Agbimuddin Kiram adalah seorang penjawat awam di pejabat daerah Sabah, jurucakap bagi kesultanan Sulu mengesahkannya hari ini, tetapi menafikan pemimpin militan itu telah diberikan kewarganegaraan Malaysia seperti yang didakwa oleh Rafizi Ramli, Pengarah Straterrgi PKR.

Abraham Idjirani, setiausaha-umum Kesultanan Sulu, memberitahu media Filipina di Manila bahawa Agbimuddin telah berkhidmat sebagai seorang pembantu pegawai daerah di Kudat, Sabah, berdasarkan pada dokumen gaji 1975 kerajaan Sabah diperolehi dari arkib negeri.

Idjirani bagaimanapun, menegaskan bahawa Agbimuddin - yang merupakan adik kepada Gadungan Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III - Filipina dan tidak pernah memilikki kad pengenalan Malaysia seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Pengarah Strategi PKR itu.

"Pada masa itu mereka berkata 'bigyan nyo kami ng IC, Sabi ng Sabah berkuasa kahit hindi Kayo bigyan, Kayo ang boleh-ari ng Sabah ('berikan kami kad pengenalan, tetapi pihak berkuasa Sabah berkata jika tidak beri kad pengenalan pun, kamu memiliki Sabah juga), "Idjirani telah dipetik sebagai berkata oleh portal berita InterAksyon petang ini.

Beliau berkata keluarga Kirams, yang sedang berusaha untuk menuntut Borneo utara,negeri yang kaya dengan minyak kini wilayah Malaysia, telah menetap di Sabah selepas pembunuhan beramai-ramai Jabidah 1968.

Peristewa pemunuhan Jabidah adalah peristewa pembunuhan 27 belia  Islam Moro yang direkrut untuk misi rahsia bagi tujuan menyerang Sabah, di tangan tentera Filipina semasa pentadbiran Marcos, menurut laporan harian akhbar Filipina semalam.

Menurut Idjirani, dia telah bercakap dengan Agbimuddin pagi ini di mana dia telah sempat melarikan diri diserang di Sabah selepas pertempuran dengan pasukan keselamatan Malaysia.

"Raja muda" Kesultanan Sulu atau putera mahkota telah membawa sekumpulan 200 pengganas bersenjata ke Lahad Datu pada 9 Februari lalu dan menjadikan pantai timur Sabah medan pertempuran ganas dalam usaha mereka untuk merebut kembali negeri itu.

Idjirani berkata Agbimuddin hanya mempunyai tasbih hikmatnya dan tidak bersenjata ketika pertembungan dengan pasukan keselamatan Malaysia yang menyebabkan dua militan Sulu terkorban.

Jacel Kiram, yang merupakan anak perempuan Jamalul, yang turut hadir pada sidang akhbar itu, telah dilaporkan berkata dua orang militan telah melindungi Agbimuddin daripada ditembak.

"Noong nagkaroon ng encounter, close daw, masyadong malapit, nakita ng tao n'ya (Apabila serangan tersebut berlaku, ia sangat dekat) untuk membunuh Raja Muda tetapi orangnya melindunginya dalam serangan tersebut," kata Jacel dalam kenyataannya. 

Idjirani berkata cuma 166 dari 235 pengikutnya yang ke Sabah bersama Agbimuddin yang tinggal dan mengulangi permintaan sultan kepada Presiden Filipina Benigno Aquino III mengambil pendirian tegas ke atas konflik Sabah dan "menangguhkan sementara kempen pilihan rayanya". -malaysian insider

Sulu sultanate confirms Agbimuddin worked in Kudat, denies Malaysian citizenship claim...

Agbimuddin Kiram was a civil servant in a Sabah district office, a spokesman for the Sulu sultanate confirmed today, but denied the militant leader had been granted Malaysian citizenship as alleged just hours earlier by the opposition PKR.

Abraham Idjirani, the sultanate’s secretary-general, told Philippines media in Manila that Agbimuddin had served as an assistant district officer in Kudat on Sabah’s north, backing PKR’s statement earlier this morning, which was based on a 1975 Sabah government payroll dug up from the state’s archives.

Idjirani however, maintained that Agbimuddin – who is the younger brother to self-styled Sulu sultan Jamalul Kiram III – is Filipino and was never issued a Malaysian identity card as asserted by PKR.

“That time they said ‘bigyan nyo kami ng IC, sabi ng Sabah authorities kahit hindi kayo bigyan, kayo ang may-ari ng Sabah’ [‘give us IC cards, but Sabah authorities told them, ‘even if we don’t give you, you own Sabah anyway],” Idjirani was quoted as saying by Philippine news portal InterAksyon this afternoon.

