The intrusion by Sulu invaders has 'challenged as never before' the integrity and safety of Sabah, says Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
PETALING JAYA: Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah today cautioned that the intrusion by a group of Sulu gunmen into Lahad Datu is a sign of impending danger to Sabah’s future.
“The failure of those responsible to secure our borders is so serious that I feel I have to raise this warning as I believe that the integrity of Sabah and the genuine Sabahans must be protected at all costs,” he said in a statement today.
The veteran Umno leader said the integrity and safety of Sabah “is challenged as never before”.
He said all Malaysians particularly Sabahans should rightfully be alarmed by the security failure and foreign invasion.
He also called on the Malaysia authorities to prevent such incident from happening in the future.
“I plead to all Malaysians to give support to the Sabahans in this hour of their great concern,” he said.
The intrusion incident has escalated following a gunfight on Friday between Malaysian security forces and the intruders, who claimed to be the followers of Sultan Sulu.
The shootout resulted in the death of two Malaysian police commandos and 12 Sulu gunmen,
Today, another five policemen and two intruders were killed in an ambush assault launched by the Sulu’s side.
