Fake sultan Ismail (a.k.a. Esmail) and 3 others selling fake passports of Ismail were detained for 7 days and deported from Sabah!

This is a joint report of Gafur of Jolo, Sulu (former executive secretary of Ismail) and Jul Hamsain of Semporna, Sabah.

Impostor and fake sultan Ismail with his wife, son Bahang and his supporter named Leo Caparas, all from the Philippines, arrived in Sabah on second week of November 2010. Their purpose was to sell the Ismail fake passports to unsuspecting Sabah Tausugs as Ismail and his group felt they can extract some hard cash from the Tausugs in Sabah.

The fake passports were designed and printed by Ismail and his group for sale to the Tausugs. Ismail resorted to selling fake passports to raise money as Ismail’s fake ID cards sold to Tausugs in Sabah and Sulu in the past backfired as the buyers and holders of Ismail’s fake ID cards were arrested and detained and told they were worthless and Ismail was not recognized as Sultan.

Even with the arrests and detention of the buyers and holders of the fake Ismail ID cards, Ismail and his group were so bold to try another scam selling fake Ismail passports. As usual, Ismail and his group who treated the Sabah Tausugs like milking cows and cash cows sold the Ismail fake passports in Sabah.

The Sabah Tausugs complained to the Malaysian authorities and the authorities responding to the complaints ordered the Immigration Department to act quickly.

Thus fake sultan Ismail, his wife, his son Bahang and Leo Caparas were all arrested, their Philippine passports confiscated, detained for seven (7) days and deported from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to Manila, Philippines on the third week of November 2010.

One Ismail supporter asked if Ismail is true Sultan why is he detained for 7 days with his group and then deported? Now Ismail descended to the lowest of the low and put his wife and son in harms way on an unlawful scam selling fake passports.

This is proof absolute that Ismail, his family and his group posturing and faking the sacred rank and title as Sultan of Sulu and Sabah for over 20 years was dealt and given a clear and undeniable message by the Sabah Tausugs and Malaysian authorities, that Ismail is a fake sultan, and he is not welcomed and further rejected and disdained by the Sabah Tausugs numbering over 75% of the total Sabah population.

As a result of this Ismail’s group deportation and unimaginable humiliation and final nail in the coffin of the false claims of Ismail being fake sultan and impostor, his last remaining tiny group of supporters and Panglimas now joined the camp of His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I, The Sultan of Sulu & The Sultan of Sabah, the 35th Reigning Sultan.

Today, the Sabah Tausugs declared allegiance and recognized one true Sultan of Sulu and Sabah only – His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I, no one else. The Sabah Tausugs also remember the beloved Tausug father of His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I, HM Sultan Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947 to 1973).

The Sabah Tausugs clamor for the visit and arrival to Sabah of their beloved Sultan of Sulu and Sabah -- His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I, as they all want to pay their homage to their Tausug Sultan, who is the last son of His Majesty Sultan Esmail E. Kiram I.