He also said the Kirams, who are seeking to reclaim their 17th century ownership over the oil-rich north Borneo state now under Malaysian control, had lived in Sabah after the 1968 Jabidah massacre.

The Jabidah incident reportedly marked the killing of 27 Moro Muslim youths recruited for a top-secret mission to invade Sabah, at the hands of the Philippines armed forces during the Marcos administration, according to a report in The Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper yesterday.

Idjirani also said he had spoken with Agbimuddin this morning where the latter had narrowly escaped death in Sabah after fresh clashes against Malaysian security forces today.

The Sulu sultanate’s “raja muda” or crown prince had led a 200-strong band of gunmen into Lahad Datu last February 9 and turned the Sabah east coast into a violent battleground in their bid to retake the state.

Idjirani said Agbimuddin had only his prayer beads and was unarmed in the 10.30am skirmish but survive the face-to-face encounter with Malaysian security forces which felled two Sulu militants.

Jacel Kiram, who is Jamalul’s daughter, and was present at the same news conference as Idjirani, was reported saying two of Agbimuddin’s men had shielded him from the gunfight.

“Noong nagkaroon ng encounter, close daw, masyadong malapit, nakita ng tao n’ya (When an encounter occured it was really close and his men saw) that a gun was about to fire at Raja Muda so he covered the Raja Muda and his people died in the incident,” Jacel was quoted as saying.

Idjirani said only 166 of the 235 Filipinos who sailed to Sabah with Agbimuddin remained and repeated the sultanate’s plea to Philippine President Benigno Aquino III to take a stand on the Sabah conflict and to “postpone his campaign sorties”.-malaysian insider

Who is Datu Agbimudin Kiram, former Sabah officer?

 Ketua tentera Sulu Raja Muda Sulu’ Agbimudin Kiram adalah rakyat Malaysia,bekas ADO Kudat...

Sejak pencerobohan di Lahad Datu berlaku, pelbagai spekulasi timbul akibat maklumat yang samar-samar yang diberikan oleh Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak, sebagai penjawat awam tertinggi yang bertanggungjawab kepada rakyat.

Salah satu persoalan yang paling besar ialah latar belakang kumpulan bersenjata ini. Walaupun secara rasminya mereka diisytiharkan sebagai orang asing dari satu kumpulan yang mewakili Kesultanan Sulu, banyak spekulasi timbul apabila ada tokoh-tokoh pimpinan tertentu dari kumpulan itu yang dikatakan rakyat Malaysia.



Perkara ini penting kerana ia membayangkan kesan sampingan Projek IC yang dikaitkan dengan Tun Mahathir Mohamad dan setakat ini disahkan oleh keterangan-keterangan kepada Suruhanjaya diRaja Mengenai Kerakyatan di Sabah. Wujudnya tokoh-tokoh dari kumpulan bersenjata Sulu ini dari kalangan rakyat Malaysia mengesahkan keresahan rakyat bahawa pemberian kerakyatan bagi tujuan politik tanpa melalui proses yang sah mengundang ancaman keselamatan.

Sejak tercetusnya pencerobohan di Lahad Datu, KEADILAN telah mengadakan pertemuan dengan penduduk tempatan untuk cuba mendapat maklumat lanjut mengenai latar belakang tokoh-tokoh ini. Salah seorang yang sering disebut ialah ketua kumpulan itu sendiri yang menggelarkan dirinya Raja Muda Sulu, bernama Agbimudin @ Azzimuddie Kiram.

Maklumat awal penduduk tempatan menyatakan bahawa dia pernah bertugas sebagai pegawai kerajaan di Pejabat Daerah Kudat dan mengesahkan bahawa dia adalah rakyat Malaysia setelah diberikan kad pengenalan.

Dari maklumat tersebut, Timbalan Setiausaha Agong KEADILAN, Sdr Darell Leiking telah menjejaki maklumat kakitangan Kerajaan Negeri Sabah di beberapa tempat termasuklah di Jabatan Arkib Negara Sabah.

Dari maklumat Senarai Kakitangan 1975, Perkhidmatan Awam Sabah seperti yang disimpan di Jabatan Arkib Negara Sabah, disahkan bahawa Datu Agbimudin Kiram tersenarai sebagai Pegawai Pentadbir Muda di Pejabat Daerah Kudat dengan lantikan bermula 1 Mac 1974 bergaji RM610 sebulan.



Dengan maklumat ini, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak tidak lagi boleh bersembunyi disebalik alasan keselamatan nasional untuk mengelak dari menjawab soalan-soalan yang berlegar di pemikiran rakyat:

1. Berapa orang setakat ini dari kalangan penceroboh bersenjata merupakan rakyat Malaysia yang berasal dari Filipina yang diberikan kad pengenalan biru seperti Agbimudin Kiram?

