#KiniNews: Mohamaddin apologises over remarks on Lahad Datu incursion
Warisan MP Mohamaddin Ketapi has apologised for his remarks that allegedly insulted security personnel who fought against intruders during the 2013 Lahad Datu standoff in Sabah.
In a statement, the Lahad Datu representative said that a speech of his, during the Sabah election campaign trail, had been misinterpreted. He stressed that he did not have any intention to hurt members of security forces.
In the short video clip which went viral early Monday, Mohamaddin had told voters at the village that the 2013 incident was only a 'sandiwara' (staged act) by the federal government then.
He claimed that the Umno-led government had done so to secure support from Sabahans in the 13th General Election, which was conducted later in the same year.
