PM advises people not to believe rumours that security has been undermined

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today advised the people, particularly those in Sabah, against believing rumours that the country’s security has been undermined by the armed intrusion in Lahad Datu and nearby areas.

The prime minister Najib Tun Razak said the shooting incidents were confined to three locations – Lahad Datu, Semporna and Kunak.“Rumours are unfounded and not based on the actual situation. The people of Sabah should not be fearful of their safety,” he told reporters after opening the main campus of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) in Pauh near here.

Najib Razak said the security forces were undertaking operations at the three locations in accordance with the situation.“Let’s give them the opportunity and time to carry out their operations and overpower the group and rescue those in need,” he said.
