My opinion on the Lahad Datu Suluk invasion in Sabah and why the Dayaks are angry.

Kita ni sebenarnya 'Dayak'...which just means people of Borneo.It does not mean we Sabahans exclusively belong to Kalimantan dayaks or any other dayak races in Borneo. It's just a loose term to describe the original and native people of Borneo which can have different traditions and religions even. Dayaks in Kalimantan refer to the Kadazandusun in Sabah as Dayak Kadazan-dusun and Ibans as Sea Dayak or Dayak Iban. All the other native races in Borneo also has the word Dayak in front of them. It's only in Malaysia that the word Dayak is usually used in describing the ethnics that are mainly in Sarawak.In Malaysia, the word "Kadazandusun" is used to represent the over 40 sub-ethnic groups like this list: Suku-suku yang membentuk Kadazan-Dusun, terdiri dari 41 suku, yaitu:
Bisaya
Bonggi
Bundu
Dumpas
Gana
Garo
Idaan
Kimaragang
Kolobuan
Kuijau
Labuk
Lingkabau
Liwan
Lobu
Lotud
Lundayeh
Makiang
Malapi
Mangkaak/kunatong
Minokok
Murut
Ngabai
Paitan
Pingas
Rumanau
Rungus
Sinobu
Sinorupu
Sonsogon
Sukang
Sungai
Tagahas
Tatana
Tangara
Tidong
Tindal
Tobilung
Tolinting
Tombonuo
Tuhawon
Tutung

Coastal populations in Borneo are largely Muslim in belief, however these groups (Tidung, Bulungan, Paser, Melanau, Kadayan, Bakumpai, Bisayah) are generally considered to be Islamized Dayaks, native to Borneo, and heavily influenced by the Javanese Majapahit Kingdoms and Islamic Malay Sultanates.

Other groups in coastal areas of Sabah, Sarawak and northern Kalimantan; namely the Illanun, Tausug, Sama,Suluk and Bajau, although inhabiting and (in the case of the Tausug group) ruling, the northern tip of Borneo for centuries, have their origins from the southern Philippines. These groups are not Dayak, but instead are grouped under the separate umbrella term of Moro.

I think these ethnics at least have stayed in Sabah since a long time ago so they are considered native anyway. This just clarifies the difference between Dayaks and non-Dayaks.

This is why the Dayaks especially those in Kalimantan feel that they have the right to defend Lahad Datu from the Suluk invaders because they believe that Borneo belongs to the Dayak People as even if Borneo 'dibawah naungan 2 negara tapi bangsa Dayak tetap bersatu'.

I'm not condoning war or violence.I'm just explaining their rationale.

I'm sure everyone in Sabah just wishes that these disrespectful invaders just leave Sabah.We don't want bloodshed but can you blame us if we feel like killing them to defend our land and families? It is a perfectly understandable feeling caused by fear and anger that they can just take over your home anytime with no regards of the law. If they can do this, next they'll be robbing, murdering..again with no regards of the law.Yes you can be a church going or devote Muslim praying for peace but when your home and family is threatened, will you,at that crucial moment just kneel down and pray? No. You will fight.Or you will run.

Government conspiracy or not.(and really I'm sick and tired of these political tuduh-menuduh, sia pun tetau sepa yang betul). I feel everyone just wants a piece of Sabah. Even Kadazandusun leaders are divided.Does anyone even care? (I know you may think I'm biased but I know my dad cares) UPKO even wanted to go out of BN but decided not to because Najib finally promised to do the RCI( Royal Commission Inquiry) on the immigrant crisis in Sabah.Google it to read more.

Anyway, in regards to the Lahad Datu situation, I'd prefer to fight. Peace loving as we are but Sabahan buli bangkit lawan ka if suda tepaksa? atau semua jadi penakut? Ba kalau gitu.. P la kamu singgarung sama tu Suluk tanda welcome :)
