AKU BEBAS AKHIRNYA

Sukar untuk diluahkan dengan kata-kata atau coretan yang panjang, namun quote ini mungkin dapatkan memberi gambaran jelas..

PENCEROBOHAN DI LAHAT DATU-KEPUTUSAN NAJIB DISOKONG

Jampi Serapah bukan cara Islam...

Assalamualaikum buat semua pengunjung...sememangnya pernah ada dikalangan pengunjung yang menasihatkan saya agar tidak menyentuh isu politik secara serius..justeru biarlah saya nyatakan bahawa tajuk dan artikel ini bukanlah bermotifkan politik namun sebagai sokongan peribadi saya terhadap pendirian DS Najib berhubung insiden di Lahat Datu.

Walaupun saya bukan pakar dalam aspek peperangan namun saya berpendapat cadangan gencatan senjata yang dibuat oleh Pak Kiram tidak harus dilayan...kenapa sebab saya amat yakin mereka tidak akan menepatinya. Kalaulah mereka sanggup membunuh orang Islam yang tidak melakukan sebarang provokasi terhadap mereka, malahan memberi mereka makanan dan ruang rundingan sepenuhnya, adakah mereka akan akur dengan janji???? Nescaya tidak, justeru keputusan DS Najib agar mereka tetap keluar dan menyerah diri walaupun berhasrat mahu letak senjata adalah tepat...

CARTA ANAK SOLEH & SOLEHAH

Salam ukhwah untuk semua para pengunjung...semua insan mahukan zuriat yang dilahirkan menjadi insan berguna sekaligus sebagai anak yang soleh dan solehah...nak tahu caranya, jom kita amalkan kitaran di atas...In Syaa Allah sapa tahu berkat usaha kita..

IT'S YELLOW 24

On a one fine day, a man goes to the doctor and asks why he's been feeling too ill. The doctor carrry out a thorough check on him and finally replies, "sir..I'm sorry to tell you that, you have got the disease known as Yellow 24." "What's that?" the man asked. "It means your internal organs have started turning yellow and I'm sorry to say that you have got 24 hours to live."

The man goes home sadly and tells his wife the bad news. His wife says "well, will you come to Bingo with me tonight then? Otherwise you will never be able to." The man agrees, so he and his wife go to the Bingo. He finds that he's won the one-line and got $20. He begins to think that this isn't such a bad day after all. Twenty minutes later he's won the full house and got $150. He enters the lucky draw, worth $500 and wins that too. 

The Bingo Caller calls him up on the stage and says "I don't believe it mate, you have won three competitions in a total of $670 in one night. You must be the luckiest man on earth!" The man says, "Well...no I am not. I have got Yellow 24." The Bingo Caller looks down at the piece of paper he's holding and start clapping. "I don't believe it, he won the raffle's as well!"....

TIAN CHUA TAK GUNA AKAL

Sepatutnya kita hantar saja Tian Chua ke Lahat Datu untuk bertempur...

Salam ukhwah kepada sahabat muslimin dan muslimat. Agak terkilan juga dihati saya apabila YB Tian Chua mengeluarkan kenyataan yang bagi saya cukup biadap dan tidak bertanggung jawab. Dalam aspek politik dan ideologi sebagaimana saya sering nyatakan..ianya adalah hak masing-masing dan saya tidak berminat dengan isu politik secara serius...Namun kenyataan beliau bahawa apa yang berlaku di Sabah adalah perancangan kerajaan adalah cukup tidak boleh diterima akal dan tidak bertanggungjawab...bagi saya sejahat mana sekalipun kerajaan, adakah mereka sanggup menggadaikan nyawa rakyatnya...

Adakah kematian Allahyarham satu sandiwara???

Adakah kematian perajurit PDRM itu juga adalah sandiwara atau pun dirancang...kenyataan yang cukup biadap..sebab mereka berdepan dengan nyawa....bagi budiman yang membaca artikel ini, gunalah kebijaksanaan masing-masing untuk menilaikannya...ADAKAH KEMATIAN SATU SANDIWARA..ADAKAH NYAWA, KESELAMATAN DAN KEDAULATAN NEGARA SATU SANDIWARA????