2. Berapa orang setakat ini dari kalangan penceroboh bersenjata rakyat Malaysia itu adalah ahli Umno?

3. Kenapa Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak tidak berterus terang dengan rakyat bahawa ketua kumpulan bersenjata ini adalah rakyat Malaysia berasal dari Filipina yang diberikan kad pengenalan biru?

Penemuan ini membuka dimensi baru mengenai pencerobohan ini yang jelasnya mengesahkan hubung kait di antara pencerobohan bersenjata dengan Projek IC yang dikaitkan dengan Tun Mahathir Mohamad dan Umno.

Untuk mengupas perkara ini dengan lebih lanjut, KEADILAN akan menganjurkan Bicara Kedaulatan dan Keselamatan Negara (BKKN) dalam bentuk forum yang disertai oleh Leftenan Jeneral (B) Dato’ Abdul Ghafir Abdul Hamid (mantan Timbalan Panglima Tentera Darat) dan Tuan Yusuf Barji (bekas Penolong Pesuruhjaya Polis/ACP dan Pengarah Cawangan Khas PDRM Sabah) di Kuala Lumpur, Sungai Petani dan Johor Bahru.

BKKN yang pertama akan berlangsung di Dewan Dato’ Ahmad Razali Ampang pada hari Khamis, 21 Mac 2013 jam 9 malam dan akan dipengerusikan oleh saya sendiri. Melaui BKKN, persoalan hubungkait Projek IC dan ancaman keselamatan akibat dari semborono Umno itu akan dikupas dengan sejelasnya, selain dari isu-isu kedaulatan dan keselamatan negara yang lain.

KEADILAN menunggu jawapan dari Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak dan Tun Mahathir Mohamad agar perkara sebenarnya dapat dijelaskan kepada rakyat.

RAFIZI RAMLI
Pengarah Strategi

 

Sulu army leader Azzimudie a Malaysian...

PKR has claimed that the alleged ‘Raja Muda Sulu’ Agbimudin @ Azzimudie Kiram is a Malaysian and was even a former assistant district officer in Kudat, Sabah.

PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli (right) said that, since the conflict started last month, there have been rumours as to who Azzimudie really is, because Sabahans claim to know him.

"A search by PKR deputy secretary-general Darrel Iking at the national archives on the list of Civil Servants 1975 revealed the name 'Datu Agbimudin Kiram' stated there as an asisstant district officer," he said.

"I want Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to explain whether (Azzimudie) is truly a Malaysian who was naturalised under 'Project IC', and whether he is an Umno member as most Sulu people in Sabah are."

The PKR director of strategy said this is one big question over the background of the armed terrorists in Sabah, although they are proclaimed as foreigners representing the self-styled Sulu sultan.

He noted that there are a lot of speculations since then, that some of the leaders of the group are Malaysians.

Rafizi stressed that an explanation is needed on the matter, as the attack could be the after-effects of the 'Project IC' which is related to former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and up to now, certain aspects have been verified in the on-going royal commission of inquiry.

"This affirms the uneasiness of the people over the awarding of citizenship for political reasons without going through the valid vetting process. And their presence could be a danger to the national security," he claimed.

"Following the Lahad Datu incursion, PKR has conducted several meetings with local residents and obtained information on the backgrounds of some of the leaders, including Agbimuddin @ Azzimuddie," he said, adding that Agbimuddin was born in 1941, so this makes him 72 years old this year.

'Najib must explain'

Rafizi said that Najib must explain further, as he cannot deny or hide from the public's concerns on the country's national security.

The PKR director of strategy said Najib cannot merely avoid the questions in the people's minds, may of whom are asking how many of the armed intruders are Malaysians who originate from the Philippines, how many of them are Umno members, and why hasn't the PM told the truth that the leader of the group is a Filipino who had been given an identity card (IC).

"The discovery gives a new dimension to the intrusion episode and its relationship with the 'Project IC'."

To a question on how certain he is that the person who is stated in the Civil Servants' roll is the same person leading the terrorists, Rafizi replied that this is based on the talk of people in the Kudat town who know Agbimudin or Azzimudie.

"A lot of people in Kudat know Agbimudin, and this is consistent because if you talk to people, they will recall him," he claimed.

"I do not know whether he is now in Lahad Datu, but he is the leading figure of the armed group," he stressed.

Rafizi and Darrel also want Sabah chief minister Musa Aman (right) to explain and verify on whether Agbimudin had truly worked as an assistant district officer there.

He said if Agbimudin is 72, he may have retired in the late 1990s and may have gone back to the Philippines before coming back here to initiate the intrusion.

With this revelation, Rafizi wants Najib and Musa to come clean on the circumstances surrounding Agbimudin.-malaysiakini
