From GMA News (Oct 20): Malaysian police to remain on alert vs Kiram's followers – report
Despite the death of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, Malaysian authorities said
Sunday they will remain on alert for possible threats from his followers in
Sabah, according to a Malaysian news site.
Sabah Police Commissioner
Datuk Hamza Taib said Malaysian security forces would remain "alert"
for any intrusion by Kiram's followers, Malaysia's The Star Online
reported.
Hamza was also quoted in the report as saying they are still
verifying reports of the sultan's death.
Last February, Kiram's followers
engaged Malaysian forces in a standoff, and in armed clashes last
March.
Kiram's daughter Jacel on Sunday morning said the sultan died at 4 a.m. Sunday.
But Sulu sultanate
spokesman Abraham Idjirani said the sultan had ordered before his death the
repossession of Sabah "for the Filipino people."
Meanwhile, the Star
Online report said the sultan's brother Agbimuddin had "disappeared without a
trace" since Malaysian forces mounted an offensive against the sultan's
followers last March.
