Controversy rages over the newly crowned 'Sulu Sultan', an Umno member who allegedly was once held under ISA for faking MyKads.
KOTA KINABALU: Is the Federal Government going to take action against the ‘newly crowned Sulu Sultan’ Akjan Ali Muhamad who was allegedly held under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for faking MyKads? This is a question posed by former Sabah Chief Minister Yong Teck Lee.
“The fact that there are innumerable claimants to the Sulu Sultanate is public knowledge.
“But to have a joker by the name of Akjan Ali to install himself in a self-styled coronation in Sabah as Sultan of Sulu is a direct joke to Malaysia’s sovereignty over Sabah and an insult to the our Malaysian Sultans and our Sabah head of state.
“Does this so-called “Sultan of Sulu”, complete with a “Prime Minster” of a government-in-exile expect people of Sulu descent (living in Malaysia) to pledge loyalty to him, and not to our Malaysian Agung, our constitution and nation?
“The security implications are obvious and serious,” said Yong in a statement issued here.
Yong, who is also Sabah Progressive Party president further noted that in 1995 or 1996, Akjan and several other Umno operatives were detained under the ISA for the manufacturing of fake identity cards.
“I need say no more about this person except that Akjan is an active Umno member. What is Umno going to do about him?
“If the Malaysian government does nothing to stop such flagrant violation of Malaysia’s sovereignty over Sabah, then Sabahans will be wondering what it means to be a Malaysian,” he said.
Akjan was crowned as the 33rd Sultan of the Sulu Sultanate in a symbolical coronation ceremony here on Feb 2. The coronation was witnessed by some 60 people comprising of senior officials of the Sulu sultanate and its interim government.
Hence, Akjan now proclaimed himself as Paduka Mahasari Maulana Al-Sultan Sharif ul-Hashim II, Dr Sharif Mohammad Akjan Mu’izzuddin Waddaulah Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Sharif Ali Muhammad Pulalun, or Sultan Shariful-Hashim II, in short.
