Report: New Sabah invasion plan brewing in South Philippines, security source warns

KOTA KINABALU, Dec 9 — The Southern Philippines officials and the Sulu militia were making secret plans to invade Sabah, according to a regional security who said this could take place next February, nine years after a deadly incursion into Lahad Datu.’s “This Week in Asia” section, the source claimed 19 locally elected mayors from the Sulu Archipelago met on December 1 to discuss plans on sending a “Royal Sulu Army” of 600 men to invade Sabah.

This time, the source said some 150 to 200 spies from Sulu were expected to be directed to Lahad Datu and Semporna — two key coastal towns where an invasion force might land and the firearms to be used by the soldiers will be buried in an area before. 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.

“Each mayor is expected to provide 50 men who are skilled and brave in battle. The cost of ammunition and other logistics is to be borne by the high-ranking official who also promised to contribute 500,000 pesos to build 100 speed boats that will be used to attack Sabah,” the source said. “Jamalul Kiram died in 2013. His daughter continues to lay claim to Sabah, though it is unclear whether she has any armed supporters or resources to raise a force,” said Abuza.
