I KNOW, as a matter of fact, which a Malaysian armed forces as well as military have a capability to repel a 100-odd armed intruders during Tungku Lahad Datu because a Malaysian armed forces have long prepared for this as well as other identical possible sea borne invasions by unfamiliar forces opposite Sabah.
we had witnessed, as a afterwards Chief Minister, a full scale military exercise conducted in 1997 by paratroopers as well as belligerent forces in a same locality during Tungku with a specific strategic objective to evict a unfamiliar armed invasion.
That is because a few days ago, we said which a people should have every certainty in a confidence forces of Malaysia to in a destiny repel this intrusion.
But a miss of wilful action so distant by a authorities has unprotected a absence of domestic will during Putrajaya to defend Sabah as well as Malaysia's sovereignty. As a result, Malaysia is fast losing credit in a eyes of a people as well as a international neighbours.
Whether a intruders have been militants or Abu Sayyaf or some kind Royal outfit is irrelevant. The fact is which an organised armed group has openly challenged Malaysian sovereignty as well as declare fight on a Yang Di Pertuan Agung as well as on Malaysia. These intruders have been now saying "so what have been we goi! ng to do about it?" Our armed force is being humiliated by a meagre force of 100 group just because a military's hands have been tied by a politicians.
So most money have been spent on training, equipment, logistics as well as manpower to face this sort of intrusion, as well as yet when it happened, Malaysia can do small about it.
If a intruders have been seen to have got divided with this obvious plea to Malaysian sovereignty, afterwards a Malaysian supervision contingency be ready to face 'copy cat' intrusions in a future.
On a longer term, a government, a armed forces, a military as well as other confidence agencies will remove dignified as well as domestic management over the own people.
