COMMENT Now we have heard it all from former Sabah Chief Minister Harris Salleh.

He wants the federal government to pay RM200 million of our hard-earned money in "compensation" to some riff-raff, for want of a better term, in the Philippines who claim to be "heirs" of the defunct Sulu sultanate. At last count, there were some 60 claimants to the Sulu Sultanship.
