    This merdeka, the rakyat has to be reminded once again on the grave danger to our nation sovereignty imposed onto us by the failure PH Gomen that caused us to be indebted to huge sum of RM 60BILLION(!) owing to Pinoy Sulus. Easily that chunk could determine if we are going to be positive or in recession, which will further increase the cost to be paid for these foreign faceless entities.

    Our great nation is in danger not so much from external antagonists but from traitorous elements within whom were given power. Just a short stay of 22months have gravely damaged us for the next 22 years(!) or more(!).

    We must demand answers and transparency on this matter as well PM Sabri! No stones left unturned!

      Get your facts right. It was Najib gov who stop the payment after the Sulu terrorist invasion on Sabah. Secondly, whatever billions claimed by the Sulu was baseless. The non payment started by the BN government and when PH was in power the government offered to pay arrears to Sulu for USD 10,800 including interest (USD 1000/year as per original agreement) if they agreed to stop the arbitration process against Malaysia Government. This fiasco was started by the stupid Najib. Don’t be as stupid.
