All politicians and party leaders must be very patriotic to their country.

Our leaders must be proud, respect and thankful to our fallen heroes and our security forces who are defending our country against the Sulu intruders.

Instead, when commenting on this matter, PKR’s vice-president Tian Chua tweeted, it’s just a continuous “wag of dog ” drama…

How unpatriotic …

I wonder if PKR’s ally party, PAS shares the same idea with Tian Chua?

Did Anwar Know About Sulu’s Attack Since 3 Months Ago?

Today AIDC embeded this video.

As lots of other bloggers, AIDC asked if Anwar Ibrahim knew about the attack on Sabah by the Sulu intruders three months before it happened?

LAHAD DATU: Najib Announces Attack On Intruders

(NST) Below is the statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on the Lahad Datu incident.

Since the intrusion by a group of gunmen in Lahad Datu on Feb 12, the government has taken an approach to resolve the conflict without any bloodshed.

The police have arranged for meetings and discussions hoping that the intruders would agree to leave peacefully without facing serious action.

However, as the intrusion prolonged, it was clear that the intruders had no intention to leave Sabah. Last Friday, they fired shots at policemen on duty causing the deaths of two officers and one day later, another six policemen were killed by intruders in Semporna.

After the first attack, I have reaffirmed that the intruders must surrender or we will act.

As an Islamic country that loves peace and uphold the struggle to end conflicts through negotiations, our effort to prevent bloodshed in Lahad Datu failed. Our security forces were attacked and our men killed. Malaysians, especially in Sabah, are worried for their safety.

The government must take action to defend the country’s dignity and sovereignty as demanded by the people.

At 7 a.m. this morning, our security forces have launched an attack (on the intruders) in Kampung Tanduo.
