LAHAD DATU INTRUSION IS A CONSPIRACY !!!

Is Lahad Datu Stand off a Conspiracy?

 

The Lahad Datu Stand off is a hot bed of speculations and a battery of conspiracy theories.  The nature of the situation demand that limited information is released to the general public, while these may facilitate the operations of the security forces; it also led to the public uninformed judgments over the issues.  One thing is certain the exchange of political barbs between both sides of the political divide is not resolving the issue.  It confuses the nation especially the people in Sabah in already a muddled situation.

I am not trying to pit the government against the opposition and vice versa, the intention is not to put blame on anyone.  In the absence of a clear explaination for what was the cause of the LahadDatu Standoff, I am just trying to give my take on the situation and hopefully it will clear some air and give some level of comfort to Malaysians who are seeking closure to these episodes.

The political situation in Malaysia is facing a major stalemate, the spectra of a hung parliament in Malaya is very clear.  The Opposition needs Sabah and Sarawak in order to wrestle Putrajaya from the incumbent.  The Opposition may have made some political headway in Sabah but limited to the interiors and none Muslim areas.  The disagreements amongst the Oppositions in Sabah are another factor which makes Pakatan sees Sabah seats are elusive.  Clearly their political inroads in Sabah are not sufficient; there must be a major shift of the voter’s perceptions in order for the Opposition to gain any strong political foothold.

The key to this prize is to break and capture the 32 Muslim seats.  The result of the GE12 (2008) in Sabah is that 32 Muslim Seats (UMNO), 19 Kadazan, Dusuns, Muruts and Rungus (KDMR) seats, and 9 Chinese seats.  The Opposition including PAKATAN, STAR and SAPP are making major headway into the 19 KDMR Seats and the 9 Chinese Seats but none of them make any impact on the 32 Muslim Seats.

A significant number of the voters in the 32 Muslim Seats are made up of the Suluks and other Muslims.  The Suluks are not just made up of the Tausugs but include Ubian, Pelao, Simunul, Yakans etc.  This is where the whole episode becomes more interesting.

The first event was the call for the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI), to investigate for the explosive population growth in Sabah and the issuance of Identity Card (IC) to immigrants.  The obvious victims of this exercise are the Filipinos which are mainly the Suluks.  Some are neutralized citizen of this country, some holds the IMM13, some on work-pass, some holds entry permits but many do not have any form of papers.  Even before the findings of the RCI are formally published, statements made by those called to testify in the RCI it are widely reported.  There are side issues raised and became national debate.  The one good example was the case of issuing Malaysian Citizenship.  Tun Mahathir defended his actions in Sabah by comparing it with what was done by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman in the process of getting independence for Malaya.  Clearly the whole process of the RCI unsettles, creates anxiety and put fear into the Filipinos especially the Suluks.

In a dire situation such as this, a call by “the Sultan” could serve as a rallying call for the Suluk Community in Sabah.  A convergence of the Suluk Community to “the Sultan” standard reinforces his claim as well as strengthens the legitimacy of his claim.  This was perhaps the second stage of the plan.

The third stage of the plan was perhaps the public statements made by one SitiAminah Mahmud in PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya, which implicated TunDatu Mustapha DatuHarun as involved in issuing 500,000 identity cards to these immigrants.  The idea was perhaps, this statement will push the Suluk community further into a corner.  So that they don’t have any choice but to go to “the Sultan” standard and make the Kadazan, Dusun, Muruts and Rungus (KDMR) community happy.

The whole episodes will put the 32 Muslim seats in disarray and get stronger support from the KDMR.  This will surely strengthen and assures that the Seats in Sabah will shift to Pakatan’s favor.  The only problem is that both Anwar and NurMisuarimis-read the sentiments of the people in Sabah and they have no control over the terrorist that they use.  Instead of going the way it was planned, it backfires on them.  Unexpectedly some belligerent, gun toting terrorist who is high on drugs start ambushing, shooting and mutilating our security forces and all hell broke loose.

“The Sultan” start begging the Americans to intervene based on the 1915 Carpenter Agreement, start asking the United Nations to intercede and start shouting about human rights.  A terrorist leader invoking the Geneva Convention when he himself is not representing any sovereignty, did not care about the rules of engagement, did not take any responsibility for the actions of his “army”.

Another possible collateral damage in this episode could be the Vice Prresident of PartiKeadilan Rakyat Tian Chua.  It is no secret that he was in Manila on the 19th February 2013 just one week after terrorist intrude into Sabah.  He claims he was investigating Manuel Amalilion case in Manila.  The problem is that 99% of the victims of this Ponzi scheme lives in Mindanao and the Visayas regions and Manuel’s office and centre of operations was Pagadian City which is 1,113 km from Manila.  Therefore who did they meet in Manila? A CIA Agent there under instruction from Anwar; did they meet up with NurMisuari who still have control over the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF); or did they meet with the terrorist leader JamalulKiram? Is this the reason for him making the fatal statement that what happened in LahadDatu was just a sandiwara by BN/UMNO? Perhaps the reason he made this serious declaration is because he knew something about the intrusion and that it was not supposed to escalate that lives are lost and mutilated, people are displaced and the East Coast of Sabah is becoming a huge prison.

The other perpetrator simply washes their hands off the whole incident, leaving this poor old man and his court to face the music.  The Philippine government wants him to experience Philippine justice while Malaysia government wants him to put to trial under the Malaysia Law.  The other conspirators are scot-free and their political game continues
