Sabah police chief Hamza Taib today insisted that Malaysian intelligence reports confirm that 35 alleged intruders were shot dead by the Philippines Navy before they landed on Sabah soil.
However, he said he can only go by intelligence reports as the incident did not happen within Sabah’s jurisdiction.
“The 35 (deaths) were confirmed by intelligence reports but don’t ask me about the Philippines. Only ask me about what happens in Sabah,” he said at Dewan Masyarakat Papar.
Hamza was asked by reporters about the denial by the Philippines Navy that it had shot dead 35 members of the self-styled Sulu army, as claimed by caretaker Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
