TAWAU: The High Court was told by one of the men charged with engaging in terrorism in Sabah that he was asked and paid to do so by someone.

Hooland Kalbi, who spoke in the Bajau language and translated by the court interpreter, said he was foolish for doing so, but judge P. Ravinthran told the court interpreter to explain to him (accused) that it was not necessary for him to say that as his plea would only be recorded after he had obtained a lawyer.

Hooland was among the eight Filipino charged in the High Court here today with engaging in terrorist activities in Sabah. Two of them were also charged with waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

This is the second time that a charge for waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is made in the country after an incident by the Al Maunah group at Bukit Jenalik Sauk, Perak, in 2000.

Meanwhile, Timhar Hadir, who is also charged with engaging in terrorism, told the court that he entered Malaysia last February using an international passport.

He was prevented from saying more by Ravinthran without consulting his lawyer.

Another accused charged with the same offence was Habil Suhaili, believed to be in his 60s, who took quite sometime to understand the charge made against him.

The charge was read to him several times in Suluk.

Habil said he did not commit the offence, but was told by the judge that his plea would not be recorded.

The first accused, Atik Hussin Abu Bakar, who spoke in Bajau, sought the court to explain the charges made against him.

Besides being charged with engaging in terrorism, he is also charged with waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The other four accused, Lin Mad Salleh, Basad Manuel, Kadir Uyung and Lating Tiong, said they had nothing to say.

Basad is charged with engaging in terrorism and waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, while Lin is charged with engaging in terrorism.

Kadir and Lating are charged with protecting the terrorist group.

All the accused were not allowed bail.

Meanwhile, journalists and photographers covering the case were strictly monitored by armed policemen.

Only one journalist from each media organisation is allowed into the court and they are only allowed to bring in their note book and pen.

No foreign journalist is seen covering the proceeding today. - Bernama

ANGGOTA polis mengawal ketat salah seorang dari lapan pengganas Kiram selepas didakwa di Mahkamah Tinggi, Tawau, Sabah, semalam. - UTUSAN/AMIR HAFIZ ABD. RAHMAN

TAWAU 21 Mac - Seorang lelaki pengikut kumpulan pengganas Kiram yang dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini mendakwa tindakannya menceroboh Lahad Datu adalah kerana diarah dan dibayar oleh seseorang.

Holland Kalbi yang menghadapi tuduhan di bawah Seksyen 130KA Kanun Keseksaan kerana menganggotai kumpulan pengganas turut menyifatkan tindakannya itu sebagai bodoh.

Bagaimanapun Hakim P. Ravinthran menjelaskan pengakuan itu tidak direkodkan kerana tertuduh tidak diwakili peguam bela manakala prosiding berkenaan hanya untuk membacakan pertuduhan kepada tertuduh-tertuduh bagi mencatatkan sama ada mereka memahaminya atau tidak.

Majoriti daripada mereka berkulit sawo matang, berambut pendek, berkumis dan ada yang berjambang tidak menunjukkan sebarang reaksi apabila dibawa masuk ke kandang saksi sebelum setiap pertuduhan dibacakan sama ada dalam Bahasa Suluk atau Bahasa Bajau.

Mereka yang mirip warga tempatan itu memakai baju lokap, digari dan dipakaikan jaket khas berwarna putih (straight jacket) atas alasan keselamatan dan bagi melancarkan prosiding pendakwaan itu.

Seorang daripada mereka, Artik Hussin bertanya dalam Bahasa Bajau kepada Hakim P Ravinthran: “Apakah hukuman terhadap kami?“ Dia berkata demikian apabila Ravinthran bertanya sama ada dia mempunyai sebarang aduan untuk dikemukakan.

Ravinthran kemudian mengarahkan jurubahasa menerangkan kepada tertuduh sebab dan hukuman terhadap pertuduhan yang dihadapinya.

8恐怖分子高庭面控‧4月12日再過堂

（沙巴‧斗湖21日訊）8名被控策劃恐怖活動和向國家元首宣戰，而面對終身監禁和死刑控狀的菲律賓恐怖分子，今日被帶到斗湖高庭面對提控。

他們昨日已在充當臨時推事庭的拿篤警局過堂，並被諭令帶到斗湖高庭提控。8名被控的男子今日在庭上並沒有認罪記錄。

年齡介於17至66歲的8名被告是在刑事法典121條文，即向國家元首宣戰下被提控。他們在承審法官拉溫特蘭面前審訊時，全程被嚴密監察，其中7人更被穿上白色的“直筒形外套＂。

8名被告也同時面對刑事法典130KA條文，即涉及恐怖活動的控狀，若罪成可被判終身監禁和罰款。

總檢察長丹斯里阿都干尼今日在副檢察司莫哈末杜蘇齊莫達及檢察組（政策）副主任拿督諾丁哈山的協助下，在庭上提控8人。控狀是以國文宣讀，並被翻譯成巴夭文和蘇祿文。

高庭過後擇定4月12日將案件再次過堂，以瞭解總檢察司的討論結果，是否讓菲律賓的檢察司理事會或被告本身的律師代為辯護。
