HRH Rajamuda Muedzul-lail T Kiram is one of the three legitimate claimants to the throne of the Sulu Sultanate. The other two legitimate claimants are Sultan Esmail Kiram II and Sultan Jamalul Kiram III. 

For information, please be warned that Datu Fuad Kiram (shown left), the uncle of the Rajamuda who has been excommmunicated by the houses of Sulu's three legitimate claimants to the throne for illegal misrepresentation, has been operating on Facebook as sultan Fuad Kiram along with a certain Omar Kiram (not a Kiram in reality* but is fraudulently presenting himself to be a prince marshal of Sulu and Sabah). The two have been bestowing illegal European sounding nobility titles to just about anyone on Facebook. 

Fuad Kiram cannot be considered a legitimate claimant to the sultanate of Sulu throne because he is not in direct line of succession but remains a royal datu. Furthermore, Datu Fuad Kiram has been excommunicated by the houses of Esmail Kiram II, Jamalul III and Muedzul-lail T Kiram for fraudulently usurping the throne and for abandoning his wife and daughter Habiba.

NB: "Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) Founder and chairman and Tausug warrior Professor Nur Misuari has told the administrators of this blog in conversations late last year that he does not know where Mr Omar Kiram comes from and confirmed that Mr Omar Kiram who is pretending to be a prince of Sulu and Sabah is not a Tausug. 

Professor Misuari also informed us that he received Datu Fuad Kiram and Mr "Omar Kiram" sometime during the first part of the decade purely out of courtesy but the act does not imply in any way his recognition of Datu Fuad Kiram as sultan of Sulu. Furthermore, during our conversations with him, Professor Misuari refused to address Fuad Kiram with the title of sultan and insisted on referring to him as Royal Datu Fuad Kiram.

RAJAMUDA MUEDZUL T. KIRAM DENOUNCES UNCLE DATU FUAD KIRAM FOR TRYING TO USURP THE SULTANATE OF SULU THRONE

Problems facing the Sultanate of Sulu are mounting because of the smear campaign tactics by Omar Maniquis against the other members of the Kiram family in order to promote Datu Fuad A. Kiram as the reigning sultan of Sulu despite evidences that point to the fact that Datu Fuad is far from being the successor to the sultanate of Sulu throne.

Based on our interviews with many legitimate members of the Royal Kiram family, we have come to the conclusion that the motive of Omar Maniquis, who has been using the name of "Omar Kiram", for promoting discord in the Sultanate of Sulu is purely monetary. 

Because we believe that the Philippine national claim to Sabah is contingent upon the unity of the sultanate of Sulu, we continue to gather facts for all may know. To defend the Philippine Sabah claim effectively, it is essential to unmask the charlatans from among those claiming to be members of the Royal Kiram family.

Rajamuda Muedzul T. Kiram's website carries the following post denouncing his uncle Datu Fuad Kiram for trying to usurp the Sulu sultanate throne: http://kiramfamily.blogspot.com/2011/01/dymm-rajamuda-muedzul-lail-t.html

*Photo shows Rajamuda Muedzul-lail T Kiram (left) in better times with his uncle Datu Fuad Kiram (shown right in photo) who has since declared himself Sultan of Sulu and Sabah despite overwhelming evidences that he cannot be a legitimate pretender to the throne of Sulu and Sabah.

Shameless claims by Fuad Kiram contradicted by official Sulu Government website

Claims by Datu Fuad Kiram and his handler, a certain Omar Maniquiz who is purporting to be a prince of the Tausugs, that Fuad Kiram has been recognized by the Provincial Government of Sulu as the legitimate sultan of Sulu can not be more untrue. 

Fuad Kiram maintains in various fora that he has been recognized the legitimate sultan of Sulu by the Governor of Sulu no less. But researches have proven that Mr Fuad Kiram has lied. The official website of the Province of Sulu does not list the name of Fuad Kiram as sultan of Sulu but lists all the names of the different members of the Sultanate who had been officially recognized the legitimate sultans of Sulu and Sabah since the beginning.

Datu Fuad Kiram's pretensions and claims are therefore based on lies.  The claim by Fuad Kiram and his handler, an individual going by the name of Omar Kiram who is himself shamelessly sporting a fake title, that Governor Tan has recognized Fuad Kiram as the legitimate sultan of Sulu has been discovered to be a myth and can only be considered a product of the over fertile imagination of a charlatan.
