APPOINTED SULTANS OF SULU & SABAH

Posted by Datu pitung on 8:19 PM

BEWARE OF FAKE
AND SELF-APPOINTED
SULTANS OF SULU & SABAH
The Law of Succession states, whether in Sulu and Sabah, in Royal Sultanate of
Brunei, Malaysian sultanates and in European kingdoms including Saudi Arabia, and
Islamic sultanates in the Middle East, that the son of the Sultan (King) must become
Sultan and, in this case, in the Royal House of Sulu & Sabah, only the sons or male
heirs of HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I must ascend the throne as Sultan. NO
ONE ELSE.
Any one claiming to be sultan but not the son or male heir of HM Sultan Muhammad
Esmail E. Kiram I is an impostor and a fake sultan.
The Law also states that the most capable and most suitable among the male heirs of
HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I, and as proclaimed and recognized by the
Royal Datus and the Sharifs, shall be the current Reigning Sultan. HM Sultan
Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I fulfilled totally the Law of Succession and is the
current 35th Reigning Sultan.
This Law rejects the claims of Jamalul, Ismail and Aghbimuddin including Rodinood and
Kudar Julaspi and other usurpers and fake sultans like them. With this Law the only true
and legitimate Sultan is His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I.
As per LAW OF SUCCESSION of the Royal House of Sulu and Sabah, the throne and
crown of the Sultan of Sulu and Sabah have three (3) strict and distinct provisions:
1) The successor must be the most capable and most suitable among the male heirs
and direct descendants; i.e., sons or grandsons of HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E.
Kiram I (Sultan of Sulu & Sabah 1947 to 1973).
2) The successor must be proclaimed and declared by the Royal Datus and the Sharifs
(descendants of Prophet Mohammed) of Sulu and Sabah as the "Reigning Sultan of the
Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah."
3) The successor must have at least five (5) ancestors who were consecutive Sultans of
Sulu and Sabah to qualify as the Reigning Sultan of the Sultanate of Sulu and North
Borneo/ Sabah.
Any person who claims to be the Sultan of Sulu and Sabah, but who does not fulfill the
provisions of the Law of Succession of the Royal House of Sulu and Sabah, is guilty of
deception and must be rejected and disdained.
Listed below are the names of self-proclaimed sultans. As a public service, we warn the
unsuspecting public, the various governments and the foreign banks that hold the

deposits of the late Sultan of Sulu and North Borneo/ Sabah, not to be fooled and duped
by many false sultans and self-appointed sultans who have no rights to claim the rank
and title as "Sultan" as they masquerade like clowns being a laughing stock as sultans
of Sulu and Sabah.
The public must know there is only one throne and one crown of the Sultan of Sulu and
Sabah -- so only one true and legitimate Sultan of Sulu and Sabah.
The motivations of these self-appointed sultans why they proclaimed themselves
without any right to the crown and throne of Sulu and Sabah are due to personal vested
interest such as:
1) to withdraw the perceived cash and gold assets of the late Sultan of Sulu and Sabah,
and;
2) to be paid by Malaysia to masquerade as sultans to further destabilize the Sultanate
of Sulu and Sabah, to sow confusion, so that the Sultanate will have difficulty to recover
Sabah from the illegal occupation of Malaysia since 1963. Indeed indications pointed
out that Malaysia paid many of these self-proclaimed and false sultans. They are false
sultans because they did not fulfill the Law of Succession to be Sultan of Sulu and
Sabah.
The claims of these self-proclaimed sultans are questionable and fictitious, and their so
called "genealogy and family tree" are fantasies and fairy tales designed to impress and
mislead the public. Their claims are just pigments of their imagination. Their claims as
sultan have no foundation whatsoever.
Their acts and appointments made (such as creation of new royalty or nobility, like
datuk or other awards and any authority relating to the asset recovery of the late Sultan
of Sulu and Sabah in foreign banks) whether written or oral are all null and void ab initio
and non-binding.
The public must not believe these false sultans that they can withdraw the assets of the
late Sultan of Sulu and Sabah in foreign banks, as they fooled many people who gave
them money to recover such assets based on the presented banking coordinates and
banking instruments but failed. Many tried it in Citibank, UBS and Westpac and other
banks but they were apprehended and ended up in jail. Why?
Because fraud and deception are criminal offenses. Plus prudence and wisdom will
dictate that if any asset of the late Sultan of Sulu and Sabah is to be wihdrawn, the only
one who can withdraw them is none other than the true and legitimate Sultan of Sulu
and North Borneo/ Sabah. It is easy to recognize the true and legitimate Sultan -- the
one who fulfilled the Law of Succession.
Only HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I fulfilled the Law of Succession as:
1) he is the last son of HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I and he was declared
the most capable and most suitable among the male heirs;

