JOINT STATEMENT of MALAYSIAN-PHILIPPINE Csos Standoff in Lahad Datu : Engage in Dialogue Now with All Stakeholders to Resolve the Crisis Peacefully March 8, 2013 JOINT STATEMENT OF MALAYSIAN-PHILIPPINE CSOs Standoff in Lahad Datu : Engage in Dialogue Now with all stakeholders to resolve the crisis peacefully March 8, 2013 We the undersigned Civil Society organisations (CSOs) from Malaysia and Philippines are extremely concerned over the on-going standoff between the Malaysian security forces and followers of the Sultanate of Sulu’s heirs, Jamalul Kiram III at Lahad Datu, Sabah. We the CSOs, together with all individuals, organizations and networks, urgently call upon President Benigno S. Aquino III of the Philippines, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak of Malaysia and Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, to disavow all forms of violence, and instead support dialogue as the primary mechanism for a resolution to the siege. We are very concerned and worried about the security of civilians in Lahad Datu, Semporna and the surrounding villages and we would like to see a peaceful solution to resolve this ongoing problem. According to media reports, at least sixty (60) people have been killed in Lahad Datu, Semporna and Kampung Tanduo, Sabah. We believe the situation in Lahad Datu requires swift and peaceful intervention. We urge all parties to resist from using force while remaining committed to dialogue and negotiation throughout this process. We are also very concerned with the lack of real-time information with respect to what has actually taken place so far in Lahad Datu. Up to this point the information received through the Malaysian news media lacks transparency and created unnecessary rumours and assumptions about the situation. The people have the right to get the information on on-going issues in Sabah. In this context, we call on the governments of Malaysia and Philippines and the Sultanate of Sulu to: Immediately declare a HUMANITARIAN CEASEFIRE so that agencies concerned can take immediate measures to ensure the safety of women, children, elderly and other vulnerable persons in the affected area. And provide “safe zones” where humanitarian organizations and relevant agencies can install facilities to be accessed by those who are injured and require immediate medical care; Take immediate steps to end the use of violence and to engage in dialogue with all stakeholders to resolve the crisis peacefully. Take proper measures to ensure that in the process of resolving the crisis, the human rights of everyone involved are respected and protected especially civilians from Lahad Datu, Semporna and nearby villages; Take immediate measures to secure the safety of journalists who chose to access the area at all times to ensure fair reporting and dissemination of information to the general public; Cease and desist from using excessive force and armed violence to end the prevailing conflict. Initiate an independent and impartial investigation into the killings that has taken place and make the findings of the investigation public. We fervently dissuade all the principals involved from brinkmanship by instead living up to your respective legacies as genuine leaders of your people with honor and dignity. We urge you to come to terms with the unfolding of events that has serious implications on many lives and social institutions. We all can’t afford that this will escalate into a grave humanitarian crisis spilling over into other nearby villages aside from Lahad Datu and Semporna, Sabah. Time is of the essence. The world is looking at you, now.

    Akademika 87(3), Oktober 2017:17-31 https://doi.org/10.17576/akad-2017-8703-02 Aktor Bukan Negara dan Keselamatan Nasional di Malaysia: Tentera Diraja Sulu dan Pencerobohan Lahad Datu, 2013 Non-State Actor and National Security in Malaysia: The Royal Sulu Army and the Lahad Datu Intrusion, 2013 Ramli Dollah & Zainus Sagi Khusyairy Pangkas ABSTRAK Sejak mencapai kemerdekaan, Malaysia berhadapan beberapa bentuk ancaman keselamatan seperti ancaman Komunis, konfrontasi Indonesia, tuntutan Filipina ke atas Sabah dan sebagainya. Namun, era pasca Perang Dingin berlaku perubahan dalam memahami keselamatan di mana ancaman keselamatan nasional banyak disumbangkan oleh aktor-aktor bukan negara, misalnya kumpulan pengganas. Oleh itu, makalah ini membincangkan mengenai insiden pencerobohan oleh kumpulan yang dikenali sebagai Tentera Diraja Sulu (RSA) di Tanduo pada 2013. Pencerobohan ini memberikan gambaran bahawa aktor bukan negara juga mampu memberikan ancaman keselamatan yang sangat besar kepada keselamatan nasional. Malahan insiden ini menunjukkan bahawa ancaman yang ditimbulkan oleh kumpulan ini adalah lebih besar daripada ancaman yang ditimbulkan oleh elemen-elemen keselamatan tradisional yang menekankan kepentingan aktor negara dan penggunaan ketenteraan oleh negara lain seperti yang difahami dalam kajian keselamatan. Dalam menjelaskan bagaimana ancaman ini dilihat sebagai salah satu ancaman yang serius kepada keselamatan negara, beberapa indikator akan digunakan; pertama, cara kerajaan bertindak menangani ancaman ini; kedua, jumlah kematian yang disebabkan oleh RSA; ketiga, panik dan ketakutan dalam kalangan pasukan keselamatan dan masyarakat; dan keempat, jumlah wang yang diperuntukkan untuk menangani masalah ini. Artikel ini berhujah bahawa ancaman yang ditimbulkan oleh kumpulan ini menunjukkan dengan jelas bagaimana aktor bukan negara juga memberikan implikasi yang besar kepada keselamatan nasional di Malaysia.

