KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 — News that southern Philippines officials and Sulu militia are allegedly planning an invasion of Sabah cannot be independently verified yet, Deputy Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz told Parliament today.
SCMP reported regional security personnel as saying that the purported invasion could take place next February, nine years after a deadly incursion into Lahad Datu. “The potential of the plan to attack Sabah coming to fruition depends on how much political support and funds it can get from various parties,” the report quoted the source as saying.
He said that sleeper cells were in Sabah, with intelligence gathering and security stepped up in Sabah since the discovery of the Sulu meeting. In February 2013, over 200 self-styled armed Sulu military invaded the east coast town of Lahad Datu at the behest of self-proclaimed Sultan of Sulu, Jamalul Kiram III, and led by the Jamalul’s brother, Agbimuddin, whose family was seeking an ancestral claim over Sabah.
According to the report, 11 of the 19 mayors who attended the secret meeting agreed to the plan while the rest sat on the fence, neither agreeing to nor rejecting it.
