My comments : The report sounds authentic. This event happened 16 days ago on April30th. Obviously nothing more serious has happened.
It could have been Filipino special forces on "hot pursuit". Maybe thats why there is no more news from the Police.
Or it really was a group of MORO militants, which is more likely. How come they can just walk in and out of Sabah at will? What happened to those hundreds of millions spent to beef up security in Sabah?
On May 9, 2017 I blogged the following :
It looks like this "incursion" took place even before I last raised this issue.
My point was (and still is) each time there is some meddling or muddling in the never ending "peace process" in Mindanao, the militant factions that are "left out" of the processretaliate with some action.
After the failure of the Mindanao Peace Process brokered by Malaysia, now the Saudi Arabians have stepped in. There was a meeting among some of the Moro factions in Jeddah on May 8th.
I think this intrusion on April 30th was a warning of what could happen. Most likely Abu Sayyaf and/or Nur Misuari again.

We are not being serious about this at all.
