PUTRAJAYA: One of the self-proclaimed heirs of the Sulu sultanate has been classified as a terrorist by the government.
Khairul Dzaimee Daud, director-general of the Prime Minister’s Department’s legal affairs division, said the home ministry has listed Fuad A Kiram as a terrorist.He said Fuad has been linked to the Royal Sulu Force , an entity also classified as a terrorist group under Section 66B of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. The classification took effect from April 6.
However, he said under the new leadership, the approach had been changed to an “offensive” mode, adding that “the best defence is attack”. Khairul also said the Cabinet had also agreed to the appointment of a UK-based public relations firm to manage the global narrative and media strategy regarding the case. However, he did not reveal the name of the firm. He added that the legal affairs division would engage with stakeholders in Sabah on the case.