2) he was proclaimed and declared by the Royal Datus and the Sharifs of the Sultanate
of Sulu and Sabah as the Reigning Sultan of Sulu and North Borneo/ Sabah; and
3) HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad I has seven (7) consecutive Kiram Sultans as
ancestors. From HM Sultan Jamalul Kiram I (Sultan 1823 to 1844) his forefather, plus
five other Kiram Sultans then his father H.M. Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I
(Sultan 1947 to 1973), and eight (8) if we include his brother the last true and legitimate
Sultan of Sulu and Sabah HM Sultan Mahakuttah Abdulla Kiram (Sultan 1974 to 1986).
Thus, HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad I fulfilled these three sacred and strict provisions of
the Law of Succession as the lawful and legitimate Sultan of Sulu and North Borneo/
Sabah.
The FALSE and SELF-APPOINTED sultans listed below are not male heirs of HM
Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (except one), and were not proclaimed and
declared as Reigning Sultan by the Royal Datus and the Sharifs of the Sultanate of Sulu
and Sabah, and they do not have five (5) ancestors who were consecutive Sultans of
Sulu and Sabah, so they have no right to claim the rank and title of Sultan; they are selfappointed and no lawful authority to act as Sultan of Sulu and Sabah.
The acts of these self-appointed sultans are all unlawful and null and void and their
appointments made are also unlawful, and null and void. These false sultans have no
right to the throne and crown of Sulu and Sabah and must be rejected by the public.
LIST OF IMPOSTORS AND FAKE SULTANS OF SULU & SABAH WHO DID NOT
FULFILL THE LAW OF SUCCESSION:
1. MUDARASULAIL KIRAM @ DATU PAIJAL
Paijal Abdul Naim @ Sultan Muidzullail Kiram @ Sultan Mudarasullail Kiram dikatakan
sebagai orang luar yang diragui salasilah kesultanannya. Pendapat mengatakan
bahawa beliau bukanlah keturunan Keluarga Diraja Kiram, sebaliknya mengaku sendiri
sebagai waris keluarga Kiram. Bukan berketurunan HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E.
Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973) dan bukan juga pewaris HM Sultan Mahakuttah A. Kiram
(Sultan 1974-1986). Tuntutannya sebagai Datu boleh dipersoal dan tidak berasas.
Dakwaannya sebagai sultan adalah satu manipulasi terancang untuk mengeliru dan
mengucar-kacirkan Kesultanan Sulu.

Mudarasulail Kiram mendakwa bahawa berdasarkan tali warisan Kesultanan Sulu,

beliau merupakan anak lelaki pertama Almarhum Sultan Mahakuttah A Kiram, yang
merupakan anak pertama Sultan Muhammad Esmail Khan 1 (1947-1973). Dikatakan
telah menetap di Sabah sejak berusia lapan tahun dengan ibu bapa angkat Haji Abdul
Nain yang telah menukar nama (Sultan) atas sebab-sebab keselamatan kepada Paijal
Haji Abdul Nain.

