Internet disputes, historical claims fuel Sabah conflict
Ancient history and the claims of a would-be sultan have led to a conflict that many Sabah residents find bewildering. A Malaysian news site, meanwhile, reports that arguments on the internet may have played a role in inflaming tempers.

Do something productive. What good can come out of becoming a terrorist. Malaysia will destroy anyone who becomes a terrorist. So stupid.

Whoever rules will definately, of course and by right will act for the benefit of his religion. Mahathir is ISLAM so he has the full right to defend his religion. You critics out there think over and over that the leaders of all nations will and must protect his own religion to what religion he belongs. Open your eyes and brain wide don,t just complain and be influenced by critisim enhanced by passion, lust, short-sightedness, aggresiveness, prejudices, hatred on other religion and without doubt influeced by the havoc, enminity, revenge dan shelfishness environmented by the so called anwarism ideology by it,s ill mannared leader. Let me be strict with all of you influenced and being wash awayed and astrayed by this STORMY CONDITION which will never bring any good to any one and ISLAM IS THE TRUE & RIGHT RELIGION proved when you STUDY ALL THE DEEP ,RRAL @ THROUGH TRUTH OF ISLAM. Make research with an open and kind heart by contacting ZAKI NAYAR the well known wordl wide and modern preacer. Please do not look at some of Muslims who are lazy and easy gooing. Please bear in mind that ISLAM does not propogate terrosim it is apparently against ISLAM. So please do not follow THE TIDE OF DESTRUCTION OF HUMANITY by drowning your self in the modern concept of living without contamplating deeply in your heart and clean soul. Those who do not sacrifice for this and the enemies of ISLAM HAS BEEN PROVED TO MAKE THIS LIFE A "HELL " with greed, selfishness, hatred, insane & wars

If Mahathir Mohamad truly is the mind behind the initiative to grant citizenship to foreigners for political reasons, then he will go down in history as a traitor who has betrayed the people and nation of Malaysia. This act will be seen as a conspiracy by UMNO to eliminate the influence and dominance of PBS in Sabah. It is also difficult to deny that the incident in Lahad Datu is also an UMNO conspiracy to not only garner the sympathy and support of the people of Sabah towards BN, but also making it possible for BN to receive large operational funding for the 2013 General Election, especially in Sabah. The Malaysian people as a whole have seen how the Malaysian government under Najib has approved additional funding of RM 6 billion for national defense following the invasion at Lahad Datu. It is no longer a secret how certain commissions are arranged within government tenders to serve the interests of political party supporters who win or are given the tender. It is the same with weapons and equipment acquisition for the defense force. This sort of thing has become common in the BN government, particularly UMNO for which this is not an issue and its legitimacy is not brought into question. The main issue is who is really behind the initiatives to bring about the incident in Lahad Datu which has allowed BN, UMNO specifically, to acquire large funding through an RM 6 billion tender going into the 2013 General Election.

Where there is smoke there is fire and firewood: Let us get straight to the point, the fire that burns the World Home. Democracy is hell fire from the afterlife. Democracy is organized evil bolstered by funding and power to undermine truth. From prehistory, democracy has been destroying human dignity.

IN THE FIRST PLACE TRAITOR MAHATIR SHOULD CHARGE UNDER NEW ISA FOR SIMPLY GIVING CITIZENSHIP TO THE MUSLIM FROM PHILIPINE I THINK THE PRESENT GOVERMENT SHOULD SETTLE THIS PROBLEM IN WORLD COURT ONCE AND FOREVER BECAUSE WHEN MALAYSIA FOUND OIL OR MINERAL IN THAT AREA I THINK MANY PEOPLE WILL START TO CLAIM SABAR

All are Malaysians (Muslims, Christians, Bhudists, Hindus and other religions). Peace must exist in Malaysia. What Mahathir has done( giving Blue ICs to foreign Muslims in Sabah) is Grossly Wrong. As a PM he cared only for Muslim Malays in the name of UMNO and did not care for Malays of other religions.What do you think of Mahathir who has become one of the filthy rich men in Malaysia through calling himself a Malay and Political Power? What kind of Malay is he? Has he cheated and plundered the people and Malaysia for his own prosperity? Luckily we have a lot of kind and considerate Malays?

The Suluk people are being treated with such respect after being granted citizenship by UMNO/BN because they want to win the general election. People's rights to live are ignored. All this for the desire for power and to become wealthy and respected and feared as kings. Once that happens they become avaricious and greedy. The people and security forces suffer. Really evil! Surely......change.

WHY THE SABAH INTRUDORS 0R SO CALLED MUSLIM TERORIST CAN BE IN SABAH. DESPITE HAVING TIDE SECURITY IN THE SEA & LAND BY THE ARMY. SOME SAY THE RADAR OF THE NAVY HAD BROKEN DOWN BY MAHATHIR & HIS CRONY, HE WAS THE MAIN PERSON WHO INVITED THIS TERORIST.

One of the solution is to suggest Malaysia join the Republic of Indonesia and become one of its provinces rather than continuously claiming territory or culture. Guaranteed safe and peaceful.

Hear me: Please abide the law where ever you are regardless of different religion or nationalities.If you think that Sabah is not a good place, you are all free to go to other countries. Feeling negative and condemning others will not solve the problem. We should be grateful of what is given to us. Count 10 before you think of evil.

Sabah and the islands in the Southern Phillipines have been the land of the Sulu people (the Sulus or Suluks,according to the local slang, are Malays in the general sense, just as Bugis, Javanese, Banjar, Minangkabau, Mandailing, Sunda, Achenese, Champas, Melanaus etc are). When the Spanish marauded the region and the British colonised the mainland (and named it North Borneo), the Sulu Sultanate, almost disintegrated. But their descendants are still around to stake their claims. This is the issue. To a certain extent, the Malaysian authorities recognised this "claim". Otherwise, how could there be political leaders of Sulu origin coming from Sabah serving in the Federal government, since the formation of Malaysia?

The MNLF proven to be very violent not only against the Malaysian Police but also against the Phillipine ruling government. They are a group of people well trained with guns and modern weapons kidnapping, ransom and demand for authourity. Who trained them and which country finance their struggle? At one time Libya was well known for this kind of assistance. and proven a big issue among the people of Phillipines. During Mahathir era many Sulok were given identity card and rights to vote to strenghten the UMNO ruling party of Malaysia which predominantly are Muslims to outnumbered the Christians in Sabah.It is estimated close to one million became overnight citizen of Malaysia with PM Najib establish RCI and threaten Mahathir wrongdoing. As a result, fighting started until today.
