Latest Sulu claims over Sabah, US$15b demand is ‘extortion by vultures’, says Azalina

Kuala Lumpur: The latest demand from the United Tausug Citizens group for US$15 billion and recognition over Sabah is akin to an “extortion scheme”, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

Azalina also said that she had discussed the Sulu case and the risk of TPLF to state sovereignty at the 2024 Commonwealth Law Ministers Meeting in Paris recently. On Saturday, Azalina revealed that UTC, a self-styled group of the People of the Sultanate of Sulu, had asked the Malaysian government for an immediate payment of US$15 billion in “Cession Money” and recognition of UTC as a sovereign and independent “State Kingdom”.
