^^ saya rasa keputusan filipina benar kok. masalah sabah mending diselesaikan secara diplomasi negara. kesultanan sulu jangan bergerak semaunya diluar regulasi
kalau filipina ngebantu kesultanan sulu ngebawa kasusnya ke ICJ sih, sah sah saja. tapi kalau membantu sultan sulu menginvasi sabah, apa gunanya?

The Kiram family continues to defy Philippine and Malaysian officials, saying their followers will stay put in Sabah.

As Jay Ruiz also tells us, the Kirams got the support of actor Robin Padilla. . – ANC World Tonight, March 2, 2013

Patrimony simply means an inheritance from a father or an ancestor passed on through generations. When we speak of national patrimony the broader and deeper nuances in the notion of “heritage” come to the fore.

We learned from Almarim Centi Tillah, former governor of Tawai-Tawi, who is the policy adviser of Sultan Esmail Kiram (the same person who has been in the news these past two weeks as Sultan Jamalul Kiram 3rd of Sulu and North Borneo [Sabah], that the Sultan has been publicly speaking of Sabah as “the patrimony of the Filipino Nation.”

The last time Sultan Esmail (or Ismail) Kiram used this expression was late last year at a symposium on the “Philippine Sabah Claim” at the University of Makati. The event was sponsored by the Pimentel Center for Local Government.

Al Tillah told The Manila Times, “Sultan Punjungan Kiram, Sultan Esmail’s late father, told his children over and over again: ‘My children, if you will
be the ones to decide on the issue of Sabah, remember, do not sell it, because if you do, you will be cursed forever, and your descendants after you will be hounded by our own people till the end of time.”

Al Tillah points to the following events and urges Times’ readers to read up on them.

Indeed history shows without a doubt that Sabah belongs to the Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah (and therefore to the Filipinos because the Sultan signed over Sabah to the Philippine government). But, Al Tillah told The Times, “the machinations of powerful people and nations” beclouded the facts and now Sabah is controlled by Malaysia.”

British and American anti-communists
The British and American officials aided by United Nations bureaucrats were eager to make a strong anti-Communist Southeast Asia. Over the objections of the Filipinos and the Indonesians, the British, the Americans and UN officials worked to get Sabah and Sarawak in huge Borneo Island to become part of the soon-to-be formed Malaysian Federation.

Even before the UK and US manipulation to create Malaysia with Sabah in it, however, the Sultan of Sulu had been taking steps to assert his Sultanate’s sovereignty over Sabah.

Nov. 25, 1957
On this date the Sultan of Sulu, Esmail Kiram 3rd’s father, issued the proclamation repudiating the July 10, 1946 British Order in Council, reiterating so-called British sovereignty rights over Sabah

Sept. 12, 1962
Surrender of Sultanate sovereignty to the Philippine Government, then under President Diosdado Macapagal, with a proviso reverting the same to the Sultanate if the Philippine Government fails to get Sabah from the foreign occupiers.

Sept. 18, 1968
President Ferdinand Marcos signed R.A. 5446 defining the Philippine territorial baselines, without prejudice to Sultanate sovereignty. (This was based on the affidavit of then Rajah Muda Punjungan Kiram certifying the authenticity of the Macaskie 1929 decision on proprietary rights. Punjungan’s affidavit strengthened Ismail Kiram’s 1957 proclamation and cancelled the 1878 Lease Agreement effective January 22, 1958.)
The 1973 Constitution under President Marcos incorporated Sabah from Section 2 of R.A. 5446 on the Philippine territories by historic and legal rights.

1984
Upon the death of Punjungan, son Ismail or Esmail Kiram III succeeded as Sultan Jamalul Kiram III from 1984 to the present.

April 9, 1986
The Sultan sent a letter to then Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mahathir reiterating the Sultanate’s sovereignty over Sabah.

Almarim Centi Tillah, reiterates the same appeal Sultan Jamalul Kiram 3rd’s made to all “brother Filipinos of all creeds, to help us in this historic fight, because sovereignty is indivisible, it cannot be partitioned, it is a God-given right for all of us Filipinos. Thank you. Insha’Allah.”