Kematian adalah wajib..namun ianya bukanlah sandiwara wahai Tian Chua

Azzumudin Died In Lahat Datu-It Has Come To An End

Azzumudin died....

"Died For Nothing"..that s the best word that I can say on this matter. The Malays always said "MATI KATAK-Died like a frog"...IGP has confirmed that Azzumudin is among the the 20's terrorist who died in Lahat Datu after massive attacks by the SU 21 and MIG...I don't think the Philippines Government feel sad about it since they have tarnished the image of the Phillippinoes all over the world, fighting for something that is not theirs.

There are some info saying that The Sulu's Heritage in Sabah feel unhappy with the Malaysian Government act. My answer is simple, the Malaysian Government has given ample time for these group to surrender and leave the country peacefully but they didn't. Therefore they have to bare with what ever actioned taken now and later.

The Culprits Who Endangered The Sabahan Lives

I'm sure that everybody especially Malaysians are concerned with what happened in East Sabah. As I mentioned earlier, I'm quite interesting with the article's wrote by Tun Faizal, it doesn't mean that I admired him but...why not you guys just read it...

 

[Note] Someone send me this link for further understanding of Lahad Datu crisis. Read further to understand where does it come from.

sabah - a prized catch

http://sabahgroundzero.blogspot.com/2013/02/sabah-prized-catch.html?m=1

By Gabungan Pribumi Prihatin Sabah (Coalition of Concerned Sabah Natives)

The incident involving a large group of Sulu warriors (Royal Army of Sulu) currently locked in a standoff with Malaysian authorities at Lahad Datu in Sabah is not merely about the Sultanate of Sulu enforcing its ancestral claims on Sabah.

Do not be misled as this current unfolding of events is the beginning of a much sinister ploy.

Sabah is ground zero in a conspiracy perpetrated by very powerful entities and the Filipino Muslims rebels currently at standoff with Malaysian authorities are merely pawns in a game where lives are ‘meant’ to be lost for a deceptive cause.

Claims that Sulu warriors landed in Sabah because the Sulu Sultanate was left out of the recent peace process brokered by Malaysia between Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippines Government is NOT REALLY THE FACT!

The following are some facts and evidence that reveal why Sabah is Ground Zero:

1. The SMOKESCREEN ?

 

This ship – USS GUARDIAN – ran aground in Tubbataha Reefs in Philippines on Jan 17, 2013.

The USS Guardian, after it ran aground in Tubbataha Reefs is pictured on Jan. 17, 2013, by the Armed Forces of the Philippines Western Command.

This ship was ‘deliberately’ made to sail off-course. Imagine with the latest equipment on board and having sailed through the same route many times, this minesweeper ship was unable to differentiate the reefs from the waters.

Despite being warned repeatedly by Tubbataha Reef Marine Rangers, the USS Guardian commander refused to listen and stop.

He even ordered his crew to get into ‘battle position’ when the rangers tried to get on board to make a routine inspection on the ship after it ran aground.

“Until today, it remains a mystery: Why were they even near Tubbataha? The Sulu Sea is so vast, and it takes hours from Puerto Princesa to reach it. Why couldn’t they see it when they had all the state-of-the-art maps and navigation systems?” asked Jose Ma. Lorenzo, World Wildlife Fund-Philippines chief executive officer.

THIS is what Philippines Department of Transportation and Communication Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya said of the US Sailors on board USS Guardian:

“Some say they probably enjoyed too much of an RnR in Subic, some said error in digital charts, some say they were doing a different thing there on their own…..”

In other words, the Secretary was trying to imply that USS Guardian was running its own 'clandestine' operation.

(For further read on the USS GUARDIAN issue, please go to: http://globalnation.inquirer.net)

Could it be that this incident created a smokescreen for some other activities to take place in the Sulu Sea and adjoining Celebs Sea?

* The date of the incident was Jan 17, 2013.

* Members of the self-styled Royal Army of Sulu invaded Sabah on Feb 11, 2013, which is 24 days later.

There was a flurry of activities involving US ships as well as rescue and salvage ships in the Sulu Sea since the Jan 17 incident at Tubbahata Reef region.

