Was he there in the first place?
If he was than how in hell he managed to disappear into the black hole when security was already thightened and the area cordoned off and the police told us Sabahans not to worry that everything is under control.
This is bad news for Sabahans.
If he can escape so easily it can only mean our security people do not know what they are doing, which also mean they can come and go as they wish. They can send for re-enforcement and come in undetected.
As I have mentioned in my earlier post he may not be in there, he may be directing his man from a hotel room somewhere in the Philippines or from a village in Sibutu, Simunul or Bongao, all very near to Lahad Datu.
It's definitely a black eye for our security forces and for the Chief of Armed Forces and the Chief of Police who told reporters at a joint press conference at the Le Meridien Hotel, Kota Kinabalu of the screw-up.
Najib, tell your security people to shape up, or ship out! Their intelligence gathering sucks.
The joke is Azzimudie Kiram is 72 years old, but have the prowess and mobility of a young man.

I just returned from Taiwan a week ago and was amazed how fast the country had developed since my last visit there some 30 years ago.
What really impressed me is the cleanliness, functionality and efficiency of the towns and cities, the efficient public transport system and the helpfulness of the Taiwanese people. The country is now as clean and as efficient as Japan was. Everything is spic and span, no touts, no hustlers, no prostitutes and transvestites hanging around street corners and taxis are everywhere.
In the seventies Taiwan was behind Malaysia and Taipei was one of the fleshpot capitals of the world.Today, the GDP per capita is $38,500.00 and the role has reversed, Kuala Lumpur is becoming the fleshpot of Asia joining the likes of Bangkok and Manila.
If you are a visitor to KL try take an early morning jog along Jalan Bukit Bintang, you be surprised at the array of services available even at 6.30 in the morning. You'll be propositioned by pimps, transvestites, prostitutes and purveyors of massage services of all kind. Not that there is anything wrong with that but its shows we are caught in an economic glum and middle income trap.
The one week I was in Taiwan no taxi driver have tried to cheat or take me for a joy ride to pump up the meter as in my own capital city, Kuala Lumpur.
For all said and done, would I go back to Taiwan? No. it's a country with very little history, except for its National Museum, there were nothing much to see and money and modern technology has scarred its landscape with miles and miles of elevated highways.
Malaysia is still a beautiful country and among all the states, Sabah is the prettiest of them all.
Here, our Minister of Information, Communication and Culture Rais Yatim is talking through his ass saying our cabbies are our nation's social envoys.He said it was necessary to educate some of out taxi drivers and owners to enable them to have good opinion of things.
Well! Mr Yatim I have many bad things to tell you about your cabbies and certainly have no good opinion of these scumbags.
The trouble with our minister, they talked a lot and do very little to make changes. As far as I am concerned the whole taxi fraternity in this country should be overhauled and revamped and every taxi driver must go to a special school to educate them on the correct social etiquette. They must also have firm knowledge of the geography of the city they work in. At the end of the course they should sit for a written and oral examination to test their aptitude. Only those who passed should be issued with a permit to drive a taxi.
The KL taxi drivers are one of the worst in the world, no lack of deplorable disposition, crooked, crude, and rude, giving this country a bad name.
Just a few days ago an American tourist was robbed and raped by a taxi driver . There have been a number of lady passengers raped by KL taxi drivers and till today the government have not done anything to clamp down on this kind of menace to the public by taxi drivers some of whom are drug addicts and sex fiends.
Here, another nut-case, Chairman of SPAD Syed Hamid Albar urged the public to ensure the taxis they boarded exhibited the driver's name card on the dashboard.
These kind of leaders travelled all over the world but keep their eyes shut.
In most civilised countries the driver's photo, permit number and other details is prominently displayed behind the backrest of the front seat that allows passenger a close and clear view of the tag.
In Malaysia where donkeys are given the job, a small tag is placed on the dashboard which surely makes it hard for the passenger to make out. Most passengers sit at the back.
To Rais Yatim I must say I have had many bad experiences with KL taxi drivers and most if not all are crooks and scumbags much to be loathed.
Kuala Lumpur is becoming crime capital of the world and run by a mayor and a police chief who take no pride in making their city a clean and safe place for visitors.
Rais and Hamid Albar, don't just talked, do something concrete to change your fucked up cabbies into humans.
Read below what shame they bring to this country.

Why now!
Musa Hitam, a BN appointee as Chairman of Sime Darby, the largest Malaysian conglomerate, given as token of respect for his political contributions to the country says Pakatan Rakyat will not bankrupt this country
Maybe not, but those who don't know the value of loyalty, can never appreciate the cost of betrayal.
Obviously, Musa either forgets 'which side his bread is buttered,' or he is buying insurance, just in case Pakatan first passed the post and took the chequered flag.
Another probable "cari makan" story.
I too believe PR will not want to bankrupt the country, but that is not the real issue. The controversy is Pakatan's manifesto and bespoke budget, which Musa deemed propitious and was quick to give his support.
It is a policy that will have tremendous effect on the multitude who have no power to reverse a bad policy once passed by Parliament.
Yes, Pakatan populist policy is going to bankrupt the country because what they have proposed is unrealistic, unsustainable and is a foolhardy attempt to fish for votes.
He can fool the spuriously intelligent urban dwellers who, rain or shine, good or bad, will blindly support and follow them to the centre of the earth, but he can't fool the real intelligentsia with uncanny eyes for details.
As in the adage "there is no fool like an old fool" he should have restrained himself.

God news for Sabahans.
It's been long time coming and something good has come out of the armed incursion.
Let's hope they leave in droves and never to come back again to this beloved land of ours.
A culture of violence and barbarity that knows no gratitude nor compassion. We have a duty to respond with equal severity what they have inflicted on us. We shall leave no stone unturned to find them, flush them out and eliminate them.
Read here, bad Suluks fleeing the state.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
The bad rubbish!
A good question to ask is, if they can negotiate our waters to leave, can they also do the same thing to come in under stealthy cover?
Here, an ex deputy general's fart so stinky you can smell it a mile away. Had he been a better leader such incompetence won't happen, he was part of the problem.
