BUKIT Aman has received a report about a group claiming to be heirs of the Sulu Sultanate, who had submitted claims through a notice of arbitration in excess of US$32 billion (RM147.4 billion).

Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the report was lodged by Prime Minister’s Department Legal Affairs Director-General Khairul Dzaimee Daud following a letter of demand addressed to the Malaysian government on July 30, 2019.

“The claim is a threat to national security. PDRM, through Bukit Aman’s Criminal Intelligence Unit, has launched investigations under section 124(k) of the penal code for sabotage.

“PDRM takes seriously any claim that could disrupt public order, especially acts of sabotage against the security, sovereignty and stability of the country, and guarantees a detailed investigation into the matter will be conducted,” he said in a statement today. – Bernama, May 30, 2023.