As a matter of fact, the crew on board USS Guardian were quickly rescued and whisked away to a Japan safe zone. Why were they not brought to Philippines which is the most logical thing to do?

Could it be that all this activities that ensued in the Sulu Sea could have provided an opening for hundreds of speed boats with Sulu warriors to sail into Sabah undetected?

Something is just not right with the USS Guardian.    

2. The BACK CHANNEL MAN aka DOUBLE AGENT

Philippines Senator Antonio ‘Sonny’ Fuentes Trillanes IV, a former Navy Lieutenant is the man who knows exactly what is going on Sabah.

Trillanes IV (born 6 August 1971 in Manila, Philippines) is a Philippine military and political figure. (You can find his details in Wikipedia). He is best known for his role in the 2003 Oakwood Mutiny when he and a group of 321 armed soldiers took over the Oakwood apartment towers in Makati City, lined them with bombs and threatened to demolish them because they were tired of corruption in the army and called for the ousting of then-President Gloria Aroyo. He is an incumbent Senator of the Philippines, the first Philippine Senator to be elected while in jail.

Now, he has called on President Aquino’s administration to make known its policy on the country’s claim to Sabah and on the standoff between Malaysian security forces and a group of armed warriors loyal to Sultan of Sulu in the eastern Malaysian territory.

Read more at:  http://globalnation.inquirer.net/64989/trillanes-calls-on-aquino-govt-to-reveal-stand-on-sabah-claim

Trillanes was President Aquino’s backchannel link to Beijing at the height of tensions between the Philippines and China over a territorial dispute in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) last year.

Trillanes, as told to reporters in Manila recently, is the person responsible for directly briefing President Aquino on the Sabah situation.

But some in Philippines claim he is a double agent.

He is known to get things done by playing to Washington’s tune. When he was advising Aquino during the tensions with China, he did his job fairly well by getting sound advice from the Americans while sweet talking to the Chinese at the same time.

Leaked diplomatic cables reveal that one or two American special agents will always be trailing Trillanes each time he met with top Chinese Government officials, be it in China or Manila, during the crisis negotiations.

And the Chinese probably knew it too, but they were busy playing their own games with the Americans and the Filipinos.

Regarding the standoff issue in Sabah, Trillanes was quoted as saying: “It was high time the Department of Foreign Affairs articulated the government’s policy on Sabah. Until then we’ll have to withhold further comment because this is a very sensitive issue and it involves the lives of our countrymen in Sabah”.

It appears that Trillanes knows that some lives could be lost in the Sabah standoff.

3. Toothless Tiger  Grows FANGS

Sultan Jamalul Kiram III has been a toothless tiger for a very long time as he is plagued by a lot of problems, from family infightings, health issues, financial difficulty and rivals claiming his throne, more than a dozen to speak.

One just has to read www.fakesulusultans.com to catch a glimpse of how many ‘sultans’ are claiming the one throne in Sulu.

Jamalul Kiram knows his kingdom is not safe in his hands, and he suffers from liver ailment as well as other illnesses, and lives in constant fear that someone will poison him to claim his throne.

But then, suddenly, the toothless tiger Jamalul Kiram grows fangs and claws.

He orders his troops, helmed by his crown prince, to invade Sabah knowing very well that the full might of the Malaysian army will be upon his men.

How did this happen? Any by the way, Jamalul Kiram is still undergoing treatment at a Manila hospital for liver ailment.

This begs the question, who is behind Jamalul Kiram’s renewed vigour in claiming Sabah?

Who gave money to the Sulu warriors aka ROYAL SULU ARMY to buy speed boats, fuel,  food, clothes and weapons that include M16 and M14 rifles, M16 carbines and M203 grenade launchers?

This only means one thing –

SOMEONE IS BANKROLLING THE ENTIRE OPERATION.

And the troops that came in via sea were taken in and cared by those living in Sabah, reinforcing the fact that sleeper cells have been activated.

Sleeper cells are activated when orders are given to them together with funds as proof of an assignment’s authenticity.

4. Sulu Royalties seek AMERICAN help to claim Sabah

While poor old Sultan Jamalul Kiram is having it hard in the Philippines, six of his close relatives and heirs are living the American dream. They reportedly have become American citizens.

