The camp of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III on Tuesday belied Malaysian officials' claim that a "general" of its armed group in Sabah had been killed in Malaysian operations there.
Sultanate spokesman Abraham Idjirani claimed their last conversation with the sultan's brother Raja Muda Azzimudie Kiram showed Haji Musa is still alive, radio dzBB reported.
Musa was a "general" of the Kiram followers. Sabah police commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib was quoted in a report of The Star Online as saying Musa's body was recovered from the site of the Malaysians' offensives.
On the other hand, Idjirani was quoted in Tuesday night's dzBB report as saying no member of Azzimudie's group had been arrested Tuesday.
Malaysian forces have been hunting down Kiram's followers since a series of deadly clashes starting March 1. The Malaysian offensive started March 5.
While Kiram had offered a unilateral ceasefire, Malaysia has rejected it and continues to demand his followers' surrender without conditions.
