate so that there is bloodshed. It is our good intentions but we do not have the correct information about the Horde.

From the outset they are to get instructions from the person identifying himself as the true heirs of the Sultanate does not want to compromise than senseless insistence want to take the allegedly belonged to the monarchy.

All this may be one even as we recognize these people as heirs of the sultanate - began to give consolation to him since the time of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's first time to be set up in September 1963.

Actually it was time we cancel the gift of time that seems to recognize that he is the true heir of the Sultanate of Sulu, although there are still some more heirs of the sultanate, which claimed they were actually beneficiaries.

We should follow what the Philippine government is not directly recognize the monarchy again.
