Malaysians in Sabah are very concerned about the fate of two fellow Malaysians who were abducted off Semporna Coast, now three weeks passed without any new development.
Sabahans in particular, are equally concerned about the statement made by the Sabah Commissioner of Police Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim. So far it has been a kind of uncertainty in people’s mind not just about the missing of two Sabahans but the way the police authority is handling the issue in Sabah with regard to pirates.
According to media report, the two Sabahans on 7th January, the manager and the supervisor of seaweed farm were abducted at night at their seaweed farm in Pulau Sebangkat about 8 km off Samporna coast.
Datuk Noor Rashid mentioned that the abductors were using riffles and machete, and escaped using a pump boat.
A pump boat is a small light boat, predominantly used by Filipinos in this part of the region (see pictures above)
In his statement on January 11th, Datuk Noor Rashid said, the abductors were still in Sabah.
He also mentioned all exist points have been sealed off and surrounded by police and other agencies, such as-Royal Malaysian Police, Malaysian Navy and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agencies.
Was informed that unlikely for the abductors to escape. He is also of the opinion that the abductors could be local whose interest was purely for money.
Earlier before the incident there was a commotion among the workers over their wages, and that could be the reason of abduction. God knows!
As such the abductors aren’t belonging to any terrorist group like Abu Sayyaf of southern Philippines.
What can we make out of the Sabah Commissioner Police statement so far?
To me this is very understatement by the Sabah Commissioner of Police, Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim. He is portraying to the general public in Malaysia that the incident is a small and trivial, for example, using riffles and machete is not typical of pirates of Abu Sayyaf members.
The impression; this is not a serious incident.
Since the abductors aren’t using an automatic weapons it means a petty criminal, and the abductors are local.
With regard to using pump boat Datuk Noor Rashid must be mistaken as to its efficiency both in deep as well as in shallow water. Ask any one who are familiar with this look like flying skate-boat, in fact very capable in crossing Sulu Sea with little difficulty.
My rebuttal to this statement is that the abductors aren’t Sabahans, this is because Sabahans aren’t allowed by the authority for sometime now to use pump boat of this kind.
We Sabahans still think that the abductors are Filipinos from the Southern notorious region of Philippines.
It is hard to imagine the logic that the Sabah police and other enforcement agencies could seal off all the exit points of 1,500 km coastal area of Sabah East Coast. If in fact police and other agencies could seal all exist points why can’t they stop the inflow of illegal immigrants from coming in to the country when they could use the same method.
It is also in everyone’s knowledge that our marine aren’t that efficient in responding to incident of this kind due to logistic problem, assuming that the marine boat is docked in Tawau at that time, imagine again how long it takes to reach Semporna? By the time the Marine Police reaches Semporna’s coast the abductors are already having their barbeque somewhere in Philippines.
According my friend, a senior retired police officer recently that statement by the Sabah Police Chief was unconvincing to the police let alone to the people who are familiar with situation in Sabah East Coast.
It’s unlikely the police will catch the pirates using pump boat after lapsing of two hours for the reason I mentioned above.
With reference to Marine boat again, according to my source, it’s only about 50%-60% of Marine boats are serviceable in the State. It’s poorly financed.
Our Sabah police have not been very successful in catching or prosecuting many pirates in the past in the State; I wouldn’t think this one is so different?
There is also no logic for the abductors to stay put in Sabah knowing they could reach the nearest safe heaven in less than two hours.
Among the problems, according to my friend, the police personnel from Peninsula who are posted in Sabah are less familiar and knowledgeable with the people in this area compare with Sabahans. Yet when talking about distribution of senior police officers, of all seven Departments of PDRM in Sabah only one Department is headed by a Sabahan. Of all the twenty District Chiefs, only four are headed by Sabahans, chances are no Sabahans headed any district in Peninsula.
Not to undermine or be little our Police ability to policing Sabah’s water in the East Coast, in my view even identifying who are Malaysians and who are not can be a problem, to go further they have now to identify among those lookalike who are the pirates and who are not. It’s an intricate subject.

Saya amat bersetuju dgn komen anda semua mengenai kes ini. Orang Semenanjung kena buktikan yang mereka ini sangat pandai daripada orang Sabah. Saya cabar mereka tangkap kesemua lanun yang terlibat dan dakwa di Mahkamah sehingga dihukum. Kalau gagal, ini menunjukkan mereka hanya pandai cakap besar, tetapi tak pandai buat kerja.

