Bangsa Sulu Royal Army

The threat of Bangsa Sulu Royal Army (BSRA) is not a myth as few of my plantation workers has been approached by BSRA to join them. I believe Malaysia intelligent agencies are also monitoring this matter as this affect national security and this is also the best time for the Defence Minister to launch Mega-Money into his pockets. Mr.Najib is a smart a88, *in crisis recognize the risk as well as the opportunity!*

Sabah is facing threat from Abu Sayyaf, Moro National Liberation Front, Moro Islamic Liberation Front, Nur Misuari breakaway group and kidnapping for ransom group, the BSRA had been also identified as an external threat. There are members in Sabah while the bulk of them are based in the Sulu area.

Other threats as being internal ones like illegal immigrants, smuggling, and robbery at sea, piracy and sea intrusion, the sovereignty of Sabah would always be threatened as long as illegal immigrants and Filipino rebel groups try to infiltrate the State.

With a 1,577km of coastline, it was near to impossible to stop illegal immigrants coming into Sabah especially from Sulu. The government will not allow illegal immigrants who have been rounded up and deported to re-enter the country but its easier said than done.

Many illegal immigrants had returned home for a “short holiday” when they learned about the operation to flush them out.

On the statement by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Bernard Dompok that efforts to address the illegal immigrant issue was a major challenge as some of the illegals possessed Mykads, Najib said the operation was targeted at those without any valid documents.

Those without valid doc aren’t the major concern but those with MyKad shall be targeted because they have to voting power that ultimately leads to choosing Sabah leader. I don’t want to see in the future, Sabah Chief minister is from Philippine!

Najib is a busy man at the moment, while making sure Sabah MPs stick with BN by using Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) to investigate them for alleged abuse of power, forgery and bribery. Najib also need to please Sabahan by flushing out illegal immigrants without document only because all illegal immigrants with MyKad will vote for BN!

Suara Tausug

A new tabloid calling itself The New Sulu Times (Suara Tausug) is being published in compliance with its purported permit. The 12-page newspaper being sold at RM1.80 per copy was Written in the Tausug language and Bahasa Malaysia, the newspaper printed the Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) permit number-1-20-Julai-KDN: PQ/PP1506(307).

Why is a Sulu paper permitted to be published and sold openly in Sabah?

The content of the paper is about the Sulu Sultan, IMM13, and the street children issue, etc. Is it true that it has obtained the permit from the KDN?

More important is whether it is following the guidelines stated in the permit?

If the format of the newspaper is as it is being printed now, the general reaction of the public is that it should not be allowed to be published at all.

The Home Affairs Minister need to explain the reason the publication permit was issued as well as the conditions for the permit.

The sale of the said publication had raised deep concern among the general public, especially with the revival of the ‘Sabah Claim’ issue by certain quarters, as recent as last month.

The general reaction of the public toward the sale of Suara Tausug was that it could pose a threat to our sovereignty and security and so it should not be allowed to be published in Sabah, let alone selling it in the public.
