The Sulu intrusion in Sabah has been complex and not so easy to
follow, so let's review the key points before detonating the latest
bombshell dropped by a leader from the Malaysian Opposition, Rafizi
Ramli.
The Royal Sultanate of Sulu invaded Sabah, Malaysia on the 9thFeb
2013. 200 of its finest warriors led by the Crown Prince Azzimudie Karim
himself and an experienced General of the Royal Sulu Army managed to
sneak into Sabah without valid papers and without being detected. They
then set up camp in a village called Kampong Tanduo while the Malaysian
authorities apparently snored.
These elite warriors were reported to be highly trained in jungle warfare. Equipped with a special 'magical' amulet, some of them claimed to be invincible and can single-handedly take out whole battalions of soldiers.
Eye witnesses have sworn that these warriors can disappear before their very eyes and reappear behind enemy front lines, while those captured after being shot, showed no sign of injuries or open wounds. This is how dreaded and fearsome the Royal Army of Sulu has become in the minds of many of the Sabahans, especially those who live near to Kampong Tanduo..
Reclaiming their birthright
The Sulu gunmen said they came to reclaim their 'rightful' land and to settle in Sabah permanently. They took pains to assure Sabahans that they come in peace. All they wanted is to share this wonderful land with Sabahans, including all its riches and spoils which amounts to a cool RM226 billion. With this vast amount of money there would be no more poor Muslim Filipinos, according to the pretty Princess Jacel Karim of the Sulu Sultanate.
They also intended to turn Sabah into part of the Sultanate of Sulu. Sabahans have the option to be their loyal subjects of the Sulu Sultan or leave the State voluntarily.
The Malaysian government said they initially took a soft approach to the invasion chiefly because the invaders were Muslims and had agreed to negotiate a peaceful solution. However, this rather soft approach wasn't quite credible to Malaysians, who were surprised at how patient and willing to delay their authorities were.
After three weeks of unfruitful negotiations, the Malaysian Government finally gave an ultimatum - leave in peace and we'll provide you with a safety corridor and as for your weapons, we'll bury them.
