Cops tracking another Malaysian linked to Sabah mess

From GMA News (Apr 4): Cops tracking another Malaysian linked to Sabah mess

Malaysian authorities are looking for a second Malaysian who reportedly can shed light on the entry by followers of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III into Sabah earlier this year.

Sabah deputy police commissioner Datuk Tan Kok Liang identified the Malaysian as Clarence Luing Karl a.k.a. Muhammad Khalil John L. Karl, 57.

"Clarence's last address was in Kampung Bawang, Tamparuli, about 45 minutes drive from Kota Kinabalu town," Tan said, according to a report on Malaysia's The Star Online.

The Star Online cited initial investigation showing Clarence, who holds the title Datuk Seri - a state title conferred to someone who contributed greatly to the nation - is still in Sabah.

Tan urged Clarence to surrender, and asked the public to provide information about his whereabouts.

Last Monday, another man with the title "Datuk Seri" who was linked to the incident - Muhammad Ridzwan Sulaiman - surrendered to police.

He denied knowing Sultan Jamalul Kiram III but was detained under the Security Offenses Act (Special Measures) 2012 (Sosma), Malaysia's Bernama news agency reported.

Kiram's followers entered Sabah last February and engaged Malaysian security forces in a three-week standoff, which ended with deadly clashes March 1 and 2.

The deadly clashes prompted Malaysian security forces to conduct offensives against Kiram's followers starting March 5.