Upon receiving news that their patriarch is mounting a challenge to reclaim Sabah, Jamalul Kiram’s relatives, nephews and nieces are very excited.

They are so excited with the prospects of reclaiming Sabah that they now want the United States and President Barack Obama to help Sultan Jamalul Kiram with his claim.

Former Senator Santanina Rasul, one of  Jamalul Kiram’s relatives and heirs who lay claim over Sabah, told journalists that one of her sons, Abraham Rasul Jr is an American citizen and has right to claim his share in the inheritance of Sabah.

The articles on Sulu Sultan heirs to ask US help on Sabah can be read here:

5. Did PKR duo find facts on CONMAN in Manila or did they learn more?

In early February 2013, two PKR politicians from Malaysian went to Manila to probe on Aman Futures Group conman Manuel Amalilion who defrauded Filipinos of 12 billion pesos in a Ponzi scheme.

The duo told Malaysians that they are going to Manila on a fact finding mission on Manuel Amalilio and his Aman Futures Group.

They took a Friday night flight, stayed in Manila on Saturday and returned to KL the following day.

The Question is - why did they go to Manila on a fact finding mission when almost 99% of victims swindled by Amalilio were in the Mindanao and Visayas regions?

After all, Manuel’s office and centre of operations was in Pagadian City, a city that is 1,113km away from Manila.

What were they actually doing in Manila?  

Did they meet a CIA agent there under instructions from Anwar Ibrahim’s American contact, or did they meet an agent of Nur Misuari, leader of rebel group Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)?

Or did they meet an agent of Sultan Jamalul Kiram?

After all, the Sultan is undergoing dialysis treatment in a hospital in Manila.

Indeed, hours after landing in Manila, they did meet someone who resembled a special agent.

It’s no secret that PKR boss has very close ties with the CIA as well as Philippine rebel groups, and is in a position to help US set up a Navy base in Sabah should his coalition form the new federal government (Read http://sabahdigadai.blogspot.com).

6. The MANUEL AMALILIO – SULU SULTANATE CONNECTION

 Before we explain further, please read the court proceeding in Philippines as reported in:http://www.sunstar.com.ph/manila/local-news/2012/11/28/pagadian-mayor-wife-charged-syndicated-estafa-255647

Manuel Amalilio was under the radar of Philippines internal security agency for supporting terrorism activities.

After all, he took thousands of Filipino Muslims to the dry cleaners by promising to double up their money with his preposterous scam.

Many Filipino Muslims supported him because he projected a greater cause, which is to make the poor Filipino Muslim community wealthier.

He was often seen praying five times a day and making frequent quotes from the Holy Quran while speaking to investors.

“Philippines Justice Secretary De Lima confirmed the National Bureau of Investigations received intelligence information stating that the multi-billion peso windfall from Aman's (futures group) pyramiding scheme is being used to finance the activities of a terrorist group”.

The above is the actual quote from justice secretary Leila Magistrado De Lima as reported in Philippines media after syndicated estafa charges were filed on Pagadian City Mayor Samuel Co and his wife Priscilla Ann in the wake of the Aman Futures Group Scam end of last year.

That is the actual reason why Malaysian police scrambled to stop the deportation of the conman at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport on Jan 25, 2013.

Manuel Amalilio was in a position to provide Malaysian security forces with valuable information on terrorists/rebel groups such as Abu Sayyaf, MNLF and the Royal Sulu Army that could threaten the security in the region.

So despite knowing it would turn out to be a public relations disaster, Malaysian Authorities proceeded to block Manuel’s deportation.

The backlash received by Malaysian Authorities was severe but nonetheless, it was justifiable and worth the trouble.

During interrogation, Manuel has spilled the beans on who he was feeding the money to, and it appears that he is not only a conman, but an enemy to the state of Sabah.

Dozens of payment from these banks (list provided by Philippines Justice Department) indicate that they could have found its way to the hands of terrorist and rebel groups that wanted to derail the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement for peace.