Meskipun mengaku sebagai pewaris Kesultanan Sulu, tetapi Mudarasulail Kiram
akhirnya mengaku bahawa Sabah milik orang (Malaysia).
2. DATU JAMALUL DALUS KIRAM
Sultan Sulu palsu inilah yang menjadi kepala pemberontak yang menceroboh Kampung
Tanduo di Lahad Datu, Sabah.
Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of succession. His father Datu
Punjungan was never a Sultan so as a son he cannot be a Sultan. Not a descendant or
male heir of HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). He lost in his
candidacy as senator on the 14 May 2007 Philippine general elections.
Pernah menjadi calon senator dalam pilihanraya umum Filipina pada 2007, tapi
tewas. (Datu Jamalul Dalus Kiram) Sultan Jamalul Kiram III bin Datu Punjungan (Boetye hitam), dengan bangga bersama permaisurinya (baju merah) bergambar disisi
Yang Dipertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan (Sultan Negeri Sembilan). Dipetik dari
malaysiansmustknowthetruth.blogspot.com.

Jamalul D. Kiram III (lahir pada 16 Julai 1938 di Maimbung, Sulu; memerintah 1974 - 1981,
2012 - sekarang) adalah merupakan Sultan Sulu di Sulu, selatan Filipina ketika era Marcos.
Beliau juga merupakan seorang calon bagi senator dalam Pilihan Raya Filipina 2007.[1] Dengan
persaraan beliau, hak pewarisan kesultanan telah dipertikaikan di kalangan waris seperti
Mohammad Akijal Atti. Pertikaian mengenai hak pewarisan berakhir pada November 11, 2012
apabila semua pihak yang menuntut dari keluarga Kiram bertemu bersama-sama di Sulu,
menamatkan persengketaan panjang sedekad mereka. Selepas mesyuarat keluarga, Jamalul
Kiram III sekali lagi menjadi de facto sultan bersama Ismael Kiram II. Beliau juga
mengisytiharkan Rajah Mudah Agbimuddin Kiram sebagai "putera mahkota".[2]

3. DATU ESMAIL DALUS KIRAM -- Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of
succession. His former name was ISMAIL but he changed it to ESMAIL to mislead the
public that he is directly related to Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I. His father Datu
Punjungan was never a Sultan so as a son he cannot be a Sultan. Not a descendant or
male heir of HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). He was a

candidate in his province of Sulu in the 1992 election as provincial board member but
he was rejected by his own constituents as he lost that election. Imagine a so called
sultan rejected by his own constituents. For to repeat, Esmail was born ISMAIL but he
changed his name to ESMAIL II to show some relation to HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail
E. Kiram I and to deceive the public but he is not a son of HM Sultan Muhammmad
Esmail E. Kiram I but only a HALF-NEPHEW.
4. DATU AGHBIMUDDIN DALUS KIRAM -- Outsider. Not a descendant or male heir of
HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). His father Datu
Punjungan was never a Sultan so as a son he cannot be a Sultan. Jamalul, Esmail and
Aghbimuddin are not members of the Royal blood line of succession who are three (3)
brothers who also installed themselves sultans of Sulu at the same time. No one in
his/her right mind will believe that one family can have three (3) sultans of Sulu and
succeed one another while the 3 are still alive at the same time, when no one died or
abdicated if they were true royalty and true Sultan of Sulu. These 3 brothers are seen
as clowns as they fight each other, with no respect for their own family, that they are
treated with derision, disbelief and a laughing stock.
5. RODINOOD JULASPI -- (FABRICATING HIMSELF A KIRAM). Commoner &
Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of succession. Not a descendant or
male heir of Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). He is not from
Sulu but an Ilocano from the Ilocos region of the Philippines . The grandfather of
Rodinood Julaspi and Kudar Julaspi was Hadjirul, a commoner with no royal blood, who
worked as a horse handler in a horse stable. There is no truth to the claims of Rodinood
and Kudar and his father they are descendants of Sultan Jamalul Kiram II, as the Sultan
was unfortunately impotent, and did not have any male or female offspring. That is why,
when HM Sultan Jamalul Kiram II died in 1936 due to poisoning, the crown and throne
was inherited by his brother HM Sultan Mawallil Wasit Kiram, but unfortunately he died
after six months as Sultan in 1936, as he too was also poisoned -- thus, the son of HM
Sultan Mawallil Wasit, HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I became Sultan, but due
to the onset of World War II, was only crowned Sultan in 1947 to 1973 (the father of the
current Sultan, HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I).
6. KUDAR JULASPI -- (FABRICATING HIMSELF A KIRAM). Commoner & Outsider. Not
a descendant or male heir of Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973).
Rodinood and Kudar Julaspi do not belong to the Royal blood line of succession who
are brothers who proclaimed themselves sultans at the same time, which is an insult to
the intelligence of many as no one in his/ her right mind will believe two (2) brothers can
succeed each other while they are both alive. Kudar is not from Sulu but an Ilocano
from the Ilocos region of the Philippines . Kudar and Rodinood are seen as 2 clowns in
the Sultanate of Sulu & Sabah.
7. IBRAHIM PULALUN -- Commoner & Outsider. A market vendor who could barely
read and write. Not a member of the Royal blood line of succession. Not a descendant
or male heir of Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). Pulalun was
proclaimed using the money of Stan C. Brandenburg, a tax agent, an American claiming

