Malaysia launches military attack against Sabah militants
-
LAHAD DATU, Malaysia - Malaysian security forces launched an assault on Tuesday to clear out armed Filipino intruders engaged in a three-week incursion that has left 27 people dead.
Prime Minister Najib Razak said in a statement run by national news agency Bernama that negotiations with the Filipino militants, believed to number 100-300 and holed up in a farming village, had failed.
"At 7:00 am this morning, security forces launched an attack on Tanduo village," Najib said.
A total of 27 people have been reported killed since the militants landed on February 12 in the state of Sabah on Borneo island by boat and claimed the state on behalf of the heir to a now-defunct Philippine Islamic sultanate.
It has been Malaysia's worst security crisis in years, underlining instability and lawlessness in the seas between the two countries and exposing lax Malaysian security along its coast.
"The longer this invasion lasts, it is clear to the authorities that the invaders do not intend to leave Sabah," Najib said.
"The government must take action to safeguard the dignity and sovereignty of the country as required by the people."
Violence first erupted on Friday when a shootout between security forces and the militants left 12 Filippinos and two police officers dead.

then the my gahmen should have in day one send their military over standby., once confirm hear what their philipino gahmen respond say confirm they should strke alrady swift and fast.
once military take over order given the commander in cgarge will giv them a chance to unconditional surrender. if they dont complie or still dilly dally tok conditions, what i will do as a commander is to move my troops in immediately and take no prisoners.

Now you got 10,000 islanders sailing towards Sabah.
Sabah has like 800K pinoys there legally and illegally. Not to mention thousands granted pink IC to vote, thanks to Mahatir's Project IC. These people are potential sympathisers and have neither loyalty to Philipines nor Malaysia. Culturally and Socially not assimilated to Sabah.
Now those Sulu's wanna make ancestral claim on Sarawak as well. Self-determination vs customary ancestral rights.
Gonna see bombings soon. Sulu's also do what they do best back in thier days. Raiding and being pirates.

Apparently, the MNLF's were trained and sponsored by the Malaysian Gov back in the day as proxy's to the Christians and Ph gov in South Phillipines. The very same ones that are coming back to bite Malaysia in the ass.

Like the Taliban, Osama bin laden, both indirectly supported by CIA in 80s and Hamas, used to be supported by Israel.

is like that one lah, like those osma troops you think if they rally can fight they will hide. come one one aon one only they can easily succumb to the oponents massive firepower already.i say take this change to have the military go into those villagers and round them up send them back home.
when people mess in one foreign pace, they will claim everything is theirs its their home.
just like our singapore so many foreigners if we still dont control their numebrs and palces in or sociiety they will soon take over. it has already happy in our economy and affected our jobs. employers cannot get used to paying people a few dollars more in their jobs already and many are grumbling now say what labor asspensive lah (but they dare not do it in frfont of PAP so use alternate excuse say labo shortage). but in fact there has been virtually no tightening of the foreign policies at all!
