[izzah and tian chua...] 'Sorry' no cure!

You are saying that you don't know Jacel Kiram?

Gosh, Tian Chua. You must be kidding. Nurul also was not aware that the lady beside her in the photograph is Jacel?

After all the publicity given to her and her 'terrorist family', you maintain that both of you didn't know her at all?

Batu MP Tian Chua has said that both he and PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar regret the uneasiness caused by the pictures taken with Jacel Kiram during their trip to the Philippines but he maintains that they were unaware that they were taking the pictures with the self-styled Sulu princess.Chua said that both he and Nurul were simply acting in accordance with the common practice of taking pictures with all parties when attending international conferences and that they did not realise who they were taking the photograph with.

The MP also claimed that the issue of sovereignty was being politicised and that political parties should instead be united with regards to the issue of protecting the nations territorial integrity.

And today, he slammed Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for naming him as the manresponsible for the meeting between PKR's Nurul Izzah Anwar and Sulu representative Jacel Kiram.

Calling it baseless, he said Ahmad Zahid should retract his statement.

"That was a baseless argument and does not bring any positive image to the country," he said.

"He cannot come out with a statement without any evidence. As what was explained by Nurul Izzah, both of us were in the Philippines following invitations by several parties from that country."

Why should Zahid retract his accusation when meeting in the Philippines was arranged before the visit? Are you saying that you went there and met Jacel and her team without prior appointment?

And now after Malaysians, especially the Sabahans have expressed their disappointment over the matter, both you finally say how you regretted it.

“We regret that this has cause uneasiness among the people and Nurul Izzah has already apologised to the families of the victims, so why are we playing up his issue?” asked Chua

Nobody is playing up the issue. Your 'hard to say I am sorry' attitude has sparked anger among peace-loving Malaysians. Your buddy Teressa Kok is another dumb head for calling it 'an old issue'.

What about Teoh Beng Hock issue you've been crying aloud for? A new issue?

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had stated that Chua had been the person who arranged the meeting and that he was also responsible for contacting the Sulu sultanate.

Jacel is the daughter of self-styled Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III who ordered 200 members of his “Royal Sulu Army” to invade Lahad Datu in February 2013 to stake his claim over Sabah.

And how do Sabahans react to it? Read this, Tian Chua and Nurul!

Nurul Izzah Anwar's explanation on her photograph with Sulu princess Jacel Kiram has failed to appease Sabah politicians, with several leaders expressing disbelief that a leader of her stature would associate with an individualwhose family was responsible for the 2013 Lahad Datu invasion that killed 15 Malaysians.The most outspoken of the disgruntled leaders was Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) President Datuk Yong Teck Lee, who suggested the PKR vice-president be banned from the State if she doesn't apologise and promise never to offend Sabahans again.

He said Jacel, the daughter of the late self-styled former Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, has on her family name, openly made a claim over Sabah.

"Why would a Malaysian MP show tacit support to Jacel Kiram who is well known for her campaign to claim Sabah for the Philippines?

"It is impossible that Nurul did not know about Jacel's election platform to claim Sabah using her family name on behalf of the Philippines. She is a high profile senatorial candidate closely linked to the incumbent Vice-President of the Philippines. She cannot be that ignorant," said Yong when contacted.
