Malaysian soldiers firing at Sulu gunmen at Tanduo village in Lahad Datu.
THREE events that played out on three consecutive days last week in Kota Kinabalu and 558km across the Sulu Sea on Jolo island might have treacherous consequences for Malaysia’s future.
On Feb 5, the Kota Kinabalu High Court ordered a son of the late Esmail Kiram, a self-styled Sulu Sultan, and 15 Filipinos to enter their defence for various offences related to the 2013 intrusion of Lahad Datu.
