But Datu Agbimuddin Kiram who is also known to close family circles as Datu "Puing" (uncle of Sultan Muedzul Kiram, current reigning sultan of Sulu) who is leading the Sulu group in the Sabah stand-off is facing a "practical dilemma" and so has asked Malaysian authorities for 72 hours reprieve before deportation; they are afraid that because there is a gun ban in PH on account of election season, their guns might be confiscated upon their return to Sulu. The group is still trying to find ways and means to be able to transport their guns back to Sulu without landing in jail or without their guns being confiscated.
