Probably it is a Spatial Reference System related problem: you should
specify the source shapefile SRS. Have a look at the KML file and see if
the points have different coordinates, and see what SRS has been
declared for it. Have a look at the -a_srs, -t_srs and -s_srs options of
ogr2ogr.

Try with no space between MySQL and :, and specifying the database name
before any other option:

ogr2ogr -f KML sisint.kml
MySQL:'afetler,host=localhost,user=root,password=mysql_pswd,port=3306,tables=sisint' -sql "SELECT latitude,longitude,sisint from sisint"

All the best
