For foreign tourists, the biggest risk is being kidnapped across borders.
In recent years, there have been many incidents of Philippine rebels entering the country, taking hostages, and shooting foreigners.
Just a few months ago, a Taiwanese couple was attacked by Philippine rebels on Boon Boon Boon Island in Sabah, the husband was shot dead and the wife was abducted.
In April 2000, Philippine rebels abducted 21 foreign tourists from Sabah, including 3 Germans, 2 Frenchmen, 2 South Africans, 2 Finns, 1 Lebanese, 2 Filipinos and 9 Malaysians.
According to public information, in the past 14 years, there have been 6 armed hijackings in Sabah, Malaysia, 4 of which have been identified by the Philippine rebels as the culprits by the Malaysian police.
Li Moyang nodded, "There are some basic understandings of Malaysia.
Fu Ming went on to say: "The kidnappers have been kidnapped on dense islands and have fled back to the woods, which has provided convenient conditions for kidnapping and maneuvering."
He went on to introduce that the biggest feature of this area of Sabah is that there are many islands, and they are all scattered in the ocean. It is relatively easy for kidnappers to smuggle at sea. They often arrive in the Sabah area from the Philippines by a few speedboats. Semporna is a county in Tawau Province, Sabah. Unprepared.
After the kidnappings are successful, the kidnappers often flee back to the Philippines with tourists, because the tropical islands where they are entrenched are densely vegetated, the visibility is poor, the militants are familiar with the local situation, and they can easily evade the search of government forces.
Fu Ming concluded: "Generally speaking, the reason why Sabah is not safe is that it is a very uneven territory, and with the cover of natural conditions, there are many cases of cross-border kidnapping of tourists."
Li Moyang asked: "What kind of organization is the Philippine rebels who carried out the kidnapping?"
Fu Ming said: "The Abu Sayyaf rebels are believed to be the culprits in many kidnapping cases, including this incident.
The abduction of foreign tourists in Semporna is not an isolated case, and the governments of the Philippines and Malaysia have unanimously identified the rebels who have long been entrenched in the southern Philippines: the Abu Sayyaf Group, which is only 313 nautical miles from Zamboanga, an important town in the southern Philippines, to Sandakan Wharf in Malaysia, and the Sulu Archipelago, where the Abu Sayyaf Group has been active for a long time, is very close to the east coast of Malaysia, especially Semporna.
Abu Sayyaf means "sword-bearer" in Arabic, and it was founded in 1991 by Filipino Abdullagak Abubakar Jan Galani.
The Abu Sayyaf armed forces are mainly targeting Christians and foreigners, and they raise funds for the organization by demanding ransom from hostages. The Philippine military estimates that the number of Abu Sayyaf armed groups has dropped from nearly 1,000 four years ago to about 300 now. Both the United States and the Philippine government have added it to the list of terrorist organizations.
In the later stages of the Abu Sayyaf organization, there was no clear political appeal.
Muslims in the Philippines, who make up 6% of the population, live in the economically impoverished south, where several rebels have been active for many years, whose goal is to establish an independent Muslim state, and the original intention of the Abu Sayyaf groups is the same.
According to the analysis of Malaysian anti-terrorism experts, although the Abu Sayyaf organization sometimes waives a loud banner in the kidnapping activities, such as "establishing an independent Muslim state", their fundamental purpose is only for ransom. As for the composition of the members, because the Philippines fought very hard in the 10s of the last century, some Filipinos went to Malaysia to beg for a living, and when the Philippines stabilized, they returned. Some of these people joined the rebels, so the kidnappers spoke Malay.
There is an advantage and a disadvantage to the sake of money. Money is not a problem that money can solve, and the disadvantage is that if a ransom demand is met, it will catalyze the next kidnapping.
Li Moyang asked, "Why are you a Chinese tourist again?"
Fu Ming thought for a moment and said: "The Prime Minister of Malaysia believes that the kidnapping incident may be aimed at dividing relations between Malaysia and China."
Since the place of the incident is still in Malaysia, the core figures of the incident still include Chinese personnel, and the aftermath of the Malaysia Airlines incident is still unresolved, and now this kidnapping case has made the relationship between China and Malaysia at the non-governmental level worse.
Yesterday, Malay Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is visiting Australia and coordinating the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger plane, said that after the loss of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, there was another incident of Chinese tourists being kidnapped in Malaysia.
Unfortunately, 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia.
Fu Ming unceremoniously pointed out: "There are some irresponsible Western media that have played a disgraceful role in spreading false news and rumors, and the Western media have stirred up the fragile nerves of the passengers' families and tried to sow discord between China and Malaysia."
Judging from the reaction of the Chinese people, the kidnapping incident objectively seems to have provoked Sino-Malaysian relations.
Generally speaking, the kidnapping of a citizen abroad is sad and anxious, and even if you don't care, you can't be cynical, but when it happens in Malaysia, everything is different.
Li Moyang waved his hand: "These have nothing to do with me, I found you, I know the situation, and I want to inform you, I, I want to save Luo Yan, even if I go alone."
