Mohamaddin Ketapi was speaking at a campaign for the2020 Sabah state election which he allegedly insulted Malaysian security forces who fought during the2013 Lahad Datu standoff by saying that the fight between 235 militants from the Philippines and the Malaysian army was just a 'theatre play'.

Following public backlash, Mohamaddin offered his apology but not before asserting that the speech was taken out of context.^[8]
