PETALING JAYA: With several mainstream media linking Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to the instrusion in Lahad Datu, several pro-opposition blogs posted pictures linking Umno and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to the Filipino intruders.
Greenboc.blogspot.com posted a picture of the self-styled Sultan
Jamalul Kiram III, the leader of the Sulu intruders, attending the 2012
Umno general assembly.
“He was guest at the Umno annual general assembly. Jamalul was
invited as a sign of friendship. What are you going to say now?” reads
the post in the blog.
Blogger Tulang Besi, who runs the Malaysian Waves site, posted a
picture of Najib posing with Sultan Eslam Kiram II, brother of Jamalul
Kiram.
“There are many other Umno leaders who took pictures with Eslam but it’s not out yet,” he said.
Tulang Besi also said that Umno supporters were upset with Moro
National Liberation Front (MNLF) supremo Nur Misuari as the latter
blamed Najib for the mess in Sabah.
“Before this, these Umno supporters didn’t even say a word about Nur
Misuari. Now they are trying to link the MNLF leader to Anwar,” he
added.
However, the most intriguing part of the story comes from
Philippines-based media, Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, quoting
Nur Misuari on Feb. 22 that the intruders were there on “invitation”.
Nur Misuari claimed that he heard that the group led by Crown Prince
Rajah Muda Agbimuddin Kiram, younger brother of Jamalul, went to Sabah
because they were allegedly promised to be settled there by Najib
himself.
Yesterday, the Royal Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) launched an assault on areas of Sabah held by the Filipino intruders.
The police and the military called the operation a success and said that no Malaysians were harmed in the assault.
MNLF’s former propaganda chief, Hadji Acmad Bayam had since
threatened to send in his guerillas to aid his fellow Filipinos if the
Malaysian military did not cease its attacks.
