KUALA LUMPUR: The government views seriously over a news report by an international media that alleged 600 members of the Royal Sulu Army (RSA) are preparing to invade Sabah, says Deputy Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz (pic).

"I read it just now, however, the news cannot be verified, so I cannot comment further...but on the government side, any information is viewed seriously, we don’t want the tragedy in Lahad Datu, Sabah to happen again,” he said when winding-up the Supply 2022 Bill at the committee level for the Defence Ministry at the Dewan Rakyat.
