Malaysia refused to ceasefire as proposal by a militant group of Filipino occupants fighting for control of Sabah, a resource-rich area on the island of Borneo. PM Najib Razak urged the Filipino interlopers to surrender categorically.
The group’s self-proclaimed sultan, Jamalul Kiram, proposed the Malaysian government to ceasefire and restore peace. Earlier in the day, Kiram announced a one-sided ceasefire and requested Malaysian forcers to reciprocate.
“We want the militants to unconditionally surrender and hand over their weapons,” Najib told journalists at the Felda Sahabat palm oil plantation in Sabah.
Aiming to end the weeks’ long standoff with Filipino occupants, Malaysian military attacked the 300 intruders on Tuesday. Military jet fighters played a significant role in scaring off the interlopers who claimed to sacrifice their lives while fighting for their inherent right.
Malaysian Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said no injuries occurred among Malaysian police and military personnel who went in to raid houses near palm oil plantations there.
“On the enemy’s side, we have to wait because the operation is ongoing. We have to be careful,” he said.
On the other hand, Philippine President Benigno Aquino’s spokesman, Ricky Carandang, holds the interlopers responsible for the assault.
“We’ve done everything we could to prevent this, but in the end, Kiram’s people chose this path,” said Carandang.