  • The Securitization of Sabah's Threat Challenges
    International Journal of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 4 Issue 2 ǁ February 2019. www.ijahss.com The Securitization of Sabah’s Threat Challenges SuhailiAbdul Rahman Kamarulnizam Abdullah (PhD candidate, Ghazali Shafie Graduate School (School of International Studies, of Government, Universiti Utara Malaysia) UniversitiUtara Malaysia) ABSTRACT: One of the salient characteristics of developing countries’ security is that threats not only drivenby the externalbut also internal sources. Furthermore, security in these developing countries has always being perceived and defined from the state’s perspective.But, since the end of the Cold War, threats to security have affected the whole structure of the system, be it state, society, or individual. Security, therefore, needs to be looked at from comprehensive angle. Hence, by using the National security theory of developing countries and Securitization theory as the basis for discussion, the article explores and discusses how state and its society manage their threats. Furthermore, this paper analyses how Malaysia manages it security threat. Sabah, one of the states in the Federation of Malaysia, is used as a case study on how Malaysia has managed its security predicaments. Managing security threats in Sabah has been influenced by several variables such as local political influences, federal-state relations, and societal understanding of national identity. The article concludes that Sabah’s security threats have been securitized by local political and community leaders. But, the successes of securitizing the threats depend on how security actors at the federal level are convinced with the omnipresent threats. KEYWORDS: Malaysia, national security, Sabah, sectoral security, securitization. I. Introduction Since the Treaty of Westphalian 1648, the concepts of sovereignty, territorial integrity, border, regime and political survival have become an integral part of state‟s security management.

  • LAHAD DATU, Thurs
    PRESS RELEASE LAHAD DATU, Thurs. (Sept 19, 2013) -- Lahad Datu is back to normal due to enhanced security after a terrorist intrusion in a faraway village earlier this year, said a top government official. “Lahad Datu is safe and sound, and has been so for a while (since the intrusion) … in fact it is safer today because of enhanced presence of security personnel on shore and at sea,” said Datuk Mohammad Mentek, the Director- General of Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM). “The east coast of Sabah is very safe.” He gave the assurance during a briefing for about 50 businessmen, mainly investors in the Lahad Datu Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (POIC Lahad Datu) at a hotel here yesterday. The briefing was organized by POIC Sabah Sdn Bhd, the developer of POIC Lahad Datu. Present were POIC Sabah Chairman Datuk (Datu) Nasrun Bin Datu Mansur and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer Datuk Dr. Pang Teck Wai. ESSCOM was formed in April this year after terrorists from the southern Philippines attacked Kg Tanduo, a village about 150 km from here. It is a unit under the Prime Minister’s Department. It has its headquarters in Lahad Datu and its officers are divided into five divisions and comprise high-ranking officers from the police, navy, armed forces and coast guards. ESSCOM’s area covers 10 districts and more than 1,700 kilometres of coastline from Kudat to Semporna and some 480 islands. Mentek described the Kg Tanduo incident as a wake-up call insofar as strengthening security against armed intrusion was concerned.

In spite of the various steps and measures undertaken under ESSCOM cross-border incidences have continued, fueling growing consternation among the public-at-large.

