Now they are the ones who fired warning shots at us! Who are the intruders, us or the Kiram Sulu followers occupying a village in Lahad Datu, Sabah? This Sultan Kiram is now on Manila's wanted list for what he did but Kiram instead warned Manila not to meddle in his affairs and demanded Kuala Lumpur for a dialogue when his claim on Sabah, OUR LEGITIMATE TERRITORY, stays! The Filipino group, holed-up in Lahad Datu for the third week, confirmed reports of gunfire about 24 hours ago but claimed that they were merely shots to warn off the Malaysian security forces. Azzimudie Kiram, the brother of self-proclaimed Sulu sultan Jamalul Kiram III, told Malaysiakini that a sentry spied six Malaysian soldiers approaching Kampung Tanduo some 130km from Lahad Datu town at around 5pm yesterday and fired into the air. "Everybody jumped and went there, so I followed. When I arrived, I asked him (the sentry) what had happened. "They told me that the shots were aimed at the sky to warn them that they have been spotted. According to them there were six Malaysian soldiers in three groups and they ran away," he said over the phone. So, what is there to discuss? They are a lot of uncivilised people who went against all international law and convention, putting up a demand that could heavily cost Malaysia's good relations with the Philippines. Come on, Hisham, Zahid and Anifah. Time's up! No more extension to demands for 'rooms for negotiation'. They toyed around with our patience and integrity, snubbing at their own President at Malacanang and refused to leave or surrender. These people are terrorists! If they know their rights, they must recognise others' too. Not only had they breached our immigration law but also our security line by bringing in guns and ammo of all sorts. Had we shot them before they landed on our beach, would it be wrong? Now, they are taking advantage of our patience and 'goodwill' by prolonging the conflict. What is our final stand here? The 3-week standoff is already putting us as the 'hooligans' to Philippines media, with reports that the drama is taking its toll on Filipinos working in Sabah, that many employers are already sacking them over the Lahad Datu issue. KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 28 – The intrusion of almost 200 armed Filipinos in Lahad Datu has caused the termination of many Filipino workers in Sabah, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported today. Inquirer.net, the online news site of the Philippine Daily Inquirer broadsheet, reported today that several Filipinos lost their jobs as laundry and oil palm plantation workers in Tawau and Semporna since last week, after the Lahad Datu stand-off began on February 9. "She (Myrna) told me her employer advised her to go home so she would not be implicated in the Lahad Datu situation," Madeline, the mother of a laundry attendant called Myrna, was quoted as saying by the Inquirer today, without giving their last names. But nobody is defending us or rebutting such stories! 'Susah-susah', just let them stay!