to be the U.S. Ambassador to Sulu and North Borneo/ Sabah, but they had a falling out
and Brandenburg instead supported and installed Bahjin afterwards. Scorned Pulalun
advertised on Zamboanga City newspapers that he had nothing to do with Brandenburg
.
8. DIGNIM PULALUN -- Another unscrupulous usurper and impostor sultan. He is the
son of Ibrahim Pulalun who also installed himself sultan without any lawful rights. So
now you have Ibrahim and Dignim Pulalun (father and son) clowning and masquerading
without rights to be sultan. These father and son are regarded as clowns in the
Sultanate along with the other fake sultans listed hereto. Dignim is a Commoner &
Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of succession. Not a descendant or
male heir of Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973).
9. DR. IBRAHIM BAHJIN -- Commoner & Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood
line of succession. Not a descendant or male heir of Sultan Muhammad Esmail E.
Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). The claim of this man that he is a descendant of Sultan
Shakir ul lah (Sultan 1816 to 1823) is also far fetch, a fantasy, a big lie and fraudulent,
because the direct male heir of Sultan Shakir ul lah was his son Sultan Jamalul Kiram I
(Sultan 1823 to 1844) the great forefather of Sultan Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I.
As per Brunei and Sulu Royal Family Genealogy these are the true facts: The Kiram
Royal Family is the direct descendant of the first Sultan in 1457, that finally descended
to Sulu Sultan Mawallil Wasit (Sultan 1600 to 1640), the son of Brunei Sultan
Muhammad Hassan, further cementing the blood links of the Royal House of Sulu &
Sabah and the Royal House of Brunei as one family. The father of Sultan Jamalul Kiram
I was Sulu Sultan Shakir ul lah (Sultan 1816 to 1823), the direct descendant of Sultan
Mawallil Wasit.
It was Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram I (Sultan 1823 to 1844, son of Sultan Shakir ul lah)
who first used the surname KIRAM, as before him the Sultans of Sulu & Sabah did not
use any surname only their first names.
Thus, in reality the family name KIRAM can be traced back to the year 1600, however,
for clarity due to its first usage we equate the Kiram Royal Family to year 1823 to this
day. Since 1823 up to now the Royal blood line of HM Sultan Jamalul Kiram I and the
blood line of HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947 to 1973) are the
true blood line and successors of the Sultans of the Royal House of Sulu & Sabah.
Bahjins claim he is a descendant of Sultan Shakir ul lah is a lie because the true
descendants are the Royal Kiram Sultans not a Bahjin.
After Pulalun, Stan C. Brandenburg again with his money proclaimed and installed
Bahjin twice, the last proclamation was on July 2006, in Zamboanga City , Philippines .
Brandenburg asked authority from Bahjin to withdraw the assets of the late Sultan of
Sulu in U.S. banks, i.e. Wells Fargo Bank USA amounting to US$47.5 billion, plus
another US bank, but Brandenburg disappeared. Story persisted that thereafter

