MILF COMMANDERS DEFECT TO MNLF -- FELT MILF CHIEF MURAD CONSPIRED WITH MALAYSIA

THE FOUR MILF COMMANDERS WHO APPARENTLY DEFECTED TO MNLF: Samsudin, former chairman of the MILF Council of Ulamas; Salamat, brother of deceased MILF founder Hashim Salamat who allegedly commands 8,000 MILF troops; Jianalan, Murad’s former security chief who commands about 6,500 fighters; Saidale, a new commander of 1,500 armed men.

Gapul Hadjirul, political director of the Moro National Liberation Front central committee, said to Manila Standard Today, “He [Murad] betrayed his supporters when he conspired with the Malaysians in entering into a Framework Agreement that is a deception by the government and a conspiracy with the Americans to attain their secret objective in Mindanao.”

Despite the "look good, feel good" rhetorics, Malaysia has ulterior motives in engineering this deal; part of which is to prevent the Philippines from ever reviving the Sabah claim -- and they have achieved this by funding and supporting secessionist groups in Mindanao; another is to ensure of their potential control of resources-rich Mindanao which the separatists may just hand to them to form part of a larger Malaysia federation. 

DO NOT TRUST MALAYSIA!
