Filipino clan says Malaysian police shot

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 01 Maret 2013 | 11.25

A FILIPINO clan leader who occupied a Malaysian village with nearly 200 followers says Malaysian police opened fire on them in a bid to end the three-week stand-off that threatened to complicate the two countries' relations.

Members of a Muslim royal clan from the southern Philippines landed in a coastal village in Malaysia's Sabah state on February 9 to claim the territory as their own, citing ownership documents from the late 1800s. They ignored appeals from Philippine President Benigno Aquino III to leave immediately or face prosecution at home on charges of triggering armed conflict.

The leader of the group, Agbimuddin Kiram, told Philippine radio station DZBB in Manila that Malaysian police surrounding Lahad Datu village opened fire early on Friday and that his group was fighting back. He said there were casualties on the Filipino side but did not provide details.

Malaysian police in Sabah refused to comment.

"They suddenly came in; we had to defend ourselves," Kiram said. Sounds of shots were heard in the background while he was being interviewed by phone. He said his plan was "to fight".
