Malaysia's army chief says a soldier and three Filipino gunmen have been killed in the latest clash over a Philippine Muslim clan's incursion into Borneo.

Security forces have waged several gunbattles since March 1 against about 200 Filipinos who began occupying a coastal village last month to revive a long-dormant territorial claim to Malaysia's eastern Sabah state in Borneo.

Airstrikes and mortar attacks drove the Filipinos out of the village last week, but many are believed to be hiding in nearby palm oil plantations.

Armed forces chief Zulkifeli Zin said a firefight left one soldier and three Filipinos dead Tuesday morning.

Malaysian authorities have reported nearly 60 Filipino casualties and eight police deaths in Sabah this month. Authorities say the clansmen must surrender unconditionally and face prosecution.

Less than 300 Filipinos are causing the Malaysians grief. I wonder what would have happened if the Filipinos opened the spigot and let loose the thousands of veteran militants on Malaysia.

Then there is war.

That is just so sad but that’s a fact. They prospered at the expense of their neighbors to protect their interest. Now they will also suffer and bleed slowly. They trained those fighters to fight our Government and now they are calling them terrorist. Karma really goes by.

I agree that they should let diplomacy take over and settle the matter with a peace pipe, not the barrel of a gun. It's just a shame that such treachery by the Brits and Malaysia has lasted for decades. We were so keen on fighting our territorial rights in the West Phil. Sea, yet we can't even make a stand on our sovereign rights in Sabah. That’s why I can't also blame them if they made their own move to re-establish our country's claim over Sabah. Well I just hope they’ll find a way to end this soon.

He's trying hard for control of Sabah. But I think it's too late, since Malaysian forces have surrounded Kiram and his followers.

Sabah situation may affect Team PNoy bets' chances in poll


MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Sergio Osmeña III said Thursday that President Benigno Aquino III's handling of the Sabah situation may affect the standing of the administration’s senatorial candidates.

Osmeña cited the Sabah issue as an example when asked on the ratio of senators coming from the Liberal Party coalition and the United Nationalist Alliance.

“For example, the Sabah issue. If that’s mishandled or it turns out badly, it could affect the entire complexion of the election campaign,” said Osmeña, who was a major key player in the victory of President Aquino in 2010.

Osmeña, who admitted advising senatorial bets Bam Aquino and Grace Poe in the campaign, noted that surveys cannot give a person an accurate description of the results of the elections “two months from today.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Loren Legarda on Thursday called on the government to do everything in its capacity to prevent the occurrence of a humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing conflict in Sabah.

Legarda, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, also urged the administration to ask call for help from humanitarian organizations such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

“As our government is trying to provide humanitarian and consular assistance to Filipinos involved and are caught in the conflict in Sabah, many of those who have voluntarily evacuated from Sabah are proceeding to Sulu, Tawi-Tawi or Basilan, and with the influx of evacuees, there is a greater need for food, water, and temporary shelter,” she said.

“To prevent a humanitarian crisis, it would be prudent to seek assistance from the IFRC not only for those who are already in the country but also for the Filipinos who remain in Sabah. This we must do without abandoning reports of inhumane treatment of Filipinos in Sabah because these allegations need to be immediately verified by our government and action should be undertaken to put the alleged atrocities under check,” Legarda said.

Another senatorial candidate, Bro. Eddie Villanueva, slammed the Malaysian government for continuously denying access to Filipinos arrested by Malaysian forces as a result of the ongoing situation in Sabah.

Villanueva also criticized Philippine government officials for placing conditions in helping Filipinos coming from Sabah.

Villanueva said he sympathizes with Filipinos now detained in Malaysia over suspicions that they belong to or sympathize with the group that occupied a village in Lahad Datu and sparked a standoff with Malaysian authorities.

Malaysia facing foreign-policy 'blowback'
Malaysia facing foreign-policy 'blowback' - YouTube
The former head of a Philippine separatist group, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), has told Al Jazeera that despite support from Malaysia in the 1960s, some of his fighters have now turned against the Malaysian government. According to Nur Misuari, the MNLF fighters have joined the Royal Army of Sulu, which has been fighting for control of Malaysia's eastern Sabah state. Al Jazeera's Jamela Alindogan reports from the Philippine capital, Manila, on whether Malaysia's foreign policy in the 1960s has backfired.
 
. .
Sulu intrusion into Sabah may be ended as a good thing for the local Malaysians, for past 4 to 5 decades Philippinos come and go whenever they like, robbed local banks and kidnap locals and foreign tourists for ransoms. Now that a special security zone has been set up under direct rule of Ministry of Defence, more ships and helicopters sent for enforcement of marine vessel movements, sea traffic will be monitor and check for illegal intrusions.

Sabah will be a safer place with enhanced maritime patrols, armed intruders will be intercepted at sea before they can cause havoc on land.

Update: 62 Sulu gunmen had been killed, the rest will be hunted down soon since the encirclement is getting smaller.
