Of Sulu, Muslim sultanates, and Sabah and Sarawak leases

Sunday, 05 February 2012 10:33 posted by sulu in here


The Sultan of Brunei who originally ruled Sabah ceded it to the Sultan of Sulu in 1704 as a reward for helping suppress an uprising in his domain. In 1878, the Sultan's successor, Jamalul Azam, leased the territory to William Cowie and Baron von Overbeck for 5,000 Malaysian Dollars.

Overbeck was then the Austrian consul at Hong Kong and former local manager of the British opium firm of Dent and Company.


This territory rightfully belongs to the Sulu Sultan

Sabah must be returned to Phillipines and Sarawak must be returned to Brunei.

Kejayaan Malaya Di Sabah Setelah Pembentukan Malaysia

Oleh James Ait

Setelah Perjanjian Malaysia ditandatangani oleh wilayah Singapura, Malaya, Sabah dan Sarawak, maka dunia mencipta satu lagi sejarah selepas perang dunia di asia, ia itu penyatuan wilayah menjadi sebuah negara bernama Malaysia.

Agak sedih kerana tanpa pengetahuan Sabah dan Sarawak, Singapura samada dikeluarkan atau menarik balik atau sememangnya telah bermain wayang untuk memikat Sabah dan Sarawak supaya bersetuju membentuk Malaysia. Suatu tanda tanya yang tidak pernah terjawab samada oleh Singapura atau Malaya, ialah kenapa wilayah rakan kongsi Sabah dan Sarawak tidak dijemput berbincang mengenai Singapura tidak bersama-sama Malaysia.

Some lies for BN to answer

By Daniel John Jambun

The Barisan Nasional had said it many times that they will “answer the opposition’s lies” (menjawab tohmahan-tohmahan pembangkang) and recently we are told that Sabah BN will have its own body to work on these answers. As a member of the opposition I am naturally challenged about such so-called lies and I am very interested to hear what BN has to say about a few ‘lies’ that we have been repeating over the years. I would therefore like to volunteer my services to this body (to answer our lies) by providing a list of such lies. I of course expect this body to answer all these lies as clearly and as convincingly as they can as soon as possible:

S'pore won't return, but if Umno keeps on bullying, Sabah and Sarawak may leave

Expelled Pas legislator Hassan Ali’s theory that Dap will eventually push for Singapore’s return to Malaysia, a scare-mongering tactic in reverse, does not hold water.

This reminds us of Singapore veteran Lee Kuan Yew warning his people not so long ago that the island may have to return to Malaysia, literally on bended knees, if it fails to make its way in the world.

There are many reasons why Singapore will not or cannot return to Malaysia but a few salient points will suffice for the moment to put the point across.

Sabah duo on the run

KUALA LUMPUR: A 41-year-old Sabah politician, who is a Datuk and an Umno division assistant chief, has fled the state after learning that his office was raided over false claims involving a RM43mil contract for mechanical and electrical maintenance work with Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).

A department director at the university is also being investigated and his office was raided as well by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers.

He is also said to have fled the state.

Sources said the two men had allegedly made false claims amounting to millions of ringgit although no work was done since the contract was awarded 36 months ago.

Rafizi squashes KJ in London debate

“Khairy was good, but Rafizi was better” was the considered opinion of various members of the audience when asked to comment on the dynamic battle of wits between Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and PKR’s strategic director Rafizi Ramli.

What a shame that Malaysians at home missed a lively, stimulating and exciting debate because this is what intellectual discourse is all about. No slanging matches. No name-calling atypical of the usual parliamentary exchanges across the floor of the Dewan Rakyat.

‘Borneo alliance’ agreed in principle

By Luke Rintod of FMT

SAPP asks  for more time to weigh its
participation in the Borneo alliance.

KOTA KINABALU: An inaugural meeting to form a United Borneo Alliance (UBA) succeeded only to have an “agreement in principle” as one of the participants, the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), wanted time to deliberate on it before formalising their participation.

The meeting yesterday saw the participation of representatives from three local groupings – State Reform Party (STAR), SAPP and the yet-to-be-registered Usno Baru.

It was chaired by Ismail Gimbad, 71, a former Sorob (now Kadamaian) assemblyman who is not a member of any of the parties.

Crooked courts give ‘native’ titles to foreigners

Chief Judge of the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak Richard
Malanjum says that under the common law, Native Customary
Rights (NCR) pre-existed any statutes and land laws.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Corruption and abuse of power in the Sabah Native Courts is so bad that even Chinese nationals from Hong Kong and Taiwan have managed to become “natives” in the state, according to Chief Judge of the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak Richard Malanjum.

“There are citizens from Hong Kong and Taiwan who have been given the status of native (anak negeri). Judges of the Native Courts gave them the ‘Sijil Anak Negeri’. There are cases, it is a fact.

Now rakyat wants Anifah to be replaced in Kimanis !

By Raymond Tombung

KOTA KINABALU: In what appears to be an open confrontation for change, ‘hundreds of Umno members’ in P. 176 Kimanis are demanding that a new candidate be allowed to contest in place of Datuk Anifah Aman to represent the P. 176 Kimanis constitutency in the next general election.

In an interview here yesterday, leaders of the group which are mobilising what they call a Leadership Transformation Movement, said they are demanding for this change because Anifah, who is Malaysia’s current Foreign Minister has been in the Member of Parliament for the area too long and it is time to replace him. So far three demonstrations to voice out this demand had been held, the first in Dewan Kg. Pimping on January 21, 2012, the second in Dewan Lama Pekan Bongawan on the following day, and the third for two days on January 23 to 24 in Dindong, Kg. Bambangan, Membakut.
