LAHAD DATU: The Sulu terrorist group that invaded Kampung Tanduo, about 130km from here, is not fit to known as the royal army of the Sultanate of Sulu because of their violent action which threatened the livelihood of local residents, including Muslims.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Ahmad Maslan said people who terrorised others should not be likened to a respectable group like the army.
“Stop referring to that terrorist group as the royal army of the Sulu Sultanate and it is also inappropriate to link the Sulu community in Sabah with the group.
“Evil has nothing to do with race. One can be evil because of greed, power greedy, with shallow religious faith and possess animalistic character,” he said at a meeting with Suluk community leaders here Saturday night. — Bernama
