Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On18.11.2015
DAP expresses deepest condolences to the family of Bernard Then, the Malaysian hostage from Sandakan who was kidnapped 6 months ago by Abu Sayyaf terrorist militants and reportedly killed in Philippines. His shocking murder is a reminder of not only a national security failure in Sabah, where terrorists can enter,rob, kidnap and murder at will into Sabah, but also a failure to ensure his safe return.
It is a shame that Sabahans, especially in Sandakan, no longer feel safe in their own country.
No words can console Bernard Then’s family of their irreplaceable loss. DAP hopes that Bernard Then’s tragic sacrifice will not be in vain by ensuring that there will be no more kidnaps and murders of innocent Malaysians by the Abu Sayyaf militants.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼国会议员于2015年11月18日在吉隆坡发表的文告
民主行动党仅此向邓德宏家属深挚致哀。据报道，被菲南武装分子阿布沙耶夫绑架6个月的大马公民邓德宏已经被害。邓德宏的被害让人震惊，提醒了我们沙巴州的国防安全已经失效，恐怖分子可以自由进出沙巴杀人掳掠，同时也不能确保他安全归来。
这对沙巴人来说是一项耻辱，特别是山打根人，身在他们自己的国家不再感到安全。
任何话语也已经无法抚慰邓德宏的家属，一切已经无法弥补。民主行动党希望邓德宏 不是就这样平白无辜地悲剧性牺牲，当局必须确保大马公民不再受到阿布沙耶夫武装分子的绑架与杀害。