  • Memelihara Keselamatan Negara Malaysia: Peristiwa Lahad Datu, Sabah Safeguarding Malaysia's National Security
    GEOGRAFIA Online TM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 12 issue 7 (147 - 159) 147 © 2016, ISSN 2180-2491 Memelihara keselamatan Negara Malaysia: Peristiwa Lahad Datu, Sabah Zarina Othman 1, Mohd Kamal Omar 1, Firdaus Abdul Jabar 2, Nor Azizan Idris 1 1Pusat Pengajian Sejarah, Politik dan Strategi, Fakulti Sains Sosial dan Kemanusiaan, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 2Institut Kajian Malaysia dan Antarabangsa (IKMAS), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Correspondence: Mohd Kamal Omar (email: [email protected]) Abstrak Pilihan raya adalah salah satu kriteria bagi negara demokrasi. Malaysia adalah sebuah negara demokrasi semenjak mencapai kemerdekaan pada tahun 1957. Seperti kebanyakan negara baharu yang sedang membangun, perjalanan Malaysia menuju demokrasi penuh dengan cabaran memelihara keselamatan negara. Pasca pilhanraya ketiga, 1969, menyaksikan peristiwa berdarah 13 Mei, sementara pra pilihanraya ke-13 pula telah mengejutkan negara apabila sekumpulan angkatan bersenjata menceroboh Lahad Datu, Sabah, pada 9 Februari 2013. Lebih kurang sembilan orang dari pihak berkuasa dan enam rakyat awam yang terkorban dalam kejadian berdarah tersebut. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisa bagaimanakah peristiwa Lahad Datu memberi impak terhadap keselamatan negara Malaysia. Kajian ini menghujahkan lokasi geostrategik dan geofizikal Sabah, ketidakcukupan anggota keselamatan dan juga ancaman dari Jamalul Kiram III Sultan Sulu berketurunan Suluk yang tidak diiktiraf, adalah antara faktor peristiwa Lahad Datu. Ekoran dari kejadian tersebut, Kawasan Keselamatan Khas Pantai Timur Sabah (ESSCOM) telah diwjudkan untuk memelihara keselamatan sempadan Malaysia Timur. Begitu juga isu domestik seperti pendatang asing, ancaman maritim dan tuntutan bertindih, masih menjadi isu. Peristiwa dan isu ini menunjukkan kajian ke atas Sabah semakin penting dan memerlukan perhatian kerana kepelbagaian isu domestik yang belum selesai.

  • ABSTRACT the Bajau Laut Or Sea Bajau Or Also Often Referred to with the Derogatory Label Palauh by Other Communities, Are Known
    Jurnal Kinabalu Bil. 26(2), 183-196, Disember 2020 E-ISSN 2600-867X© Wan Shawaluddin Wan Hassan & Diana Peters THE VULNERABILITY OF BAJAU LAUT AS STATELESS PEOPLE IN SABAH WAN SHAWALUDDIN WAN HASSAN1 DIANA PETERS2 1&2Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. [email protected] Date Received: 16 July 2020 / Date Accepted: 10 October 2020 ABSTRACT The Bajau Laut or Sea Bajau or also often referred to with the derogatory label Palauh by other communities, are known to be living within their ancestral domain of the Sulu and the Celebes Seas or the Sulu- Semporna-South Sulawesi Triangle. During the pre-British period, their mobility around this region was well established as part of their civilization and was not an issue with other peoples in the land-based territories. However, the legal status of the Bajau Laut became problematic when citizenship and territories were formalized by the emergence of the nation- states of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. In the case of the Bajau Laut population located on the Malaysian side of Sabah, the dynamics of their own internal development has become more complicated. In Sabah, there are three groups of Bajau: The West Coast Bajau, the various groups of East Coast Bajau and the Bajau Laut who can be found along Sabah’s east coast, and around the islands off of Semporna. These three groups can be differentiated by their language and dialects, as well as livelihood, status in life, education, community structure and their general worldviews. The West Coast Bajau and the East Coast Bajau have slowly integrated themselves into the Malaysian society, while the Bajau Laut continues their semi- nomadic life at sea and are generally regarded as stateless by the Malaysian Government.