Among the banks covered by the freeze order (on Aman Group’s assets) were the Land Bank of the Philippines; Bank of the Philippine Islands; Banco de Oro; Unibank; Allied Bank; Bank of Commerce; BPI Family Savings Bank; China Banking Corp.; Citibank, NA; Development Bank of the Philippines, East West Bank; Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Corp.; Metrobank; One Network Bank; Orix Metro Leasing and Finance Company; Philippine Bank of Communication; Philippine Savings Bank; RCBC; Security Bank; Standard Chartered Bank; Union Bank; UCPB; and Philippine National Bank.

7. The UNSEEN HANDS

The standoff in Sabah, and its timing, validates the fact that powerful, unseen hands are behind it.

 

There is a resemblance to many uprisings in the world.

Through highly specialised covert operations, the Government of many countries have fallen.

And often, these clandestine operations are carried out by private defence contractors and mercenaries appointed by the US Government.

The situation in Sabah is no different.

8. The SPOILS

Sabah, it appears, is a prized catch.

For the American, there is a dire need to enhance and strengthen their military presence in the Southeast Asia region, especially to contain China’s rising power.

After Philippines closed its doors on US Clark Naval Base, America has since been looking for another base, ideally in the South China Sea.

Getting its ‘hands’ on Sabah by backing a new Government that will bend to its wishes will be the ideal scenario for US.

There will be a lot of spill-over effects.

It should also be noted that Sabah has oil and gas reserves as big as Kuwait’s.

Besides, there are abundant natural resources and vast mineral deposits such as coal, gold, copper, limestone and etc.

As for some Opposition politicians in Malaysia, the fall of Sabah will signify the ruling coalition, one of the oldest Governments in the world, losing its fixed deposit and hence losing power after a rule of 50 over years.

CONCLUSION

The standoff in Sabah has all the trademarks of a cleverly orchestrated plan to topple the current administrators of Sabah with influence from world superpowers.

The Sulu Sultanate claim is just a smokescreen.

Common sense will show, if Sulu Sultanate wanted to claim back Sabah, why only NOW ???

Analisis Pencerobohan Di Lahat Datu Dan Kaitan Pengganas Sulu

Pelbagai teori dan idea yang dilahirkan berkaitan insiden di Lahat Datu yang membabitkan sekumpulan Pengganas dari Kepulauan Jolo di Selatan Filipina. Walau bagaimanapun saya amat tertarik dengan analisis yang dibuat oleh Blogger Tun Faizal menerusi artikelnya bertajuk Lahat Datu-Analisis Sejarah Dan Punca Pencerobohan Pengganas Sulu seperti berikut.

1. Siapakah Yang Menceroboh?

Kumpulan penceroboh yang dikenali sebagai ‘Tentera DiRaja Kesultanan Sulu’ (The Royal Sulu Sultanate Army)1 datang dari Selatan Filipina dan dianggarkan terdiri daripada kira-kira 200-400 orang, dengan 20-100 orang daripada mereka bersenjata2. 

Kumpulan ini diketuai oleh ‘Raja Muda’ Agbimuddin Kiram, adik kepada ‘mantan sultan’ Jamalul Kiram III dan ‘sultan’ Ismael Kiram II.3 4 Jamalul Kiram III pernah bertanding untuk jawatan senator dalam pilihanraya Filipina.

2. Adakah Kumpulan Penceroboh Ini Mewakili Kesultanan Sulu?

Tidak.

Ini kerana kerajaan Filipina telah berhenti mengiktiraf Sultan Sulu sejak kemangkatan Sultan Mohd. Mahakuttah A. Kiram pada tahun 1986. Kini terdapat dua pihak utama yang mengaku sebagai Sultan Sulu:

Pertama, Muedzul Lail Tan Kiram, anak kepada Sultan Sulu terakhir yang diiktiraf kerajaan Filipina, Sultan Mohd. Mahakuttah A. Kiram. Beliau dilantik sebagai Raja Muda pada hari penabalan bapa beliau sebagai sultan.

Kedua, Ismael Kiram II, abang kepada ketua penceroboh, ‘Raja Muda’ Agbimuddin Kiram.

Majlis penabalan Sultan Mohd. Mahakuttah A. Kiram sebagai Sultan Sulu pada 1974. Kelihatan sedang berjalan ialah anak beliau, Muedzul Lail Tan Kiram, yang ditabalkan sebagai Raja Muda. Kumpulan penceroboh ialah pengikut Ismael Kiram II, yang tidak pernah ditabalkan sebagai Sultan Sulu yang diiktiraf oleh kerajaan Filipina.

