PETALING JAYA: A 53-year-old man in Tawau has been sentenced to 105 years in jail and 70 strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to seven charges of raping his eldest child.

The accused, charged under Section 376(3) of the Penal Code, was said to have emotionally coerced the victim, now aged 25, by harping on the sacrifices he made to cover family expenses and her education, before forcing her to book a hotel room where she was raped, reported Sinar Harian.

The accused was said to have obtained the victim's work schedule to identify her off days before instructing her to book a hotel room.

The offences were said to have been committed at several hotels in the district between December 2025 and March 2026.

Judge Ahmad Faizadh Yahaya also ordered the accused to undergo counseling sessions throughout his imprisonment and to be placed under police supervision for three years after completing his prison term.

The same accused had also been ordered to serve 165 years in prison and to be whipped 110 times after pleading guilty to 11 charges of raping two of his biological daughters, now 25 and 22, at the Lahad Datu Sessions Court on April 8.

The offences were said to have been committed at various locations in Lahad Datu between 2016 and 2026.

Deputy Public Prosecutors Muhammad Haikal Md Yatin and Wildan Firdaus Ahmad Fazly prosecuted while the accused was unrepresented.

Nonsense.

Tawau is one of the most ethnically diverse areas in Malaysia, with the Bugis forming the largest single ethnic group. The population also features a rich mix of indigenous Sabahans (such as the Bajau, Suluk, Tidung, and Murut), ethnic Chinese (predominantly Hakka), Cocos Malays, and a significant number of Indonesian and Filipino immigrants. [1, 2, 3]

Who are the Bugis people?

The Bugis are an ethnic group originally from South Sulawesi, Indonesia, renowned historically as skilled seafarers, traders, and boat builders. Over the centuries, they migrated across Maritime Southeast Asia, establishing major communities in Malaysia (especially Sabah and Johor) and Singapore. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Genetic Relationship with Malays: Closely Related
Genetically, Bugis and Malays are close relatives. [1]

• Shared Ancestry: Both groups belong to the broader Austronesian language family and ancestral stock. This means they share a broad, ancient genetic foundation. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Genetic Distinctions: Population genetic studies published in journals like Nature show that the Malays of Peninsular Malaysia are divided into sub-ethnic clusters. Over centuries, localized gene flows (such as infusions from South Asian, Chinese, or local indigenous Orang Asli populations) created subtle genetic variations between mainland Malays and the Bugis, whose primary genetic lineage traces back to South Sulawesi, Indonesia. [1, 2, 3]

Ethnic and Political Classification
How the Bugis are viewed ethnically depends entirely on the country you are in.

• In Malaysia and Singapore (Pan-Ethnic Inclusion): The Bugis are officially classified under the larger "Malay" umbrella (or Bumiputera in Malaysia). Because they share the Islamic faith, follow similar customary values, and heavily assimilated into local sultanates (such as in Johor and Selangor), they are legally and socially integrated into the broader Malay pan-ethnicity. Many refer to themselves as "Melayu Bugis" (Bugis-Malays). [1, 2, 3, 4]
• In Indonesia (Separate Ethnicities): The Bugis and Malays are strictly recognized as two entirely separate ethnic groups. "Malay" (Suku Melayu) generally refers to the native populations of Sumatra, the Riau Islands, and coastal Borneo. The Bugis (Suku Bugis) are viewed as a distinct ethnic group native to Sulawesi with their own unique language, custom (adat), and history. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

So they are basically Austronesians which means no need to guess... Muuds again LOL.

Southern. Philippine Sulus are not Malays.
A Sulu at one time was also chief minister of Sabah state tun mustapha.

Sulus have been sailing freely and living between Sabah and South West Philippines for hundreds of years before borders were created.
