Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman said the security forces were in full control of the situation in Lahad Datu.
“As
chairman of the State Security Committee, I am confident that the
relevant authorities are on top of the situation,” he said.
The Chief
Minister said this was the result of coordinated efforts among the
police, the military and the marine coast guard, who have shown a high
degree of professionalism and discipline.
“In the last few days, we
have seen how the authorities, especially the police, have exercised
great restraint in dealing with the foreign intruders in Kampung
Tanduo,” he said.
He added the restraint was not a sign of weakness but rather a deeper understanding of the complexity of the issue.
Musa,
however, urged the foreign intruders to return to their homeland to
avoid any untoward incident, including bloodshed, in the event that the
Malaysian security forces have to take action.
“They must realise
that they have clearly breached international laws and Malaysia’s
sovereignty. What is at stake here is our sovereignty and rights, which
will not be compromised,” he said.
“Once again, I appeal to the
intruders to be rational and give up the futile attempt and return to
their homeland peacefully,” he said.