“…He is also of the opinion that the abductors could be local whose interest was purely for money.”
So what difference does it make if the “kidnappers” and the “kidnapped” are from the Southern Phillipines? In Eastern Sabah, especially in Semporna, all of them are “locals” thanks to mamakthir project IC. And true to Southern Phillipines style of justice, most disputes are settled with guns and knives.
Total banned of Pump boats in Sabah? Now that Sabah Commissioner of Police is either lying through his teeth or he absolutely has no idea the going-ons of the Philippinoe communities. I think it’s the later!

While the Sabah Commissioner of Police, Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim goes around telling everyone who wants to listen…that the abductors are locals…his men on the GROUND tells everyone who wants to know… that…. this is the works of the Fillipino’s and they are all back in the southern Philippines Islands on the SAME night.
Now….who would you want to believe?…the guy who sits in his air-con office or the guys who sit under the hot sun watching over our large coast line.?..No brains for guessing your answer.
Yet this guy has got the guts to lie when he says he has..” seal off all the exit points of 1,500 km coastal area of Sabah East Coast.”
Shit man…my neighbour’s maid [no documents] just came back from there last 2 weeks with NO PROBLEMS.
LIAR.

I can see a lot of excitements and merrymakings,it is as if a kind of celebrations and joy in this subject when we should be sharing our sorrows and sympathies with the victims families.Reading through the comments made I can feel that some are just thrilled by what had happened that they even used ‘teasing language’ at one another that are full of sarcasms.
My personal opinion is we should not aggravate the situations of the victims by posting speculations as by doing such will only endanger the security and lives of the victims.
The government though being silent about this matter is doing I think their best to find solutions.It is just that under the circumstances government normally does not publicise its findings and negotiations,if any to the public for security reasons.The basic application under such situation is less talk because the government is fully aware that whatever it says or do will be picked up by the abductors who may be are well equiped with the latest communications tools just like the pirates of Somalia.
So again just keep our cool,cross our fingers and pray together with the families of the victims for their safe returns.
To some of you who wrote like ‘orang kampung,Pengait,Orang Bunian,Musang Berjanggut’just stop your silly ‘antics’ as this is no laughing matters but involves the lives of our citizens.Just imagine how heartbroken the families are when you can still crack cunning and sarcastic jokes under the present circumstances.Are you humans?

Hi, Pengait, Orang Bunian dan Musang Berjanggut, nmpak tu, macam lah si kenwang ini pandai sangat menangani masalah ini sampai tanya kita macam tu. Kita faham juga perasaan keluarga mangsa dalam musibah ini dan tak pernah pun ada niat untuk menambah penderitaan mereka. Kita hanya mempersoalkan macamana pihak yang berwajib menangani masalah ini - ada submarine tak atau tak boleh dimenfaatkan sebaiknya,buat kenyataan akhbar macamlah orang sabah ini tak tau keadaan sebenar negeri ini. Sabah pernah beberapa kali menghadapi kejadian pahit seperti ini dan dari situ kita boleh menilai mana kenyataan yang boleh diterima akal. Kalau kenwang rasa lebih pandai, kenapa tidak beri idea atau cadangan kpd pihak yang berwajib macamana menyelesaikan masalah ini.

