Lahad Datu: Nur Misuari told not to take advantage of Sabah situation

KUCHING: Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Richard Riot cautioned former Moro National Liberation Front leader Nur Misuari not to take advantage of the Lahad Datu episode to advance his agenda.

In refuting Misuari's claim that Sabah rightfully belonged to the so-called Sultan of Sulu, Riot said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had made it categorically clear that the state was part of Malaysia and no one should question its sovereignty and territorial integrity as a legitimate part of Malaysian territory.