Aquino has sidelined the Sabah claim
Unfortunately, the Aquino administration has decided not to bother about the Sabah claim. The President himself has said that he has first to learn what it is all about before he can do anything about it.

Late on Friday, Malacañang Palace expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the 12 Muslim Filipinos belonging to the Sultanate’s Army and the two Malaysian “commando” killed in the shootout (reports of which Malacañang until Friday afternoon was denying).

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak himself confirmed the reports at about 5 p.m.

The Aquino admnistration has again mishandled an important matter, the Sabah claim and the people of the Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah and their aspirations. It also incompetently handled the Sultanate Army’s incursion into Sabah (which should not be called an incursion because the Tausugs consider both Sulu and Sabah their home grounds).

And the Aquino administration failed to assure the other Filipino Muslims that the future Government-Moro Islamic Liberation Front peace deal will not mean their subjugation under an MILF yoke. For a key provision of the Framework Agreement is the abolition of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and putting all the provinces (including those of the Sultanate of Sulu) under the control of MILF leaders.

Not only has the Aquino administration given no value to the fact that, as Sultan Esmail says, “Sabah is the patrimony of the Filipino Nation.” It has also not given much value to the interests and the aspirations of Moros—Filipinos of Mindanao whether Muslim, Lumad, Christian or atheists—who are not under the sway of the MILF.

MANILA, Philippines – An imam (Islamic religious leader) and his four children were killed when Malaysian forces attacked a village in Semporna, Sabah, the Kiram family said in a press conference Sunday in their home in Taguig City. hno:

According to a report received by Princess Jaycel Kiram, daughter of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, and spokesperson Abraham Idjirani, Malaysian police forcibly entered a civilian’s house in Semporna, leading to the death of an imam and his four children.

Another imam was reportedly wounded in the attack.

“The perpetrator of the conflict is the Malaysian authority,” Idjirani said. “It is not the sultanate of Sulu that’s leveling up the conflict, it is the Malaysian government.”

“Had the Malaysian police applied tolerance, sobriety... They should not have resorted to that kind of action,” he added.

Reports from Malaysian news websites made no mention of the deaths of the imam and his children, however.

According to reports from The Star Online and New Straits Times, five Malaysian policemen were killed when they were ambushed during a police raid on a village on stilts in Semporna.

Tan Sri Ismail Omar, Inspector-General of Police, said the five Malaysian policemen were conducting a “ground assessment” when they were ambushed.

Ismail said two Sulu armed men were killed in the exchange, but the report did not identify them.

Ismail added that Malaysian police have encircled the village, where they are hunting for 10 men, three of which were armed and seen wearing camouflage.

Princess Jaycel, meanwhile, said she had “no words” to describe the latest development in Sabah.

“I cannot find the right term to express what I feel now. For the Malaysian police to do this to a Muslim priest, dinamay pa ang mga anak... I have no words to express what I feel,” she said.

Princess Jaycel also revealed that Malaysian forces have been arresting Filipinos indiscriminately, even those who were not linked to the Royal Army of the Sulu Sultanate. – with a report from DZMM

a report from Malaysian state news agency Bernama said Malaysian policemen were ambushed, leaving five policemen killed.

The shootout late on Saturday in the town of Semporna followed a firefight the previous day between Filipino followers of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III and Malaysian security forces that left 12 Filipinos dead along with two Malaysian police officers.

An estimated 100-300 Filipinos have been surrounded by Malaysian police and military in the state of Sabah since landing by boat from the Philippines, insisting the area belongs to the Sultanate of Sulu.

Semporna is about 150 kilometers from Lahad Datu, where followers of the sultan of Sulu have been held in a tense and violent standoff with Malaysian forces since last week.

An initial report from Malaysian state media Bernama quoted Sabah police commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib as saying that authorities were investigating whether the group that ambushed the policemen were connected with the Royal Sulu Army holed up in Lahad Datu.

