KOTA KINABALU: The highest level of the Federal Government is taking action over claims by the self-proclaimed Sulu heirs and there is no need for any parties to “shout at the top of their voices” over the issue, says Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said that the ruling made by Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun to reject calls to debate the defunct Sulu Sultanate claims over Sabah and the bid to seize two subsidiary companies under PETRONAS in Luxembourg must be respected.

There were rules and laws in Parliament, and as such, there was no point for the Opposition to “shout at the top of their voices” just to get public attention since the Speaker had made a ruling, Ongkili said in a statement Thursday . The Kota Marudu MP said the Federal Government has set up a task force, led by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, and a panel of top lawyers, including the Attorney General, to monitor progress on the legal action taken by the Sulu Sultanate in France, as well as advising the Federal Government in terms of strategies pertaining to the protection of Malaysia's assets overseas.

They are superior than parliment 😁

No one trusts the “highest level of govt” to handle the job without Parliament oversight though. After all, they completely fouled up the issue already.
