The real motives behind the Lahad Datu intrusion拉哈达图入侵事件背后的真正动机
A Malaysian security source sheds new light on the 2013 armed incursion, revealing how rival claims to the Sulu throne and a desperate bid for recognition helped drive the deadly standoff.

IT was billed as a “Sabah Homecoming”. However, it ended in a military intrusion that reshaped Malaysia’s border defence system, and set off a chain reaction of legal fallout, including the US$14.9bil (RM60.9bil) Sulu arbitration.
After travelling deep into the southern Philippines to investigate the Sulu Sultanate family behind the 2013 intrusion into Lahad Datu, Sabah, I sat down this week in Kuala Lumpur with a Malaysian security contact to uncover what really happened on our side of the border, and the hidden motives that drove those fateful events.
