Lahad Datu: A Wag The Dog Operation?
No one from UMNO dares to deny the close relationship that they had (or still have) with the Sulu sultanate people.

We have to support our troops 100%. They are being professional and just following orders.
However, the people giving those orders are the ones that we have to question.
Especially in light of so many facts proving close ties between UMNO leaders and the Sulu Sultanate whom are based in Manila.
We now have in our hands several pictures of current and former leaders of UMNO with the current Sultan of Sulu, of which his brother is still at large and operating in Lahad Datu Sabah and the leader of the incursion.
We have pictures of:
2.0 Aziz Shamsuddin (the man where IC for illegal immigrants were produced direct from his own house)3.0 Shafiee Afdal
Now, UMNO is trying to argue that the Sultan operating out of Manila is not a legal entity. Yet, why is the Government of Malaysia paying secession money to the same person that they have labelled to be illegal? In there words, the people that the Malaysian government is fighting in Lahad Datu are the same people that Malaysia is paying cession money to on annual basis (click here, here and here)
Also, we have all come to know about the IC project given to illegal immigrants of which the majority of them are Malays from the South of Phillipines. The same race and religion of the Sulu Sultanate. That explains the picture of Aziz Samsuddin and the Sultan of Sulu. Thick as thieves they are.
We also now know that many of the Sulu Sultanate Royal family are leaders of UMNO at the grassroot level in Sabah. In fact, representatives from the Sulu Sultanate even attended the UMNO General Assembly in 2012.
In short, no one from UMNO dares to deny the close relationship that they had (or still have) with the Sulu sultanate people.
That explains why the first thing UMNO did was to accuse Anwar as being the mastermind behind the Sulu incursion. The entire might of the UMNO media machine was used to slander Anwar Ibrahim up to the point when Anwar declared that he is starting a RM100m suit against TV3 and Utusan.
In truth, the Sulu Sultanate categorically denies any connection with anyone in the opposition parties in Malaysia whether from Pakatan Rakyat or not.
I cannot shake the nagging feeling that this is just another drama ala “wag the dog” to spruce up sympathy in preparation for the upcoming elections. (Remember the saying “if you can’t get the dog to wag his tail, then wag the dog”)
