KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia menyangkal dakwaan media Filipina mengenai berlaku pertempuran di antara pasukan keselamatan dengan kira-kira 400 tentera Sulu di daerah Lahad Datu.

Ketua Pengarah Kawasan Keselamatan Khas Pantai Timur (Esscom), Datuk Mohamad Mantek memberitahu The Star pada selasa bahawa dakwaan berlaku pertempuran itu adalah tidak masuk akal.

"Tiada insiden seperti itu berlaku.

"Tiada berlaku sebarang pencerobohan atau pergerakan sesiapa. Tiada apa-apa berlaku," katanya.

Menurut beliau, dakwaan sedemikian adalah berniat jahat dan bertujuan untuk mencetuskan huru-hara.

Mohamad berkata, polis sedang meneruskan siasatan terhadap seorang remaja perempuan berusia 14 tahun yang mendakwa diculik sekumpulan lelaki bertopeng di Kampung Tanagian, dalam Zon Tanjung Labian, Lahad Datu pada petang Isnin sebelum mereke menghilangkan diri.

Media Filipina melaporkan bahawa kira-kira 400 lelaki bersenjata Sulu bertempur dengan pasukan keselamatan Malaysia di Kampung Tungku dekat Lahad Datu pada petang Isnin.

Jurucakap kumpulan bersenjata Sulu, Abraham Idjirani mendakwa pertempuran itu dilaporkan kepadanya oleh Agbimuddin Kiram yang juga adik kepada Sultan Sulu, Jamalul Kiram.

Abraham mengakui mereka memasuki Kampung Tungku kira-kira pukul 1 petang sebelum bertembung dengan pasukan keselamatan Malaysia.

MANILA, Philippines - Some 400 fighters and volunteers in the Royal Security Force (RSF) of the Sultanate of Sulu have engaged Malaysian security forces in a firefight in Kampung Dengan Tungku in Lahad Datu, Sabah on Monday afternoon, Abraham Idjirani, spokesman for the Sulu sultanate, said the fresh fighting was reported to him by Agbimuddin Kiram, brother of Sulu sultan Jamalul Kiram III and commander of the RSF.

Agbimuddin reported that the RSF fighters were moving through Dengan Tungku at about 1 p.m. when they encountered the Malaysian troops.

"There was a rather long exchange of fire. The RSF later was forced back into their base in Lahad Datu," Idjirani told the STAR.

Idjirani said the RSF did not sustain any casualty during the firefight. There was no information about casualties on the Malaysian side.

"The size of the RSF force involved in the fight would also give you an idea how large was the Malaysian force they had encountered. This only shows that Malaysia is really bent not to give up its hold on Sabah," said Idjirani.

Idjirani added that the clash in Dengan Tungku was also confirmed by Hajib Mujaha Hashim, chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front's Islamic Command Council.

Meanwhile, the sultanate of Sulu met with representatives of the Bayan Muna party list led by Satur Ocampo to tap the party's help in pushing for the Sabah issue at the House of Representatives.

Idjirani said the Sulu sultanate handed over to Ocampo several legal and historical documents detailing the sultanate's claim over Sabah.
