-SIAKAP SENOHONG, GELAMA IKAN DURI, BERCAKAP BOHONG LAMA-LAMA ORANG DAH TAK CAYA LAGI! KEKEKE!!!-

Tindakan Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim mendakwa kenyataan laporan Reuters yang mendakwa pencerobohan 150 orang di Lahad Datu adalah atas jemputan pihak pembangkang Malaysia datangnya daripada Umno dan bukannya Reuters sungguh tidak masuk akal dan menunjukkan dia betul-betul "tersepit"!

“Itu kenyataan Umno bukan Reuters, siapa yang beritahu? Itu Umno punya,” katanya dipetik akhbar Sinar Harian selepas majlis perasmian Institut Rakyat di sini, semalam ketika diminta mengulas lanjut berhubung perkara itu namun beliau enggan memberikan apa-apa komen lagi.

Memetik laporan Reuters bertarikh 14 Februari lalu, laporan itu mendakwa kumpulan diketuai Raja Muda Sulu, Raja Muda Azzimudie Kiram datang ke Sabah atas jemputan pihak pembangkang bagi bincangkan isu tanah.

Pembaca bacalah sendiri bagaimana "UMNO telah mempergaruhi Reuters" untuk laporan insiden pencerobohan Lahad Datu:

(Reuters)- Malaysian security forces have surrounded about 100 armed men believed to be from a breakaway rebel faction in the southern Philippines, Malaysian police and a government official said on Thursday, but a Philippine official said they were unarmed Filipinos who had been promised land.

The standoff in Malaysia's eastern Sabah state on Borneo island threatened to stir tension between the Southeast Asian neighbors whose ties have been periodically frayed by security and migration problems caused by a porous sea border.

"Our firepower is more than enough to arrest them but the government has chosen to negotiate with them so they leave peacefully to return to the south of the Philippines," Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, on a visit to Sabah ahead of national elections, was quoted as saying by state-run Bernama news agency.

Malaysian police said in a statement the situation was under control, but did not say whether the men had agreed with a request to surrender.

A high-ranking Malaysian government source with direct knowledge of the situation told Reuters the gunmen were suspected to be from a faction unhappy with the Philippines' recent peace deal with the main Muslim rebel group.

Raul Hernandez, a spokesman for the Philippine Foreign Ministry, said his government was trying to get information about the incident and was in touch with Malaysian officials.

A senior Philippine military official said navy boats and an aircraft had been sent to the border area. He dismissed the Malaysian account of the group, saying they were unarmed Filipinos who had been promised land in Sabah.

He said a meeting over the land claim had attracted a large crowd and drawn the attention of Malaysian authorities.

"We know that these people arrived there five days ago and most of them are from nearby islands," said the official, who asked not to be identified.

"Some of them were already residents in Sabah for a long time and they normally cross the border without any problem."

Another Philippine military officer said the men were followers of the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu - an island group off the southern Philippines - who had been invited to Sabah by a Malaysian opposition politician to discuss land issues.

Malaysia pays a token amount to the Sultanate each year for the "rental" of Sabah state - an arrangement that stretches back to British colonial times.

The number of illegal Muslim immigrants from the impoverished southern Philippines has surged in recent decades, stirring social tension with indigenous Christian inhabitants in Sabah.

The Philippine government signed a landmark peace deal with Muslim rebels late last year to end a 40-year conflict in the south, but some factions have voiced opposition.

In 2000, a group of militants from the southern Philippines kidnapped 21 tourists from the Sabah diving resort of Sipadan. In 1985, 11 people were killed when gunmen believed to be from the southern Philippines entered Lahad Datu in Sabah, shooting at random before robbing a bank.
