The murder of eight police personnel is among charges which the armed foreign intruders in Sabah would face, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.
“If they have broken the laws of Malaysia, they should be charged in the court of Malaysia for whatever crime they have committed, certainly murder,”
“It is not a war (in Sabah), it is an intrusion into our country by foreigners, on our sovereignty,”
“If there is a war, then the Geneva Convention will come into play. But it is not. It is still at a stage of intrusion.