Bernama said the policemen were shot at by an unidentified group of about 10 members in Kampung Seri Jaya Siminul 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Hamza was quoted as saying that the Royal Sulu Army were "cordoned off" by security forces and said police were in control of the situation.

Another Malaysian news outfit, this time Malaysiakini.com, quoted police inspector-general Ismail Omar as confirming that "five police officers were killed in a skirmish with an armed group in Semporna, Sabah."

The attack was attributed simply to "an armed group in Kampung Sri Jaya Simunul, Sempoerna."

Malaysiakini.com said Malaysian officials are still investigating whether the ambush on the policemen is linked to the Lahad Datu situation.

Meanwhile in Manila, the camp of Sulu sultan Jamalul Kiram III said they have yet to talk to Raja Muda Agbimuddin Kiram since Saturday night.

The sultan said negotiations were not too late even as Malacanang said yesterday that Filipinos in Sabah should immediately surrender before it was too late.

The sultan also appealed for followers to calm down.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 — Malaysia's security forces are clashing with armed foreign intruders in three districts in Sabah's east coast that have snuffed out the lives of five policemen, the inspector-general of police said today.

Tan Sri Ismail Omar said the police are working with the military to hunt down 10 suspects, three who are armed, after they escaped from a police siege in Kampung Tanduo, near Lahad Datu where a Filipino Muslim clan claiming ownership of Sabah had dug in since entering the state on February 9.

"To date, the police have succeeded in capturing three intruders who tried to escape from police siege in Kampung Tanduo," he told a news conference in Lahad Datu.

The IGP said the police and the armed forces have the situation under control and are working together to end the conflict.

A statement of the IGP's briefing was made avalailable to The Malaysian Insider.

The manhunt, codenamed Ops Sulu, is being carried out in Lahad Datu, Kunak and Semporna.

Ismail said the security forces had been tipped off that a group of intruders had landed in the coastal area between Kampung Lormalang and Kampung Dasar Lama in Kunak, after the Lahad Datu incident.

He said police commandos have been sent in to conduct a ground assessment and to act against the Kunak group, which he said were hiding in a house there.

He said the third clash happened yesterday at 6.30pm in Kampung Sri Jaya Simunul in Semporna, and which was the deadliest, as the gunmen ambushed and shot dead five policemen who were conducting a sweep of the village.

Two of the intruders werre gunned down in the shootout, Ismail said.

"Following this incident, the police have surrounded the area where the intruders are hiding," he said.

He also said the police would not be making public the details of the policemen who were killed out of respect for the victims' families.

He advised the residents living nearby not to panic and not to listen to rumours, urging them to contact the nearets police station or check the Sabah police website for further information.

LAHAD DATU, KOMPAS.com — Perdana Menteri Malaysia Najib Razak, Sabtu (2/3/2013), menegaskan, pintu negosiasi dengan kelompok penyusup di Sabah telah tertutup setelah pecah bentrokan yang menewaskan 14 orang, sehari sebelumnya. Najib menyatakan, kelompok itu harus menyerah.

"Para pemberontak dari Sulu itu harus menyerah, atau mereka akan menghadapi tindakan dari aparat keamanan kami," kata Najib, di Subang Jaya, Malaysia, Sabtu, seperti dikutip surat kabar The Star.

Dari Manila, Presiden Filipina Benigno Aquino III menyerukan kepada warga Filipina yang menyusup ke Malaysia itu agar segera menyerah tanpa syarat sekarang juga.

Najib mengatakan, ia telah berbicara dengan Presiden Aquino tentang insiden berdarah itu, Jumat malam. Ia juga menegaskan, saat ini aparat keamanan Malaysia akan melakukan tindakan total terhadap para penyusup yang telah menewaskan dua polisi Malaysia tersebut.

"Saya telah memberi mandat penuh kepada Inspektur Jenderal Kepolisian Tan Sri Ismail Omar dan Panglima Angkatan Bersenjata Tan Sri Zulkefli Mohd Zin untuk mengambil semua tindakan yang dianggap perlu," kata Najib.

