Agbimuddin is brother to the self-professed Sulu “sultan”, Jamalul Kiram, who is trying to claim Sabah by force. — Reuters picPETALING JAYA, March 20 ― Agbimuddin Kiram, the Sulu militant chief who led a 200-strong band into Sabah to reclaim it for his clan, was a Malaysian citizen and had worked as a state civil servant in Kudat, PKR asserted today.
The opposition party’s strategy director, Rafizi Ramli, said their information was obtained from a 1975 list of state civil servants kept in Sabah’s archives, which recorded one “Datu Agbimudin Kiram” as a junior administrative officer in Kudat district who was appointed from March 1, 1974 with a monthly pay of RM610.
“This matter clearly shows ‘Project IC’ has a [connection] to the intrusion... which is also linked to the former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad,” Rafizi said, referring to the controversial citizenship award plan that had taken place during the fourth PM’s administration between 1981 and 2003.
He called on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to clarify how Sulu militants obtained Malaysian citizenships and how many had in fact been awarded the blue-coloured identity cards.