Orang Kampong, Kenwang ini butasetia dengan kerajaan. Dia ni merasakan kerajaan telah melaksanakan tugasnya dan tidak harus ada orang yang boleh mempertikaikan. Kita bukannya anti kerajaan. Kita adalah rakyat yang meluahkan perasaan bahawa kita tidak cukup dilindungi oleh mereka yang berkuasa. Sudah lumrah kerajaan yang membiarkan pendatang keluar masuk sesukahati seakan-akan yang mereka ini boleh diharapkan untuk menstabilkan negara kita.
Ging, KL ni jauh, kalau pun pendatang ini mengancam, kita yang disini saja akan menerima nasibnya. Mereka apa tahu?
Ingat kita kes rasuah bekas orang kanan Polis baru-baru ini? Tidak kisah lah apa keputusan mahkamah, tapi pada saya dia ni sibuk minta kawasan sawit dari kerajaan…
Ingat juga kah kita kisah peladang tempatan yang dicincang olih rakyat asing pasal soal pemilikan tanah sawit diLahad Datu? Kan ini menunjukkan betapa terancamnya kita? Inilah sebab kerajaan telah membiarkan orang asing menduduki negeri kita.
Pehak intelligence Amerika telah membuat intipan secara positif dan setelah melihat pertahanan diSabah terlalu selekeh. US tidak akan mau peristiwa Sipadan berulang. Mereka (US) telah membuat amaran larangan untuk orang2nya melawat keSabah. Tetapi orang2 politik kerajaan Malaysia marah pula kalau ditegur. Jadi bagi menentukan rakyatnya tidak lagi menghadapi ancaman penculikan, penculikan dua orang ini dilakonkan bagi mengejutkan pehak berkuasa dari tidur.
Lihat sahaja, tidak ada nyawa yang terkorban. Tidak ada ransom yang diminta. Keluarga2 mangsa seakan akan tidak mendesak mana mana pehak untuk berbuat sesuatu.
Sekarang pehak berkuasa pertahan kita seperti malu tersipu-sipu apabila menyedari US telah memainkan mereka. Jadi itulah mereka seakan-akan tahu yang mangsa akan dilepaskan bila-bila masa sahaja lagi dan tidak lah mereka perlu berusaha mencari mangsa.
Kenwang, kalaulah kamu selesa dengan apa yang berlaku disekitar kamu, good luck to you. Ada lebih satu juta pendatang berlegar diSabah. Hanya satu sahaja yang perlu untuk berbuat sesuatu untuk merosakkan kamu..
Pada satu ketika dahulu (awal 80′an) dua tahanan terlepas dari penjara Kepayan. Saya dimaklumkan oleh mereka yang ada maklumat bahawa keduadua ini adalah Graduate Universiti yang bertugas sebagai ‘intelligence” dari negara jiran. Mereka telah dihantar untuk mengintip dan pura-pura berkerja sebagai buruh kasar dalam projek jalanraya diLahad Datu.
Lihatlah betapa bocornya pertahanan kita.

Pangait, betul apa yang sdr. cakap tu. Aku pernah di kerajaan (keselamatan), banyak perkara yang aku tahu kenwang tidak tahu, cuma tidak boleh lah aku cakap lebih lebih di sini nnti nahas pula aku. Pemimpin pemimpin BN Sabah yang ada skrg ini sudah kena cucuk hidung, tidak boleh cakap lebih lebih menentang diorang, tetapi c kenwang ini mungkin matanya sudah dikaburi oleh ‘habuk emas’, tidak nampak lagi perbuatan yang tidak betul pemimpin yang didewa dewakannya !! Kalau kita orang Sabah imbau sejarah politik negeri Sabah ini memang menyakitkan hati dan menaikkan kemarahan. Semasa Sabah di bawah pemerintah USNO dulu, siapa control/penasihat Tun Mustapha ? Siapa kebas berbilion ringgit wang kerajaan Sabah ? Syed Kechik, bukan ? Siapa Syed Kechik ? Ah…budak kecil pada masa itu pun tahu siapa dia. Semasa BERJAYA memerintah, Harris Salleh lupa daratan sehingga sanggup serahkan Labuan ke wilayah persekutuan tanpa sebarang pampasan. Selangor bagi KL kpd WP ?
Siapa perancang supaya negeri Sabah huru hara semasa PBS ambil alih pemerintahan dpd BERJAYA pada tahun 1985 ? Pelarian Filipina di Sabah ada berapa orang ? Mereka masuk Sabah sejak tahun 70 an, di mana mereka sekarang, macamana mereka boleh berada di sini sehingga skrg jika tiada dokumen ? Hal hal keselamatan bukan kah t/jawab Federal ? Pemimpin BN Sabah sengaja tidak mahu mendesak kerajaan pusat supaya menyelesaikan masalah pemberian IC kpd pendatang asing di Sabah. Kenapa ? Takut BN kalah di Sabah ? Kalau kalah.. em.. yang rakus tu tidaklah lagi boleh membaham projek !!!
Dua orang tahanan yang lari dari Penjara Kepayan dlm tahun 80an itu ada ‘orang dlm’ kata anggota tentera filipina berpangkat lieutenant.