PM Malaysia itu juga mengatakan, kapal-kapal Angkatan Laut Malaysia telah dikerahkan ke perairan di sekitar Lahad Datu, Sabah, untuk mencegah para penyusup melarikan diri.

Selama ini, otoritas Malaysia berusaha menghindari pernyataan keras terkait penyusupan ini, dengan harapan para penyusup itu akan pergi dengan damai. Namun, kini, seperti dikatakan Kepala Kepolisian Sabah Hamza Taib, meski para penyusup itu memutuskan menyerah, mereka akan menghadapi tuntutan hukum.

Mengklaim wilayah

Seperti diberitakan sebelumnya, sekitar 100-300 warga Filipina selatan yang mengaku sebagai penerus Kesultanan Sulu tiba di kawasan Lahad Datu, Sabah, 9 Februari lalu. Mereka mengklaim wilayah itu sebagai bagian dari Kesultanan Sulu, dengan membawa sejumlah dokumen dari tahun 1800-an.

Para penyusup, yang sebagian bersenjata itu, kemudian dikepung aparat keamanan Malaysia. Pemerintah Malaysia dan Filipina sudah mengimbau mereka untuk segera kembali ke tempat asal mereka, tetapi imbauan itu diabaikan.

Akhirnya, Jumat lalu, terjadi baku tembak antara aparat keamanan Malaysia dan para penyusup. Dua polisi Malaysia dan 12 penyusup tewas.

Pemicu bentrokan belum diketahui pasti. Najib mengklaim dua polisi Malaysia tewas setelah dijebak. "Saya diberi tahu bahwa sebagian penyusup itu telah mengibarkan bendera putih (tanda menyerah), tetapi saat pasukan Malaysia mendekat, mereka malah menembak," ujar Najib.

Presiden Aquino menyatakan, cara yang ditempuh warga Sulu itu salah. "Jika kalian ingin menyampaikan protes, jalan yang kalian tempuh ini salah. Jalan yang adil dan satu-satunya jalan yang benar saat ini adalah segera menyerah," kata Aquino kepada kelompok penyusup itu.

Ratusan warga Filipina itu mengaku datang ke Sabah atas perintah Sultan Jamalul Kiram III. Kiram (74) mengaku sebagai penerus takhta Kesultanan Sulu yang dulu pernah menguasai kawasan selatan Filipina dan sebagian Pulau Kalimantan.

Kekuasaan kesultanan itu pudar sejak seabad silam, dan kini wilayah Sulu menjadi bagian dari negara Filipina dan Malaysia. Meski demikian, Pemerintah Malaysia masih terus membayar sejumlah uang kepada penerus kesultanan itu sebagai kelanjutan perjanjian sewa wilayah sejak era kolonial Inggris.

Tak akan mundur

Juru bicara Kiram, Abraham Idjirani, menegaskan, warga Sulu itu akan tetap bertahan di Sabah. Idjirani mengatakan, kematian para pengikut Sultan itu justru memperkuat tekad mereka untuk terus mempertahankan hak-hak orang Filipina atas Sabah.

Anak perempuan Kiram, Jacel Kiram, menambahkan, ini adalah persoalan kehormatan. "Mereka tak akan kembali ke sini karena kehormatan lebih berharga daripada nyawa. Apalah artinya hidup tanpa kehormatan?" ujarnya kepada stasiun radio DZBB di Manila. (AFP/AP/Reuters/DHF)

Sultan’s followers kill, capture Malaysian cops

MANILA, Philippines - Filipinos enraged by a Malaysian raid on a religious leader’s house in Sabah retaliated Saturday night, attacking an army convoy and overrunning a district police headquarters, the sultanate of Sulu announced yesterday.

Five Malaysian security officers were killed and four ranking Sabah officials were held captive by the Filipinos in Semporna, where the violence has spread from the coastal town of Lahad Datu, according to the Sulu sultanate. Kuala Lumpur confirmed only two police deaths.

Sultanate spokesman Abraham Idjirani described the escalation of violence as an “unorganized, spontaneous uprising” by Filipinos residing in Sabah.

