Lahad Datu invaders say will ‘never surrender’

KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 — The armed Filipino rebel group that invaded Lahad Datu has declared that it will “never surrender” and are willing to die in Sabah, Philippine media reported yesterday.

Another online news portal also reported yesterday that the rebels fired some shots into the air last Wednesday to warn off the Malaysian security forces. 

“The word surrender is something not good for us. We are not outlaws. We are not bad elements... we are law-abiding citizens,” Filipino rebel group leader Agbimuddin Kiram was reported as saying by the Manila Times online news site yesterday.   Agbimuddin, the brother of self-proclaimed Sulu Sultan Jamallul Kiram III, said the group was prepared to fight to death if attacked by Malaysian authorities.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar was reported by national news agency Bernama last Tuesday as saying that the invasion would be resolved “as soon as possible” despite the expiry of last Sunday’s deadline for the gunmen to leave.

Jarumemas: One question to the Filipinoes: How do you feel when your house is filled with outsiders who are not invited as guests? In Islam guests have the rights to stay in for three days whre the host will entertain the guests by preparing  the food and hospitality. After the three days the  guests will have to leave. I am sure since these people are Muslims they should know the regulations and should leave as requested.

Dr M tidak gembira cadangan Putrajaya turunkan harga kereta

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 28 — Tindakan Putrajaya untuk menurunkan kadar duti kereta import tidak dipersetujui Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, sebaliknya beliau merasakan Proton seharusnya diberikan keutamaan walaupun mempunyai prestasi yang merundum dalam industri pembuatan kereta.

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak akan menurunkan duti import kereta daripada Jepun dan Australia secara berperingkat bermula esok sebagai langkah untuk menyaksikan duti sifar daripada kedua-dua negara itu dalam tempoh tiga tahun akan datang.

"Sebagai penasihat Proton sudah tentu saya mahu melihat Proton menjual lebih banyak kereta namun polisi itu akan memberikan kesan kepada jualan Proton," katanya  kepada pemberita selepas berucap dalam majlis Polisi Pandang ke Timur di Universiti Teknologi Malaysia di sini.

Collapsed Cyberjaya flyover was closed for repairs, say PKNS, Works Ministry

CYBERJAYA, Feb 28 – The flyover near the Selangor Science Park 2 (SSP2) here that collapsed today was closed for repair works since last November, the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) said today.

PKNS general manager Othman Omar said that the flyover, which was originally built by PKNS but has been handed over to highway operator PLUS Malaysia Berhad, was closed to repair a road that had begun to sink beneath it. However, PLUS has denied the flyover was handed to it, saying it is still under the purview of PKNS.

Othman said that both PKNS and PLUS began investigations last December after noticing damage to the flyover from excavation works.

“Before we could finish the investigation, the flyover has collapsed,” Othman told reporters here.