3. Apakah Tujuan Kumpulan Penceroboh?

‘Mantan sultan’ Jamalul Kiram III menyatakan bahawa kumpulan ini ingin menjadikan Sabah sebagai ‘rumah’ mereka:

 “Mengapa kami harus meninggalkan rumah kami sendiri? Hakikatnya mereka (rakyat Malaysia) membayar sewa (kepada kami). Pengikut kami akan tinggal di Lahad Datu, Sabah. Tiada siapa akan dihantar pulang ke Filipina. Sabah ialah rumah kami”.2

4. Adakah Filipina Pernah Membuat Tuntutan Terhadap Sabah?

Ya.

Filipina membuat tuntutan terhadap Sabah kerana menganggap Kesultanan Sulu, yang pernah berpusat di Filipina, memiliki hak ke atas Sabah.

Setiausaha Kehakiman, Kementerian Luar dan Pejabat Presiden Filipina kini telah diarahkan untuk melakukan kajian mengenai tuntutan Kesultanan Sulu terhadap Sabah.5

5. Adakah Malaysia Boleh Membuat Tuntutan Terhadap Wilayah Milik Filipina Sekiranya Kesultanan Sulu Menjadikan Sabah Sebagai Pusat Pentadbiran?

Sabah tidak pernah menjadi pusat Kesultanan Sulu.

Malah, Sabah dianggap kurang penting oleh Kesultanan Sulu sehinggakan ia diserah kepada British North Borneo Company pada 22 Januari 1878.

Pusat Kesultanan Sulu terletak di Maimbung, Jolo.

Istana Sultan di pusat pentadbirannya di Maimbung, Jolo. ‘Kesultanan Sulu’ tidak memiliki apa-apa kuasa politik di Jolo tetapi mahu menuntut kuasa politik di Sabah.

6. Adakah Pihak Di Malaysia Yang Menyokong Tuntutan Kesultanan Sulu Ke Atas Sabah?

Wakil The Manila Times di Mindanao, Al Jacinto, melaporkan bahawa pencerobohan ‘Tentera DiRaja Kesultanan Sulu’ berlaku ketika Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, ketua Pakatan Rakyat, mencadangkan agar Sabah diberikan kuasa autonomi.6

The Manila Times melaporkan bahawa pencerobohan ‘Tentera DiRaja Kesultanan Sulu’ berlaku ketika Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim mencadangkan agar Sabah diberikan kuasa autonomi.

ABS-CBN News melaporkan bahawa kumpulan penceroboh tersebut telah dijemput oleh seorang ahli politik pembangkang:

 A Philippine military officer interviewed by Reuters also said the men were followers of the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu – an island group off the southern Philippines – who had been invited to Sabah by a Malaysian opposition politician to discuss land issues.7
(Seorang pegawai tentera Filipina yang ditemuramah Reuters juga berkata bahawa kumpulan tersebut merupakan pengikut kepada waris Sultan Sulu – sebuah kepulauan di selatan Filipina – yang diundang ke Sabah oleh seorang ahli politik pembangkang Malaysia untuk membincangkan isu tanah.)

ABS-CBN News melaporkan seorang pegawai tentera Filipina memberitahu Reuters bahawa kumpulan penceroboh telah diundang seorang ahli politik pembangkang.

The Star melaporkan bahawa Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, ketika ditanya samada laporan yang mengatakan bahawa pihak pembangkang menjemput kumpulan penceroboh tersebut ke Sabah adalah benar, menjawab:

 Who is the one who gave it?8
(Siapa yang beri?)

7. Benarkah Malaysia Membayar Sewa Kepada Filipina Untuk Sabah?

Tidak.

Malaysia membayar ‘cession money‘ sebanyak USD5,000 setiap tahun kepada waris Sultan Sulu.

