Sabah state assembly: Sulu incursion nothing to do with sultanate claim, says Musa

KOTA KINABALU: The incursion by Sulu gunmen in Lahad Datu in February has nothing to do with the longstanding Sulu Sultanate claim over Sabah, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman told the state assembly.

He said the incursion, which resulted in an offensive by Malaysian forces resulting in 80 deaths, was nothing more than an attempt to destabilise the nation's security.
