Aquino tells plotters: You will not succeed

Kirams, accomplices will be held accountable

By 



CONSPIRACY...President Aquino issues
warning to people who plotted the
expedition of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III’s
men to Sabah.

As violence spread in Sabah, President Aquino on Monday warned the conspirators in the intrusion of the followers of the sultan of Sulu into the eastern Malaysian state: “You will not succeed.”

In a televised address with officials of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), the President spoke of the alleged involvement of officials of the Arroyo administration in the conspiracy, but he indicated that evidence was still being gathered on the role of former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Aquino said cases were “being built up” against the players.
But the family of Sultan of Sulu Jamalul Kiram III said the government should show proof that there was a sinister intent behind their followers’ crossing into Sabah to stake their claim to the territory.
“All these are just allegations. Prove it. We challenge them to prove it,” Princess Jacel Kiram, daughter of the sultan, said at a news conference.
“They should prove their claim that we have conspirators. If we have conspirators, they are the people,” she said.
She reported fresh fighting in Tanduao village in Lahad Datu town in Sabah where a group of sultanate followers led by her uncle Agbimuddin Kiram is cornered by Malaysian security forces.

What was inside Kiram’s lost letter to Aquino?

(Borneo Insider) - WHAT WAS in that letter so that Sultan Jamalul Kiram III could say that had the President paid attention to it, he and his followers would not have taken matters in their own hands?
It was lost not in translation but in the appreciation of its urgency and significance.
That is what happened to the letter sent to President Aquino in 2010 by Agbimuddin Kiram, crown prince of the sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo, expressing his clan’s stand on the Philippine claim to the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah and the peace process in Muslim Mindanao.

Kiram’s Sabah claim rejected

The Philippines president has told Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III
not to 'hold gun to my head if you wish us to talk'.
MANILA: Malacanang Palace rejected the demand of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III that the government settle the sultanate’s claim over Sabah with Malaysia before his followers would leave the island state, saying they are in no position to set conditions.
“You don’t hold a gun to my head and negotiate. That’s not the way decent people do negotiations. You want us to know your claim, you cooperate,” said presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda.
“The President has said, ‘Come back home, and we will talk.’ But you’re asking me to talk to you while there are people in Sabah – that there’s a possible outcome of violence. That’s not acceptable to us,” Lacierda said.

‘Siapa kirim orang Sulu ke Lahad Datu’

Ini kerana, biaya untuk menyewa kapal feri demi mengirimkan
mereka tidak murah, kata Presiden Benigno Aquino.
MANILA: Filipina sedang sedang mencari siapa yang sebenarnya mengirimkan ratusan orang Sulu ke Lahad Datu, Sabah.
Ini kerana, biaya untuk menyewa kapal feri demi mengirimkan mereka tidak murah, kata Presiden Benigno Aquino.
“Kami diberitahu ada dana besar yang membiayai  mereka dari Tawi-Tawi ke Sabah. Dari mana dana itu? Dari siapa?” katanya seperti dilapor viva.co.id hari ini.
Beliau juga mempersoalkan kesahihan Jamalul Kiram III sebagai pewaris Kesultanan Sulu yang sah.
