To Our Dearly Beloved Tausug sons and daughters of “The Unconquered Kingdom” of Our Royal Sultanate of Sulu dominions of Zamboanga peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Palawan and those in SABAH, We praise and admire your strong spirit of faith in Islam and your faith in Us as your Sultan.
Our beloved Royal Tausug Sultanate of Sulu (a sovereign kingdom nation state for hundreds of years long before the USA, Philippines and Malaysia became nations), is known the world over as The Unconquered Kingdom, because our Royal Sultanate of Sulu, DID NOT surrender to the might of Spain for over 377 years of brutal conquest by Spain. Spain was the superpower at the time.
Our undaunted and brave Tausug warriors have experienced centuries of War and we are known as the modern Spartans of the ancient past, who were born and bred for War, but practitioners and champions of Peace.
We are the Reigning Sultan of Sulu and Sabah and Head of Islam, because We are the last son of Our beloved father, who was the Sultan of Sulu from 1947 to 1973, and, being His last son by law of Royal succession and Primogeniture, We inherited ALL the rights, titles and positions of Our royal father -- His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I, your benevolent Sultan -- who till his death in 1973 worked tirelessly all his life for the return of Sabah to the Tausugs. NOW we carry on that loyal duty and we will not stop till Sabah is returned to the Tausug Sultanate of Sulu, and to its people, the Tausugs of Sulu and the Tausugs of Sabah that will re-unite them as one people, once more.
Our history shows that Sabah and Palawan, including Spratly Islands, became sovereign domains of the Sultan of Sulu since 1658 to this day. They were gifts eternal by the Sultan of Brunei to His royal cousin, the Sultan of Sulu. The Brunei Sultan as a sign of gratitude ceded Sabah, Palawan and Spratlys to the Sultan of Sulu, due to the vital military assistance given by Our great ancestor, His Majesty Sultan Paduka Batara Shah, who ordered Our more than 2,500 brave “Royal Tausug Army Force,” led by the brave Panglima Illiji, the great ancestor of Our gallant Maas Nur Misuari, that stopped a major rebellion in Borneo and installed the true Brunei Sultan to the throne.
That is why, We say today, the Tausugs of Sulu and Tausugs of Sabah who belong to Sultanate of Sulu with Filipinos own Sabah, Palawan and the Spratlys.
With Sabah added to Our Tausug Sultanate dominions, this will greatly increase the territory and land area of the Tausug Sultanate of Sulu, including an increase of over US$75 Billion Gross Domestic Product each year to our Local Economy, and Our beloved people in Sulu and Sabah will benefit markedly that will alleviate poverty of Our people, once Sabah is returned to us.
It is Islamic, moral, honorable and patriotic duty of every Tausug in Sulu and in Sabah and Filipino, to join the cause of Sabah return to Us, because it is Our land and Our domain, now illegally occupied by Malaysia since 1963 to this day.
To our Tausugs of Sabah and the Tausugs of Sulu We state in the event of Sabah successful return, our Policy is to provide FREE hospitals and FREE medicines, FREE education and FREE community housing for the old, widows, orphans, the sick and the poor. We shall offer FREE retirement villages for our old and aged citizens complete with medical and dental services with entertainment and recreational facilities.
We shall sign and have joint ventures with overseas world class universities to set up their campuses in Our Sultanate dominions, so that Our beloved students can have FREE first class education, with world class standards and diplomas, to prepare them as future leaders of our Great Tausug Sultanate.
We shall build power plants and drinking water facilities to be available at LOW rates to all Our citizens, including modern roads, seaports, airports and vital infrastructures. We shall also provide other infrastructures needed by Our people and We will fund and assist business and industry to flourish to provide needed jobs, with the LOWEST TAX levied to Our citizens. Our dearly beloved Tausugs of Sulu and Sabah with Filipinos will benefit from the return of Sabah to Us, as one domain again of the Tausug Sultanate of Sulu.
Today, we call on Our brave and resolute Tausug people of Sabah who number over 70% of the population, to be strong in faith and to be calm in the face of this current crisis. We, Our Royal Family, and Our Royal Cabinet, along with the valiant Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) led by its gallant Chairman Nur Misuari, stress Our aim and concern to save lives of Our Tausug and Filipino people coupled with their families to be safe from harm and away from danger in Sabah.
To Our dearly beloved Tausugs of Sulu and Sabah, in Our heart of hearts, We say to you We have not forgotten you, for you are Our sons and daughters of our Great Tausug Sultanate of Sulu, divided by Sulu Sea, but We are united by Our undiluted Unconquered Proud Tausug Warrior blood, own language, Our unique arts and culture, bonded and etched in Islamic faith, customs, traditions and practices, that made us truly unique as a kingdom and group of people.
We, with MNLF Chairman Nur Misuari and the gallant and valorous MNLF, urge Malaysia to exercise maximum tolerance and restraint so that this dispute is resolved by peaceful means. We, with our “Royal Tausug MNLF Defense Force” will continue to press for the return of Sabah to the Tausug Sultanate of Sulu that will benefit the Tausugs of Sulu and the Tausugs of Sabah with the Filipinos.
We say to Malaysia not to pursue a policy of “ethnic cleansing” against the helpless and innocent Tausugs and Filipino civilians in Sabah. Human rights violations of Malaysia against innocent civilians, will only further add to the anger and hatred of the Tausugs and Filipinos, wanting to seek justice and revenge, against Malaysian brutalities.
Lastly in the final analysis, We remind everyone Our central policy is peaceful Sabah resolution, plus friendship, harmony, greater understanding and solidarity of all religions that will bring us peace and ultimate economic prosperity, we all deserved as peace loving people. Allah bless you and yours.
