The Sabah Government will make a contribution to the families of the servicemen killed while fighting the Sulu armed men who invaded Semporna and Lahad Datu in mid-February this year.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Aman announced this to the media at a press conference following the State Cabinet meeting earlier today.
He said, the State government would contribute RM100,000 to the widows and families of those killed in action and a sum of RM50,000 to each of the security personnel who have been severely injured.
Furthermore, the Chief Minister revealed that the State Government will also consider extending more support to the widows and their children in the future.
Eight Malaysians have been killed since the Sulu intruders landed in Lahad Datu on March 1st. The Royal Malaysian Police are continuing to track down the remaining armed followers of Jamalul Kiram III who claims to be the Sultan of Sulu.
“The State Government and Malaysians throughout Sabah greatly value and appreciate the contributions and sacrifices of the security forces in defending the country’s sovereignty,” said Musa. – Insight Sabah
