KOTA KINABALU:  Sabah DAP wants the Home Affairs Minister Dato’ Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to come clean over the disappearance of three men from Semporna who were allegedly abducted last September 22 while on the way home.

They want to know whether the trio were ‘taken away’ by the police or other security forces as till today the police have kept mum over the missing persons.
In a joint press statement by Member Parliament for Kota 

Kinabalu, Jimmy Wong, Member Parliament for Sandakan Stephen Wong and State Assemblyperson for Sri Tanjong (Sabah) Chan Foong Hin in Parliament on Wednesday, they urged Zahid to tell the truth.

“We believe that this three persons as well as their immediate family members should know the case against them, stand trial and, if found guilty, be imprisoned, the opposition trio charged.

“Even though they may be terrorist suspects, it is their right to get a clear answer of what was actually going on. The wives are being left in the dark. The authorities should clarify the matter to the wives as they have their children to tend to amidst not knowing what had happened”.

They also want the Home Affairs Minister to answer if the men are being detained or imprisoned without trial under Prevention of Crime Act and if they were taken away by a special task force.

They also want Zahid to respond as to whether the three men had committed any crime or what is it they have done to be detained without trial, and if the detention is related to the measures taken to combat security threats in the EssZone

Mohammad bin Sarail, 50, a pirate taxi operator, Zulfikar bin Omar, 40, a fisherman and Mohammad bin Jobail, 34, a poultry seller were last seen at Mile 4, Apas Road on September 22, while on the way back to Semporna from Tawau.

According to a news report, a witness by the name of Wong saw a red Proton Wira stopped by seven heavily armed men who were in three double-cab vehicles.

The window of the Proton Wira was broken and the passengers had their heads covered in hoods and their hands and feet bound before before being driven away.

Chan said the OCPD of Tawau, ACP Awang Besar Dullah refused to comment when I asked him for more details on the case, after the news report appeared.

Chan also said he conducted a press conference in Tawau with the wives of Mohammad Sarail, Kamsiria bte Sarail and Nuribia bte Lebensuh, 20, the wife of Zulfikar, appealing for information on the whereabouts of their husbands.

Both Kamsiria and Nuribia had also made police reports immediately after the Proton Wira which the men were traveling in, was found by the roadside at Mile 4, Apas Road, the same day.