‘Cession money‘ ialah bayaran penyerahan, dan bukan bayaran sewa. Selain Sabah, terdapat wilayah-wilayah lain di dunia yang diserahkan (ceded) dengan bayaran, contohnya:

1. Louisiana, diserah oleh Perancis kepada Amerika Syarikat dengan bayaran berjumlah USD15 juta, atau kurang USD0.03 seekar.

2. Alaska, diserah oleh Russia kepada Amerika Syarikat dengan bayaran USD7.2 juta, atau USD0.02 seekar.

8. Apakah Wilayah Yang Menjadi Hak Kesultanan Sulu?

Royal House of Sulu9, laman web rasmi Muedzul Lail Tan Kiram, mendakwa bahawa wilayah-wilayah yang menjadi hak Kesultanan Sulu termasuklah Jolo, Palawan, Semenanjung Zamboanga, Basilan dan Tawi-Tawi di Filipina, selain Sabah dan Pulau Balambangan di Malaysia. Kepulauan Spratly juga didakwa di bawah hak Kesultanan Sulu.

Jolo, Basilan dan Tawi-Tawi sekarang berada di dalam wilayah pentadbiran Filipina yang dinamakan ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao – Wilayah Autonomi Muslim Mindanao). ARMM dicadang untuk digantikan dengan wilayah autonomi baru yang dikenali sebagai Bangsamoro.

9. Adakah Filipina Mengiktiraf Kesultanan Sulu?

Tidak.

Kali terakhir kerajaan Filipina mengiktiraf Sultan Sulu ialah pada 24 Mei 1974 apabila Presiden Filipina ketika itu, Ferdinand Marcos, mengeluarkanMemorandum Order No. 427 yang menabalkan Mohd. Mahakuttah A. Kiram sebagai sultan.

Sejak kemangkatan Sultan Mohd. Mahakuttah A. Kiram, kerajaan Filipina tidak pernah lagi mengiktiraf mana-mana individu sebagai Sultan Sulu.

Memorandum Order No. 427 ialah bukti terakhir kerajaan Filipina mengiktiraf Kesultanan Sulu. Tiada sebarang memorandum dikeluarkan untuk mana-mana individu yang mengaku ‘sultan’ selepas itu. Filipina tidak mengiktiraf Kesultanan Sulu tetapi pernah menuntut wilayah yang kononnya masih menjadi hak Kesultanan Sulu.

10. Adakah Ini Bermakna Filipina Memanipulasi Kesultanan Sulu Untuk Menuntut Sabah?

Filipina dilaporkan pernah memulakan ‘Operation Merdeka‘ pada 1967, satu operasi ketenteraan untuk melatih pasukan komando daripada etnik Tausug dan Sama yang beragama Islam bagi menimbulkan ketidakstabilan dan kacau-bilau di Sabah.

Namun, sebaik sahaja mengetahui matlamat sebenar operasi ini ialah untuk memerangi kerajaan yang dipimpin oleh orang Islam, pelatih-pelatih etnik Tausug dan Sama ini telah menuntut agar dihantar pulang. Walau bagaimanapun, Pasukan Bersenjata Filipina (AFP – Armed Forces of the Philippines) dikatakan telah menembak mati para pelatih ini. Dilaporkan seramai 11-64 orang telah mati ditembak. Kejadian ini dikenali sebagaiJabidah Massacre (Pembunuhan Jabidah) atau Corregidor Massacre(Pembunuhan Corregidor).

William Larousse10, Michael Leifer11, Andrew T. H. Tan12 dan Alfred W. McCoy13 adalah antara para penulis yang telah melaporkan kejadian ini.

11. Apakah Peluang Filipina Untuk Menuntut Sabah Sekiranya Kes Ini Dibawa Ke Mahkamah Keadilan Antarabangsa (ICJ)?

Tipis.

Pertama, kerana waris Sultan Sulu telah menerima ‘cession money‘ sehingga ke hari ini. Ini bermakna waris Sultan Sulu mengakui bahawa Sabah telah diserah (ceded), dan bukannya dipajak (leased), kepada British North Borneo Company.

Kedua, kerana Kerajaan Filipina telah berhenti mengiktiraf Sultan Sulu sejak kemangkatan Sultan Mohd. Mahakuttah A. Kiram pada tahun 1986.

