Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has blasted the government over its handling of the armed intrusion in Sabah leading to the present violence.
He questioned why the government had waited 23 days before taking action in swiftly ending the crisis.
“This is not failure of the police or army, but the (political) leadership. There is weakness in giving instruction from the top.
"Why did the government wait 23 days only to take action when our sovereignty had been violated?” Anwar asked.
In contrast, Anwar said it took the authorities only four days to solve the Sauk episode of July 2000, when members of a militant group allegedly raided a military armoury to launch attacks on strategic locations.
Early yesterday, prime minister Najib Razak announced Ops Sulu involving the police and military to weed out loyalists of the defunct Sulu sultanate from a village in Lahad Datu.
However, at press time, there has been neither announcement nor visuals of militants' bodies being discovered following intensive air and ground offensive.
