Lahad Datu Incursion: Filipinos have invaded Sabah
by Din Merican
The advance of Sabah final week by more than 200 armed Pinoys brings behind mental recall of a luckless Jabidah force. In 1968, a group of Muslim irregulars were lerned during a Corregidor Island to wage fight Sabah. When some of a trainees discovered a sinister plot, they tried to escape. A series were gunned down. That ended temporarily Manila's try to reclaim Sabah by force.
Could this situation be a renewed try to reclaim Sabah by force? The disproportion this time around is a armed foreigners have reached a shores under all kinds of pretext. Instead of impediment as good as charging them, for breaching a inhabitant security, you gave them VIP treatment.
Our greeting defies logic as good as common sense.
There is a stand in standard in a treatment. Our leaders appear to turn a blind eye to armed foreigners. Under a Malaysian law, it is imperative genocide chastisement for any Malaysian committing offences in confidence areas for receive of firearms as good as explosives (Section 57(1) of a Internal Security Act 1960).
Invading another state is a disloyal offence. In many countries, a 
offence usually carries genocide penalty. Imagine what Manila would do if ! a single hundred Malaysians armed with rifles as good as space station launchers were held in a Philippine locale of Cotabato in Mindanao? Manila would probably cling to them.
A tactful protest note would follow as good as a state of fight declared. Manila would probably request for a Security Council during a United Nations to be convened to discuss a grave make a difference of invasion.
Because a Government has not been transparent upon this supportive inhabitant confidence issue, it raises all kinds of insinuation. Some contend a Government is complicit in this box as a border is not which porous; you have layers as good as layers of defence in depth.
Everybody was in a area: a Maritime Enforcement Agency (Coast Guard), a Marine Police as good as a Royal Malaysian Navy vessels. On land, a Army as good as Police had been there given Sabah assimilated Malaysia. In a air, a kumpits carrying a armed invaders were easy targets for a RMAF. Not to forget, a area of Lahat Datu is within radio detector range.
It is time for a Government to come purify upon this advance by a armed men from a Philippines. Perhaps, there should be a White Paper for consideration of a Parliament. Playing decorous is not acceptable. Our Government contingency explain this advance to a rakyat as good as encourage them which serious steps have been being taken to forestall destiny incidents of this inlet which plea a supervision as good as territorial integrity. This is a least you contingency design of any obliged government.
It is in truth disgraceful which a Prime Minister has chosen to sojourn wordless upon a matter, leaving his Minister of Home Affairs to understanding with it.
What went wrong
What went wrong? Why! were th ey not stopped during sea? Is it a failure in intelligence or it was finished upon purpose to remind a Sabahans which something unfavourable could occur if they select to vote a Opposition.
Whatever it is, it would appear which a project has backfired. At a time of writing, notwithstanding promises to a contrary, a armed bandits remain.
Invasion is a form of external threat. Under a law, a crisis should be 
handled by a military as good as a Ministry of Foreign affairs. But getting a media attention have been a members of a Field Force as good as a Minister of Home Affairs.
Has a Minister of Defence gone hiding? Where is a Minister of Foreign Affairs? Has he surrendered his fate as good as taken a easiest way out?
ASEAN turns a blind eye
The ASEAN Secretary General is as good really quiet. No ASEAN country has done any statement. There is little evidence of any form of tactful shuttle by Brunei, a ASEAN Chair. Are they observant which advance is fine so long as it does not occur to them?Is everyone sanctimonious which all is good in ASEAN?