Idjirani said that as of noon yesterday, armed followers of the sultanate were in control of Semporna.

The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) said reinforcements from Mindanao also breached the Malaysian security cordon in Sandakan, another part of Sabah, and ambushed two truckloads of men belonging to the Malaysian Territorial Army Regiment.

“The reinforcements were able to wipe them out,” said Habib Mujahab Hashim, chairman of the MNLF’S Islamic Command Council.

Hashim, who said he was authorized by the Sulu sultanate to speak on the situation in Sabah, said the reinforcements used improvised dynamite or timbak isda for the ambush. The dynamite is normally used for blast fishing.

Both the MNLF and the Sulu sultanate said tension was building up even in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah’s capital.

Idjirani said the “uprising” was triggered by the raid at 7:30 p.m. Saturday by Malaysian paramilitary forces on the home of Imam Maas, who was suspected to be harboring Alepiuya Kiram, a brother of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III.

When the militia, belonging to the Malaysian Police General Operations Force, failed to find Alepiuya, they allegedly fired on the house, killing the imam and his four sons and wounding another village elder called Imam Jul in another house.

Idjirani said enraged residents then took to the streets, attacking the police and military headquarters in Semporna. The villagers captured a ranking police official, two military commanders and a civilian official of Sabah, Idjirani told a press conference at the sultan’s home in Taguig City yesterday.

Kiram reportedly told his brother, who is leading the uprising in Sabah, to “take care of the captives,” who will be presented before an international body “to answer for the killing of innocent people.”

Up to 12 followers of the sultanate who holed up in Lahad Datu were killed by Malaysian security forces last week. The sultan’s army also killed two Malaysian policemen.

During yesterday’s press conference, the sultanate showed photos of the Malaysian officers slain in Semporna. ^^ N.B: @Patchay post

The sultanate said more reinforcements from Tawi-Tawi, Basilan and Sulu were arriving in Semporna, a district near Lahad Datu where from 100 to 300 followers of Kiram arrived on Feb. 9 to reiterate the sultanate’s claim over Sabah.

On Saturday, Malaysian forces started rounding up Filipinos in Sabah, heightening the tension. Authorities reportedly shut down the cell sites in Lahad Datu, cutting off the sultanate’s contact with Kiram’s brother Agbimuddin, described as the crown prince or raja muda.

“The fighting for now, I will consider it an uprising,” Hashim said, attributing it to the “harsh treatment” of Filipinos by Malaysian authorities.

An estimated 800,000 Filipinos live in Sabah, which the sultanate of Brunei gave as a gift to the Sulu sultanate in the 17th century. In the 19th century, the Sulu sultan leased the land to the British North Borneo Company, although the British said the land was ceded.

Malaysia continues to pay the Sulu sultanate 5,300 ringgits – about P70,000 – annually in what Kuala Lumpur describes as “cession fee” but is considered rental by the sultanate. hno:

MNLF members are with the sultan’s group in Lahad Datu, but Hashim said his group was not participating in the attacks.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Konsulat Jendral Republik Indonesia di Sabah mengungsikan 600 tenaga kerja Indonesia (TKI) yang bekerja di ladang kelapa sawit di Felda Sahabat Blok 17, di negara bagian Sabah, Malaysia. Tindakan ini dilakukan setelah kondisi keamanan di sana masih tak menentu setelah terjadinya kontak senjata antara polisi Malaysia dan kelompok bersenjata kerajaan Sulu dari Filipina selatan.

"KJRI bekerjasama dengan Felda dan Kepolisian Daerah Sabah mulai mengungsikan pekerja kita sejak tanggal 12 Februari lalu. Sehingga saat terjadi kontak senjata kemarin, tak ada satupun warga negara kita yang menjadi korban," kata Konsulat Jendral Republik Indonesia (KJRI) Sabah Soepeno Sahid kepada Tempo, Sabtu, 2 Maret 2013. Felda adalah perusahaan perkebunan di Malaysia.

