LAHAD DATU: Two policemen were injured in overnight skirmishes with Sulu gunmen at Kampung Tanjung Batu, said Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib on Sunday.

He said one policeman was hit in the calf and the other sustained injury in the thigh during the sporadic shootout which occurred between 8pm and 4am.

Hamza said security forces could not immediately ascertain if any of the gunmen were hit in the incident.

The injured policemen were initially treated at the Armed Forces' field hospital before being flown to the Duchess of Kent hospital in Sandakan.

Hamza said the number of people detained under the Special Offences (Special Measures) Act under suspicion of being sympathisers to the gunmen had increased to 85 from 79 on Saturday.

He also denied reports by the Philippines media quoting Filipino nationals after fleeing to their homeland from Sabah as saying that they were abused by Malaysian security forces.

"There is no such thing," he added.

Dr M: Save Selangor to maintain position of Malays

Posted: 10 Mar 2013 06:25 AM PDT

SHAH ALAM: Selangor must be saved from the opposition to ensure the rights and position of the Malays and Bumiputra are maintained in the state, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He said the opposition pact, which had taken over the economy in Selangor, had great ambition to control politics in the state.

"Prior to this, when Selangor was under the Barisan Nasional (BN), we could see the economic growth was prolific and the Malays and Bumiputras had a place, so we lived more happily than previously.

"If the opposition wins and administer Selangor, the position of the Malays and Bumiputra will be shunted aside. Because of this, we must act quickly to convince the people of Selangor to topple the opposition government and replace it with BN which is led by Umno.

"Our sacrifices will be in vain of Selangor cannot be saved," he said at the closing of the convoy 'Save Selangor' organised by Selangor Perkasa here, Sunday.

Also present was his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali and Selangor Perkasa president Abu Bakar Yahya.

More than 3,000 took part in the motorcycle convoy to USJ, Subang Jaya and Rantau Panjang, Klang from 10am by carrying the Malaysian, Perkasa and BN flags.

The convoy also visited the grave of the late L/Kpl Mohd Azrul Tukiran at the Rantau Panjang Muslim Cemetary and had tahlil prayers for policemen killed in an ambush at Kampung Seri Jaya, Simunul, Semporna on March 2.

Dr Mahathir said, the weakness of two Malay parties in the opposition, resulted in disrespect for the race and risked the special privileges of the Malays and Bumpiutra being done away with.

"We also want to stress that Bahasa Melayu and Islam are the official language and religion of our nation. So they must respect our rights as how we respect their rights.

"But, because the leadership of the Malays in the opposition pact is very weak, they often just follow their colleagues including when pressed for the word Allah to be used (in the Bible).

"When they proposed to strip the special privileges of the Malays, the opposition, which purportedly had two parties with Malay leadership, willingly complied.If we are not careful, we will lose altogether our rights on our own soil and they (opposition) will get rid of all efforts to develop the Malays and Bumiputra.

In KLANG, Dr Mahathir reminded the people not to allow emotion to rule the day when choosing the government in the 13th general election.

He said the people should be wise when making the choice as their votes would determine their destiny and that of the next generation.

"We must use our good judgement to evaluate the performance of a government and if our judgement is clouded by emotions, then we may choose a wrong government, much to our detriment.

"Vote a proven party that has been responsible to the voters and willing to serve the people," he said at the "The Future of the Malaysian Race" forum.

Lahad Datu: KP1M-People need mattresses, pillows and blankets

KUALA LUMPUR: The people of Lahad Datu who are forced to be evacuated to three temporary settlements following the intrusion by armed militants from the southern Philippines are in need of mattresses, pillows and blankets.

1Malaysia Putera Club (KP1M) president Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim said the club members were at the evacuation centres, namely Embara Budi, Fajar Harapan and Cenderawasih, since Thursday and found that most of them were sleeping on the floor.

"Most of them left their homes with only the clothes on their backs.

"Besides clothing, mattresses, pillows and blankets are also needed because they also do not know when they are able to return to their houses," he said when contacted through the live telecast of the "Malaysia Hari Ini (MHI)" programme on TV3 on Sunday.

He said there was also a need for baby items, like cradles, as they were about 500 babies and children at the evacuation centres.

Abdul Azeez seeks assistance of non-governmental organisations to contribute for the people affected by the intrusion.

However, he said, those who wanted to contribute and enter the evacuation centres to get the assistance of the relevant authorities to do so to avoid any untoward incidence.

Since the intrusion by the Sulu terrorists in Lahad Datu last Feb 12, eight policemen and 53 of the intruders were killed, while almost 2,000 people had to be evacuated following the offensive operation by the security forces to flush out the remaining intruders. Bernama
