The Philippines has historically claimed sovereignty over Sabah, but currently recognizes Sabah as part of Malaysia through the 1963 Manila Accord. However, some groups and individuals in the Philippines continue to assert the country's claim over Sabah.

What is your stand on sabah claimed by the Philippines?

Up to present, Malaysia is still renting Sabah to Philippines. Yes, the Philippines can get it back because it legally belongs to the Sultanate of Sulu (Philippines). The Best way for the Philippine government to claim it back is improve first its Economy. Make the Philippine economy more than enough to support and for the Sabahans and Sarawakans to be happy to go back and be united again with their Muslims brothers and Christian neighbours in Mindanao.


What is the condition of Philippine claim in Sabah?

Sabah is part of the Philippine terretory as stated in the Grade IV book used by our elementary students right now. Teaching our children of this claim, it should be exercise by our government (Philippine) so for them to have faith in our system. Damb it! People in the southern part of the Philippines were fighting for ancestral domain yet they are not fighting for their right of SABAH. Why not start fighting in Sabah to regain it? Sometimes War is necessary to expedite the matter then may be later discuss it in proper. Because the Muslims who leased it always prefer to do transactions with co-muslims. Religion always have a role in this so conflicts of interests can't be resolved. The international law should disregard such transaction and respect the Phillipine's rights to its territory. Clearly, the international law is still being blind folded by pathetic excuses of religion and tradition.

What is the social groups of Brunei?

Sub-groupsCommonly, many sub-groups of Badjao are named after the place or island they live-in for many years. Even though they are called Bajau, each sub-groups has their own unique language, cultures and tradition. However, certain sub-groups are able to understand the languages of other sub-groups. For example, some Bajau understand the Bajau Ubian language, and the Bajau Ubian and Simunul in Sabah are able to understand and speak the Tausug language called the Suluk language in Sabah. The general terms for the native languages of the Bajau is Вahasa Вajau or Sinama. Lists of Bajau sub-groups:Ubian - Originate from the island South Ubian in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines and make up the largest Bajau sub-group in Sabah. They reside in sizable minorities living around the towns of Kudat and Semporna in Sabah, Malaysia.Bannaran - Another subgroup of Bajau originated from Bannaran Island in Tawi-Tawi. Mostly found in Kudat, Kunak, Semporna and Tawau.Sama - Commonly known as Bajau Kota Belud, because most of them live in or near area of Kota Belud, Sabah. This is actually a misnomer as they can be found all over the west coast of the state, and not just in Kota Belud. They call themselves Sama, not Bajau and their neighbours, the Dusuns also call them Sama, not Bajau. British administrators originally defined them as Bajau.Samah/Sama Sulawesi Selatan' (Malaysia)[8]Simunul - Simunul people can be found at Kampung Bokara, Sandakan, Semporna and Lahad Datu Towns. Simunul is an island in Tawi-Tawi where many Sama Simunul are still found and are the majority there. They are known among the Bajau group for having fair skin.Colorful non-traditional designs on the vinta boats of the Samal people from Samal Island, Philippines. Traditionally, vintas feature distinctive vertical bands and triangles of bright colors Samal (Philippines, Malaysia) - A group native to the Philippines, a large number are now residing around the coasts of northern Sabah, though many have also migrated north to the seas around the Visayas and southern Luzon. The Samal are sometimes considered distinct from the other Bajau.[7][9] They are the largest single group of Bajau.[10]Bajau Suluk - This sub-group, of mixed heritage Bajau and Tausug, live mostly in Kudat, and have origins in the Philippines, hence, although living among Malay peoples for a substantial part of their history, are also able to converse in the Tausug and Samal languages.Tando' Bas - This sub-group was rarely found in Sabah before 1970s.

No trace of them anywhere else even in the Philippines.Pala'u - The word Pala'u in Bajau means boat-dwelling. This sub-group originally lived on boats all the time but almost all have taken to living on land in the Philippines. In Malaysia the boat-dwelling culture has been retained by some, but many others have built homes on land.Tabawan (Philippines, Malaysia) - This sub-group was rarely found in Sabah before 1970s. They have recently migrated to Sabah from an island called Tabawan, Tawi-tawi, Philippines.

This sub-group was rarely found in Sabah before 1970s. Some have recently migrated to Sabah.

They have recently migrated to Sabah.This is from wikipedea


Will Malaysia return Sabah to the rightfull owner?

Returning Sabah may not be the issue for Malaysia, but the interest of Malaysia to Profit out of Sabah. It was said that the net profit of Malaysia to Sabah and Sarawak combined could be 40 to 50 % of their GNP . Looking closely , Malaysia will not let Sabah and Sarawak go off their hand without provocation of a probable war. However, the advent of modern advocacy under UN charters may put end to this long and standing problem of Sabah like Hongkong that was returned to China lately, Forfeiting the real owner of their rights as the legitimate and sovereign owner of the land, the Sultanate of Sulu is now at the mercy of the UN or any country that will sponsor the case against Malaysia. Many countries of the world now has managed to get away from their captors through the intervention of UN. The problem today of finding a sponsor country for the Sultanate remains unclear, since the Sultanate of Sulu has been stripped out of her Political power to become a member nation of UN.The only probable solution is to privately lodge a case to ICJ if will be permitted. To return Sabah to the Sultanate of Sulu is almost as impossible task but hope is still and miracle could happen only as an alternative.

What will happen to Malaysia's oppressive occupation of Sabah?

The current position of Malaysia is highly fragile. There is growing concession regarding the oppressive stand of Malaysia against Sabah and neighboring country like Indonesia and the Philippines. Sabah in the first place is not totally Federated to the Peninsular Malaysia but instead Sabah has agreed to be under the partner to the administrative governanace of Malaysia based on 20 point agreement.Malaysian Constitution explicitly stipulates the only three conditions of Peninsular Malaysia duty to sabah . The Monetary, the Military and the Tax imposed to Sabah. The Malaysian Constitution acknowledge the separation of Sabah and Sarawak Constitution and therefore full control over the two territory is limited to Defense , Finance and Tax Rules. The conditional partneship agreed in the 20 point agreement includes - the Freedom of Religion and the separate Land Laws of Sabah. This two point may serve as the basis of conflict. The use of the word "Allah' by the Christian Church is being questioned which resulted in chaotic rage of burning the churches. The Land Laws of Sabah is in total conflict to Federal practice specially the sharing of minerals. Sabah contributes 30% to Federal reserve of Malaysia in terms of profit from mineral exploration particularly oil but the Federal is raking all the money and giving back only 5% royalty to the State of Sabah. The issue of ownership is also like an axe hanging to both State Government and Federal Government. Malaysia cannot proove the hold of Sabah legally and keep ignoring the owner, The Royal Sulu and North Borneo Kingdom of it's plea to return Sabah peacefully like Hongkong. It is just a matter of time that legal justice may arrive upon the intervention of United Nation through it's arm, the International Court of Justice. The expulsion of the natural born citizen is also a big ax since it is already recorded that Malaysia has comitted a mass violation of Human Rights by oppressing the natural born citizen of Sabah. Malaysia is now also facing ethnic rage from Indonesia for promoting the culture of Indonesia as if Malaysian. Students activist are now amassing to 500,000 to protest the stealing of culture from Indonesia and still growing. It was foreseen that anti Malaysia campaign will not abate a the moment due to the growing rage by all sides, including the people of Sabah for lack of social services despite the billions of dollars that Federal Malaysia is getting from Sabah.