Geran pajakan yang dijadikan sumber konflik telah ditandatangani oleh Sultan Sulu, Sultan Jamalul A’lam dengan Gustavus Baron de Overbeck serta Alfred Dent, yang mewakili British North Borneo Company, pada 22 Januari 1878.

Ketiga, geran pajakan yang ditandatangani antara British North Borneo Company dan Kesultanan Sulu itu telah diatasi oleh Protokol Madrid 1885.

Sepanyol, yang menguasai wilayah-wilayah Kesultanan Sulu ketika itu, telah menandatangani perjanjian dengan Jerman dan Great Britain pada 7 Mac 1885 untuk melepaskan segala tuntutan terhadap kedaulatan Sabah:

Article 3

The Spanish Government relinquishes as far as regards the British Government, all claim of sovereignty over the territories of the continent of Borneo which belong, or which have belonged in the past, to the Sultan of Sulu (Jolo), including therein the neighboring islands of Balambangan, Banguey and Malawali, as well as all those islands lying within a zone of three marine leagues along the coasts and which form part of the territories administered by the Company styled the ‘British North Borneo Company’.
(Kerajaan Sepanyol melepaskan kepada Kerajaan British, semua tuntutan kedaulatan ke atas wilayah-wilayah benua Borneo yang dimiliki, atau yang telah dimiliki pada masa lampau, oleh Sultan Sulu (Jolo), termasuk pulau-pulau Balambangan, Banguey dan Malawali yang berhampiran, dan semua pulau-pulau yang berada di dalam zon tiga liga marin di sepanjang pesisir pantai dan membentuk sebahagian wilayah yang ditadbir oleh Syarikat yang digelar ‘British North Borneo Company‘.)14

Keempat, Kesultanan Sulu dianggap telah tamat sebaik sahaja Sultan Jamalul Kiram II menandatangani Perjanjian Carpenter pada 22 Mac 1915, yang menyerahkan segala kuasa politik beliau kepada Amerika Syarikat.

Kelima, kerajaan Malaysia telah mengambil tanggungjawab untuk membangunkan prasarana bagi kemudahan para penduduk Sabah sejak 1963 tanpa bantahan Kesultanan Sulu mahupun kerajaan Filipina. Ini membuktikan pemilikan dan pentadbiran yang aman secara berterusan oleh kerajaan Malaysia ke atas Sabah. Mengikut dasar effectivites yang diambil kira oleh Mahkamah Keadilan Antarabangsa (ICJ – International Court of Justice), Malaysia boleh dianugerahkan hak ke atas Sabah, sepertimana yang pernah diberikan kepada kerajaan Malaysia dalam kes Ligitan-Sipadan.

Keenam, laporan Suruhanjaya Cobbold yang dikeluarkan pada 1 Ogos 1962 mendapati bahawa 1/3 penduduk Sabah dan Sarawak menyokong kuat pembentukan Malaysia, 1/3 lagi menyokong projek Malaysia dengan syarat hak mereka dilindungi, manakala kumpulan 1/3 yang terakhir terbahagi antara mereka yang mahukan kemerdekaan dan mereka yang mahukan pentadbiran British diteruskan.

Ketujuh, Setiausaha Agung PBB, U Thant, telah melaporkan pada 1963 bahawa penduduk Sabah “ingin menamatkan status kebergantungan mereka dan merealisasikan kemerdekaan mereka melalui penyekutuan yang dipilih secara bebas dengan bangsa lain dalam rantau mereka” (“wish to bring their dependent status to an end and to realize their independence through freely chosen association with other peoples in their region”).15

Kelapan, jika Kesultanan Sulu mendakwa bahawa Sabah adalah milik mereka, maka adalah konsisten bagi Kesultanan Sulu untuk tidak sahaja membuat tuntutan terhadap Sabah semata-mata, malah juga menuntut dan menguasai pusat pentadbiran mereka sendiri di Jolo, selain wilayah Palawan, Semenanjung Zamboanga, Basilan dan Tawi-Tawi di Filipina yang juga mereka dakwa merupakan milik mereka.

Walau bagaimanapun, Kesultanan Sulu tidak memiliki apa-apa kuasa politik terhadap wilayah-wilayah yang terletak di Filipina ini.