Brandenburg also withdrew his support to Bahjin, similar to what he did to Pulalun in the
past.
Bahjin claiming he is paramount sultan is another lie, fantasy and a pigment of his fertile
imagination, as never in the history of the Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah that he can point
out that any Sultan was ever called paramount sultan in its more than 600 years of
history. It is just a fabrication and without foundation designed to impress the foreign
banks. When asked why Bahjin proclaimed himself? His answer was "silence, there is
money to be made here."
10. ALIUDDIN HADDIS PABILA/ ADINDA FAMILY -- Descent unknown. Outsider. Not a
member of the Royal blood line of succession. Not a descendant or male heir of HM
Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). The claim of this man and
family that they are descendants of a certain sultan is far fetch and a fantasy as the
story and line of the so called sultan they claimed to be their ancestor are questionable
and long extinct/ dead. Since 1823 up to now the Royal blood line of HM Sultan Jamalul
Kiram I and the blood line of HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947 to
1973) are the true blood line and successors of the Sultans of the Royal House of Sulu
& Sabah.
Pabila claims that his family is the royal family of Sulu is another fantasy and fairy tale
as there are more than 600 Royal Datus/ Princes in Sulu and Sabah, which means
there are more than 600 royal families in the Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah .
Furthermore, Pabila claimed he wanted to help the people of Sulu but this is proven to
be false, as he really wanted to recover the assets of the late Sultan of Sulu and Sabah
in foreign banks for himself, when he contacted a foreign recovery team but he failed,
as the recovery team did not believe his claims and his genealogy/ family tree.
Pabila and his agent Lajamura made noise about the "tartib" and "protocol system."
Tartib means Line of Succession of Sultans of Sulu and Sabah, and yes there is a tartib
in place. As from 1823 the tartib showed HM Sultan Jamalul Kiram I was the Reigning
Sultan, succeeded by various Kiram Sultans -- then to HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E.
Kiram I (Sultan 1947 to 1973), and upon his death his son HM Sultan Mahakuttah
Abdulla Kiram (Sultan 1974 to 1986) was the Reigning Sultan, and finally in 2006
another Kiram Sultan -- HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I ascended as the
35th Reigning Sultan.
From 1823 to this, nearly 2 centuries of the "tartib" there was no mention of any Pabila
or Adinda family being the Sultan of Sulu. Their claims are a distortion of history, a big
lie and a fraud.
Regarding the so called "protocol system" in the Sultanate of Sulu, this so called system
did not give the Pabila Adinda family the right to be Sultan. Why? Because protocol
means the correct form or address and title accorded to royalty, nobility, knighthood,
military, church, or diplomatic service. Pabila and his Adinda family including Lajamura

do not even know the meaning of protocol and they try to present their distorted and
warped reasoning to mislead the public.
Contrary to what Pabila and the Adinda family said, HM Sultan Jamalul Kiram II never
gave up his crown and authority as Sultan, during the forced occupation of the
Americans in 1899, even with the advent of the 1899 Bates Treaty and the 1915
Carpenter Memorandum. Proof: After the death of HM Jamalul Kiram II in 1936, the
Sultan was succeeded by his brother -- HM Sultan Mawallil Wasit Kiram but also died in
1936 (the grandfather of the current Sultan, HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad I). As a result
Sultan Mawallil Wasit Kirams first-born son HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I,
became the Reigning Sultan as from 1947 to 1973.
From 1823 till today and, nor any in future, the Adinda family was not given any right to
rule as Sultan of Sulu, and any assertion by them is a pigment of their imagination,
because the Kiram Royal Line of Succession (the true successors as Sultan of Sulu and
Sabah) are solely and exclusively, the sons or grandsons of HM Sultan Muhammad
Esmail E. Kiram I, as per Law of Succession.
Pabila and his Adinda family live overseas, so suspicions persist that Pabila and his
family are only interested in the assets of the late Sultan of Sulu and to destabilize the
Sultanate of Sulu regarding its aim to recover Sabah .
In reality, since Sabah or North Borneo is owned by the nine Kiram heirs of HM Sultan
Jamalul Kiram II as landowners, (including HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram
I), no one, even the Adinda family has any right to discuss any matter concerning the
Sabah resolution -- except the landowners.
Pabila and Adinda family's declaration of war against the Philippines (since they do not
live in Sulu), is a calculated move to export the battlefield into Sulu, to further
destabilize, sow confusion, and destroy all prospects for peace and developments in the
Sultanate of Sulu. Who will benefit out of this war declaration of Pabila and Adinda
family? Well, your guess is as good as ours.
But Pabila and his family will not succeed. No right-minded Tausug will join this war to
install a false sultan like Aliuddin Haddis Pabila of Adinda family.
HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I, the true and legitimate Sultan of Sulu and
Sabah, together with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the good people of
the Sultanate of Sulu, abhor and reject this war declaration of Haddis Pabila, and we
call on all freedom loving people to repel and stop this idiocy and evil scheme.
11. AYDAL ALIUDDIN -- Commoner & Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of
succession. Not a descendant or male heir of Sultan Muhammad E. Kiram I (Sultan
1947-1973). Arrested and imprisoned in Brunei for impersonating the rank and title of
Sultan of Sulu.