Para pekerja di ladang sawit tersebut diungsikan sementara hingga menunggu kondisi aman. Soepeno mengatakan, berdasarkan hasil koordinasi dengan Felda, gaji mereka akan dibayar penuh. Sebanyak 600 pekerja di ladang sawit itu berasal berasal dari Sulawesi Selatan, Nusa Tenggara Barat, dan Nusa Tenggara Timur.

Soepeno mengatakan, jumlah perkebunan di daerah itu ada 52 blok dan pekerja asal Indonesia di sana sebanyak 8.000 orang. Namun yang bekerja di blok 17 sebanyak 600 orang. hno:

Memanasnya situasi di daerah itu bermula dari adanya orang bersenjata yang mengaku sebagai tentara kerajaan Sulu dari Filipina Selatan memasuki daerah Lahad Datu di negara bagian Sabah, Malaysia. Setelah lebih dua pekan mereka dikepung pihak keamanan Malaysia, akhirnya terjadi kontak senjata yang menewaskan 2 polisi Malaysia dan 12 tentara Sulu.

Saat ini, kata Soepeno sahid, kondisi di blok 17 masih tidak menentu. Semua warga dan orang-orang tak bersenjata telah diminta keluar. Hanya kelompok bersenjata kerajaan Sulu yang masih di sana dan dikepung oleh pasukan keamanan Malaysia.

TEMPO.CO, Samarinda - Kepolisian Kawasan Pelabuhan Tunon Taka, Kabupaten Nunukan, Kalimantan Timur, memperketat keluar-masuk orang di wilayah perbatasan itu. Pengetatan penjagaan ini menyusul kerusuhan di Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia, yang mengakibatkan dua polisi Malaysia tewas dan 12 tentara Kerajaan Sulu, Filipina, tewas.

Menurut Kepala Kepolisian Sektor Kawasan Pelabuhan, Ajun Komisaris Sumarwanta, belum ada peningkatan intensitas kedatangan warga Indonesia dari Tawau ke Pelabuhan Tunon Taka. Tapi, lanjut dia, polisi tetap waspada kepada setiap orang yang datang sebagai langkah antisipasi.

"Kami seleksi betul-betul setiap TKI atau penumpang yang datang dari Tawau, Malaysia," kata Sumarwanta saat dihubungi di Samarinda, Ahad, 3 Maret 2013. Dia mengatakan, sejak terdengar kabar adanya kontak senjata di tanah seberang, intensitas pelayaran datang dan pergi ke pelabuhan masih normal.

Penyeberangan dari Pelabuhan Tunon Taka, Nunukan, menuju Tawau membutuhkan waktu tak lebih dari satu jam. Pelabuhan ini menjadi pelabuhan resmi kapal Indonesia dan Malaysia. "Kami selalu koordinasi dengan para TKI di seberang," kata dia.

Sejauh ini menurut dia, tak ada warga Indonesia yang tewas dalam kontak senjata itu. Mereka, kata Sumarwanta, telah diungsikan ke lokasi yang aman. Kontak senjata, kata dia, hanya melibatkan polisi Malaysia dan tentara Kerajaan Sulu, Filipina.

Sehari sebelumnya, Konsulat Jenderal Republik Indonesia di Sabah mengungsikan 600 tenaga kerja Indonesia (TKI) yang bekerja di ladang kelapa sawit di Felda Sahabat Blok 17, negara bagian Sabah, Malaysia, sejak 12 Februari 2013. Keamanan di sana tak menentu setelah terjadinya kontak senjata antara polisi Malaysia dan kelompok bersenjata Kerajaan Sulu dari Filipina Selatan.

Sebanyak 600 pekerja di ladang sawit itu berasal dari Sulawesi Selatan, Nusa Tenggara Barat, dan Nusa Tenggara Timur. Jumlah perkebunan di daerah itu ada 52 blok dan pekerja asal Indonesia di sana sebanyak 8.000 orang.

Memanasnya situasi di daerah itu bermula dari adanya orang bersenjata, yang mengaku sebagai tentara Kerajaan Sulu dari Filipina Selatan, memasuki daerah Lahad Datu di negara bagian Sabah, Malaysia.
