NEVER in the history of
world have we seen even any dethroned royalty trying to get back their former
kingdom by force and to eliminate the ballot box in the process.
The so-called Sulu Sultan is
a world first in a category by itself. His story will be recorded in the Annals
of Arch Villains in History or Great Criminal Masterminds in World History.
The so-called Sulu Sultan
should stop saying that Sabah belongs to him. It's an insane claim. His dynasty
never "owned" it in the first place. He misled, misrepresented and
defrauded the British North Borneo Chartered Company. The Orang Asal of Sabah
were there first and under Native Customary Right (NCR) in Adat the country
belongs to them.
If the so-called Sulu Sultan
persists in his despotic foolishness, the people of Sabah, the Orang Asal in
particular, would have to launch a "People's Democratic Revolution"
to decapitate him and his entire family and relatives as enemies of the state,
as well as eliminate the 60-odd other pretenders to the Sulu Sultanship and
their families and relatives. This would end the defunct Sulu Sultanate once
and for all and bury it for good.
The tragedy that befell the
last Tsar of Russia and his family during the 1917 Revolution and earlier the
Emperor during the French Revolution and the Shah of Iran, not so long ago,
must be kept in mind.
The Philippines Government
and Nur Misuari of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) should stop trying
to encourage the Sulu Sultan to persist in his foolishness.
It's strange the Philippines
President, Aquino, is keeping mum on the so-called Sulu Sultan launching his
so-called Royal Sulu Army in defiance of the laws of the Philippines Republic
and its Constitution.
Aquino is also pretending to
be deaf, dumb and blind to the fact that the so-called Royal Sulu Army is
composed of MNLF fighters. Weren't these people supposed to disarm and their
weapons turned in and destroyed when the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao
(ARMM) was created under the 1st Peace Accord in the southern Philippines?
What is Aquino going to do
about Nur Misuari's Act of Treason against the Philippines Republic on the
question of maintaining the MNLF fighters in secret and waging an undeclared
war against Sabah?
He should extradite Nur
Misuari and the so-called Sulu Sultan to Sabah to be tried and hanged in
public. That would spare the so-called Sulu Sultan's family and relatives and
the other 60-odd pretenders to the Sulu Sultanship and their families and
relatives.
Misuari is delusional
following the recent peace process reached between Manila and the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) facilitated by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul
Razak. How many times does Misuari want to be part of the peace process? Does
he think that the southern Philippines is his family's ancestral property?
If Aquino wants to help the
people of Sabah, especially the Orang Asal who are largely Christians like him,
it's incumbent upon him to remind Putrajaya and point out to the world that no
Referendum was ever held in Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Malaya on Malaysia. The
Sovereignty of Sabah was never transferred to Malaysia, just as it was never transferred
to Brunei, Sulu, Spain, Britain, or the Philippines for that matter. The
Sovereignty of Sabah resides with its people.
To digress a little, he
should also tell his bosom pal Najib that the Christians hold the original
copyright on Allah. This attribute of God is the intellectual property right of
the Christians.