12. MUHD. YAHCUB ALIMUDDIN V -- Descent unknown. Outsider. Not a member of

the Royal blood line of succession. Not a descendant or male heir of Sultan Muhammad
Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). The claim of this man that he is a descendant of
a certain sultan is also far fetch and another fantasy as the blood line of the said sultan
he claimed to be his ancestor is long extinct/ dead. Since 1823 up to now the Royal
blood line of HM Sultan Jamalul Kiram I and the blood line of HM Sultan Muhammad
Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947 to 1973) are the true blood line and successors of the
Sultans of the Royal House of Sulu & Sabah. He is an Indonesian.
13. HAJI MUHD. AL SAGOV VAN ELDIK (A DUTCHMAN) -- Commoner & Outsider. Not
a member of the Royal blood line of succession. Adopted son of the father of Kudar and
Rodinood Julaspi.
14. SENIOR POLICE OFFICER 2/ SERGEANT AKIJAL ATTIH -- Descent unknown.
Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of succession. Not a descendant or
male heir of Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973).
15. DEMETRIA OMAR KIRAM -- (FABRICATING HIMSELF A KIRAM). Commoner &

male heir of Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I (Sultan 1947-1973). A Zamboanga
City hotel in the Philippines is looking for him for failing to pay his hotel bills up to now.
He is not from Sulu.
16. DATU MUEDZUL-LAIL T. KIRAM -- A member of the Royal blood line but not
acceptable and not proclaimed as Reigning Sultan by the Royal Datus and the Sharifs
of the Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah . He is also not acceptable to the major groups of
Sulu. As per his own admission Datu Muedzul-Lail accepted from Stan C. Brandenburg
monthly payment of P50,000 and a Starex van, plus an additional P10 million for himself
and P2 million for his mother-in-law and P3 million for his stepmother, in exchange for
Brandenburg becoming Sulu Prime Minister of Datu Muedzul-Lail, but Brandenburg did
not give him a cent and did not fulfill his promise to pay and instead proclaimed Bahjin
twice. As a result many Sultanate leaders commented "Datu Muedzul-Lail sold his line
to the Royal succession so cheaply which made him incapable and unsuitable to be
Sultan of Sulu." Due to this unfit and improper conduct of Datu Muedzul-Lail, he
eliminated himself to the rank and title of Sultan.
17. JUAN T. DELA CRUZ (FABRICATING HIMSELF AS AMIR KIRAM) -- Commoner &
Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of succession. Many people are looking
for him due to loss of money they gave him as he promised to recover the assets of the
late Sultan of Sulu and Sabah in foreign banks but he disappeared. He is not from Sulu.
18. ALAWI MOHAMMAD KARIM alias ALFONSO SAGUN BAUTISTA alias ALAWI
JULKARNAIN AZAM KIRAM (FABRICATING HIMSELF A KIRAM) -- Commoner &
Outsider. Not a member of the Royal blood line of succession. This man is trying to
claim the assets of the late Sultan of Sulu and Sabah and now called himself a Kiram.

19. ABDULLAH AZAM ATALAD -- Commoner & Outsider. Not a member of the Royal
blood line of succession. This man tried to represent himself as the Sultan of Sulu in the
U.S. Congress but no one believed him and took him seriously. He lives in Mindoro . He
is not from Sulu.
