That
was what the Parliament Select Committee (reproduced verbatim above)
heard on Monday, 26 February 2007, when various people who had once been
detained under Malaysia’s draconian and dreaded Internal Security Act
(ISA) testified before it. These people, who used to walk in the
corridors of power, were detained under the ISA because they once worked
for the government and their government job was to ‘import’ an
estimated one million Muslims from the countries neighbouring Sabah and
issue them with Malaysian identity cards so as to flood the state with
Muslim voters.
Their
testimonies further revealed that a ‘partnership’ had been established
between Umno and the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) of the Philippines. But the
partnership went terribly wrong when the Umno nominees entrusted with
the job of paying off Umno’s Abu Sayyaf partners never delivered the
USD38 million promised. To ‘encourage’ the very recalcitrant Umno to pay
its extremely long outstanding debt, the Abu Sayyaf Group raided
Sipadan and Pandanan islands off the coast of Sabah in 2000 and
kidnapped 24 Malaysians and foreigners whom they held for ransom as
‘security’ for the debt.
But
Umno was not Abu Sayyaf’s only partner or the people who set them up in
business. This is what Edmundo Santuario III had to say on the matter
in his article Abu Sayyaf: The CIA’s Monster Gone Berserk http://www.bulatlat.com/archive1/016abu_us.htm

Umno moved into Sabah soon after the failure of Usno and Berjaya to wrest the state from PBS in the 1990 General Election. The purpose of course was to bring the state back under Federal control by hook or by crook. Invariably, the ‘crook’ method, which is always the shortest distance between two points, was chosen.
“Kegagalan Usno dan Berjaya merampas kuasa daripada PBS dalam tahun 1990 memberikan tukul dan paku kepada Umno untuk menyeberang Laut Cina Selatan dan masuk ke Sabah bagi memaku rapat Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan dalam keranda politiknya dengan meneruskan PENGELUARAN KAD PENGENALAN PROJEK kepada PATI,” said one ex-ISA detainee to the Parliamentary Select Committee on Monday, 26 February 2007.
“Selaku orang yang paling berkuasa dalam Kerajaan Mahathir, DATUK SERI MEGAT JUNID MEGAT AYUB dan Setiausaha Politiknya DATUK AZIZ SAMSUDDIN, telah melakukan tindakan paling drastik dengan mengarahkan enam orang pegawai pendaftaran dari cawangan Kota Kinabalu memproses dan menandatangani kad pengenalan biru yang diberikan kepada rakyat asing dengan menggunakan HNR 5 dan HNR 6 (diproses di Sabah), tanpa sebarang dokumen sokongan.”
“Pengarah JPN Sabah ketika itu, ABDUL RAUF SANI, mengarahkan mereka melaksanakan misi sulit itu setelah menerima penerangan terperinci daripada KOLONEL MOHD NOOR, Pegawai daripada Perisikan Tentera Malaysia (MIO). Mereka diterbangkan khas dari Kota Kinabalu dan Datuk Aziz Samsuddin membenarkan rumah yang diperuntukan kerajaan kepadanya yang terletak di No. 18, Kampung Pandan, Kuala Lumpur, sebagai Markas Mini Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara.”
“Lebih 100,000 Kad Pengenalan Biru diberikan kepada PATI oleh operasi khas ini. Pegawai yang terlibat menandatangani kad pengenalan biru PATI di Rumah Datuk Aziz Samsuddin ialah AZMI ABDUL KARIM, YAKUP DAMSAH, ASLI SIDUP, MOHD TOHID MOHAMMAD, RAMSAH MOHD YASSIN dan BAHRIN MOJITAR. Tarikh pengeluaran kad pengenalan diundur beberapa tahun ke belakang. Kesemua mereka, melainkan Bahrin, akhirnya ditahan di bawah ISA setelah UMNO berkuasa atas tuduhan MEMUDARATKAN KESELAMATAN NEGARA.”
Yes, that is but four paragraphs from a 29-page testimony that an ex-ISA detainee made to Parliament on 26 February 2007. And, as the testimony reveals, all those involved were eventually detained under the ISA on grounds that they are threats to national security. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that they were detained to keep them quiet and to not allow the incident to become public knowledge.

On 10 April 2000, two executive suite rooms were booked on the 11th floor of the Hyatt Kota Kinabalu International Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The rooms were registered under the names of Yussof Hamdan and Sairin Karno, both well known Umno Sabah heavyweights. Yussof and Sairin, however, did not occupy the rooms. The occupants were six Abu Sayyaf Group leaders from Jolo, the Southern Philippines, as follows:
1. Ghalib Andang alias Commander Robot
2. Mujib Susukan
3. Radulan Sujiron
4. Ernest Pacuno
5. Samil Jumaani
6. Unknown
These six, who are key personalities of the Abu Sayyaf Group, checked out of their rooms on the 17th of April.
For seven days, these guests from Jolo were entertained by the local Umno Sabah heavyweights and were seen openly in the Coffee House and The Shenanigans Pub of the Hyatt Kota Kinabalu International Hotel. Sairin Karno, Yussof Hamdan, Nasir Sakaran and even Yong Teck Lee were seen entertaining these Abu Sayyaf leaders.
On 23 April 2000, one week after leaving Kota Kinabalu, this same group of people from the Abu Sayyaf Group conducted a raid on Sipadan and took 21 hostages.
These leaders from the Abu Sayyaf Group were in Kota Kinabalu as guests of Umno Sabah one week before the raid in Sipadan. What were they doing with the Umno heavyweights and the former Chief Minister, Yong Teck Lee?
Commander Robot carries a Malaysian blue identity card and once worked as a bodyguard for Yong Teck Lee. He was also a long time resident of Lahad Datu, Sabah.
Mujib Susukan, another Abu Sayyaf heavyweight, also has a Malaysian blue identity card and once worked for the Yong family in the Yong Asia Plantation in Lahad Datu.
On 15 July 2000, Yong Teck Lee, Aziz Samsuddin and Sairin Karno flew into Zamboanga on a Sabah Air flight to meet Aventajado. Yong had in his possession USD3 million in USD100 bank notes. Yong Teck Lee, the bag carrier and chief negotiator with the Abu Sayyaf Group, reported that the USD3 million cash in cash somehow got misplaced at the Zamboanga Airport. The money disappeared and was never seen again since.
Two days later, a Sabah Air flight took off from Kota Kinabalu with another USD3 million in cash, which this time arrived safely and which Yong Teck Lee handed over to the Filipino generals who were negotiating with the Abu Sayyaf Group the release of the 21 Sipadan hostages.
After handing over the money Yong Teck Lee and gang return to Kota Kinabalu on the 18th of July.

I hope someone can confirm this in the RCIIIS although what has been disclosed in the first week of the Public hearing of the RCIIIS have sort of given more or less some of the relevant indication of Project IC of Mahathir and UMNO that had gone AWRY...
ReplyDeleteso we now know the cause of the Sipadan kidnapping..
