KORONADAL CITY, Philippines—Malaysian security forces have started their crackdown on the Filipino armed group that has occupied a part of Sabah, Malaysia, by arresting late Monday the nephew of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III in Sabah.

Abraham Idjirani, spokesperson of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, confirmed the arrest of Sahid Asaral Aswad in the village of Tanduao in Lahad Datu town.

“But he was not part of the team that arrived early this month. He was born there,” Idjirani said by phone.

“We are not certain what his violation is but it’s clear the Malaysian government has started its crackdown against supporters and relatives of Kiram,” he added.

“We have instructed our group there to remain calm. I just talked to their leader, Rajah Mudah Agbimuddin,” Idjirani said.

The heirs of the sultan of Sulu led by Agbimuddin, brother of Kiram III, and his 300 followers sailed to Sabah on February 12 to pursue their claim to the resource-rich state.

    Its most appropriate we Sabahans should raid every Filipino night clubs in Kota Kinabalu city and elsewhere in Sabah, cut their throats with daggers, burn down their Filipino night clubs to the ground, rape every Filipino women workers especially those entertainers, torch every Filipino homes, kill every Filipino wives, mutilate genitals of every Filipino prostitutes in town, maim their Filipino children, hack every Filipino students on student passes in Sabah with machetes, turn those hate Filipino campaigns into real bloody carnage, architect new organised schemes of genocide campaigns on Filipinos and to float their dead bodies into the shores of Sulu seas.
    We shall teach our children to plant seeds of Filipinos hatred campaign in our daily vocabulary of all ethnic Sabahans and in our languages/dialects to weed them off the face of Borneo, not only in Sabah, but also in Labuan, Brunei, Sarawak and Kalimantan. 
    Ganyang Filipina !!!!!

      You’re late with your rent, so we are sending our eviction units now. You had been renting our Sabah land and that makes you a renter. Right? We have documents that you’re paying rent to the Sultanate of Sulu until 2010, and that makes us the administrator of the land Sabah. Right? Why are you trying to evade this issue for many, many years now? Settle this peacefully and return the land to the rightful owners. Or else, the Philippines military that is growing mightier month by month will take care of you in the peace process.

        Your “so-called” eviction unit came in under-equipped. No amphibious landing crafts ? No heavy tanks ? No armoured carriers ? No battle cruisers ? No USD currencies to buy food ? Only soiled pesos that local villagers doesn’t want to accept.

        You know what is the best joke ? You know what is more laughable ? your Sulu Armed-forces are made of ageing elderly people of advanced age came in with fishermen boats made of wood. Bunch of ailing old-men with Pinoy mobile phones and pinoy SIM cards. Pity them !!

        The same tactics used by Lashkar e-Toiba who landed a team of Pakistani insurgents that came into shores of Mumbai in India by boats in 2009. At least to compare with the Mumbai terror attack styles, it was caused by a group of young gunmen. All of them were killed later.

    LET’S CUT THE BULLSH*T, ok? Malaysia joined the peace process because of their business interest in the region. They want the right to drill oil and natural gas in the region because if not,  others will.  Who authorized them to be in the peace process for the first place by the way,  but the Aquino government.  FILIPINOS WAKE UP AND USE YOUR ANALLYSIS.  Why not a peace negotiator composed of ASEAN nation members?  See?  
        The Sultanate of Sulu wants their land back after the gov’t. of Malaysia stopped payment on the year 2010 on their lease.

      BAKIT galit-na-galit ka at yang vena cava mo, e, namamaga sa kabwisitan?  Ano bang papel mo sa usaping yan at pati yong mga natutulog na kabayan ay binubulabog mo.  Ke aga-aga, e, bumubuluwak ka na agad.  Relak ka lang.  Hamong bunuin ng mga nakaka-alam sa problema at mukhang gusto mo isangkot ang mga kabayan sa TNK na gusot na ‘to.  Tinitiyak ko sa iyo, maliban sa pagmi-miron, walang interes ang mga kabayan sa bagay na yan na wala naman silang mkahihita kundi ang god bless at ingat at sa totoo lang.

      Correct! Kiram is nothing compared to Malaysia. 

      Malaysia is interfering with our internal affairs by medling with the Philippine gov’t and MILF peace negotiations.

      Soon, majority of the MILF states would request UN to let them be ruled under Malaysia just what had happened to Sabah. 

      Malaysia extended Sabah and then will extend further more their occupation on the southern Philippines. The Philippines could do nothing.
