NO INTENT TO KILL, NO INTENT TO PERMANENTLY DISPLACE Q: Sir John, is it an intention of the MNLF-CHINA Sabah Lease Deal to exterminate (kill, murder, execute) the population of Sabah? How about intent to permanently displace the population? A: The answer to that is definitely NO. We would have not published advance information about the eviction if that was our intention. As I have been saying repeatedly in the past few months, the eviction is not hate-driven, it is purely a business decision. It is also our wish that the Malaysians in Sabah are calm before and during the event of eviction. There is no need to panic because clear instructions will be provided to avoid casualties in the rounding up of people and in sending them back to KL. We have no intention to generate casualties. We hope you are calm and the eviction will be completed in an orderly manner. What we can provide is a rusty boat, you might complain on the way to KL from Sabah during eviction. Hence, I suggest you start shopping for decent passenger boats for your own convenience. Those with PH Passport will be shipped to PH. Those with Malaysian Passport will be shipped to KL. Undocumented individuals who have no next-of-kin in PH will be sent to KL. Remember, the eviction is reversible, we can always allow you to return to Sabah for as long as you apply for and pay the rent to China under the sub-lease provision. We have no intent to permanently displace the population in Sabah. I am excited because we are moving inch by inch with the deal with China. My reaching out of my hand to Malaysia should not be misconstrued as a desperate move to get someone to sign a deal. My reaching out to Malaysia is continuous is my compliance to the instructions to keep the doors open to all possible tenants. For your information, Sabah has been divided into six leasable portions, sliced like a pie. China, although she take the obligation to evict Malaysian enterprises in the entire Sabah, only takes one part of the pie for a discounted price. The rest of the five parts is still open for lease to any party and there is a bigger work for me after this lease deal with China. Even after evicting Malaysia from Sabah, I will still have to reach out my hand to Malaysia to offer portions of land in Sabah for lease -- I hope Malaysia will be interested to take a piece.
