Kiram daughter slams Aquino anew
(Global Nation) – Jacel Kiram, 32, said that if there was any conspiracy, it was between President Aquino’s government and the political party of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, the United Malays National Organization (UMNO).
MANILA, Philippines—The daughter of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III maintained Saturday that no conspiracy was involved in the decision of her family and their followers to reclaim Sabah and slammed the Aquino administration for pursuing this angle to discredit the Sultanate of Sulu.
“The conspiracy theory is an insult to the Filipino people and to the Sultanate of Sulu, more so to the Rajah Mudah and his people,” Princess Jacel Kiram said in a press conference.
Jacel Kiram, 32, said that if there was any conspiracy, it was between President Aquino’s government and the political party of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, the United Malays National Organization (UMNO).
“(It is) purely for political exigency and popularity. This issue (about Sabah) to them is not important, especially at election time in Malaysia. To gain points instead of adhering to the call of the United Nations to a peaceful resolution, Razak did the opposite. He sent seven battalions supported by the Naval, Army, and Air Force to pulverize the Royal Army, disregarding life,” Jacel Kiram said.
She said the conspiracy theory of the government was also meant to divert the public’s attention from what she described as Malacañang’s “mishandling” of the Sabah standoff that began a month ago.
She also accused Malacañang of acting as a “spokesperson against the interest of our own people in order to pacify the role of Malaysia in facilitating the peace process.”
“Question: How can PNoy allow the Filipinos in Sabah to be the sacrificial lamb in order to protect the political ambition of Razak at the same time propping up (his) declining credibility in crisis management?” Jacel Kiram said.
“I call on the Filipino people to be more circumspect and not to allow disinformation to formulate their beliefs,” she said.
