The question of who is the legitimate and reigning sultan of Sulu and North Borneo is to simply find out who became the MAHARAJAH ADINDA, RAJAH MUDA AND SULTAN IN AN " UNBROKEN LAW OF SUCCESSION". NONE OF THE CLAIMING SULTAN OF SULU AND NORTH BORNEO HAD BEEN AND UNDERGONE THREE SUCCESSIVE POSITION PRIOR TO BE PROCLAIMED AS THE SULTAN. EXCEPT HRH SULTAN ESMAIL D. KIRAM II , THIS IS THE FACT AND EVIDENCE THAT ANY CLAIMANT SULTAN WHO NEVER BEEN SUCCESSIVELY UNDERGONE THE ' MAHARAJAH ADINDA- THIRD RANK FROM THE LINEAGE, RAJAH MUDAH - SECOND RANK FROM THE LINEAGE AND SULTAN PROPER AS THE FIRST RANK FROM THE LINEAGE IS AUTOMATICALLY BOGUS EVEN IF THEY ARE RELATIVE TO THE THRONE.
NOW THE QUESTION WHY SULU AND NORTH BORNEO KINGDOM IS UNDER TWO GOVERMENT IS SIMPLY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHAT TRANSPIRED. NORTH BORNEO IS THE ORIGINAL NAME OF SABAH WHICH WAS CHANGED BY Malaysia TO ELUDE THE ISSUE. IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT MALAYSIA IS NOT A PARTY OR ENTITY TO THE 1878 ORIGINAL LEASE OF NORTH BORNEO. THE POSSESSION OF MALAYSIA OVER SABAH IS NOT CLEAR AS PER INTERNATIONAL LAW. MALAYSIA DEFY TO HEAR THE CASE TO ICJ ON THE GROUND THAT THEY WILL DEFINITELY LOSE THE ILLEGAL POSSESION OF SABAH.
ON THE OTHER HAND , SULU ISLANDS HAS BEEN MANIPULATED BY THE AMERICAN TO DISSOLVE THE POLITICAL POWER OF THE KINGDOM BY SIMPLY PUTTING UNDER THE PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC AND HENCE ALL SULTANATE PEOPLE IN THE Philippines IS NOW HOLDING PHILIPPINE PASSPORT.
THE DIMINISHED POLITICAL POWER OF THE SULTANATE PREVENT THE EXERCISE OF IT'S INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGNTY BUT NOT THE TRADITIONAL AND PROPRIETARY SOVEREIGNTY AND THEREFORE THE EXISTENCE OF THIS TRADITIONAL AND PROPRIETARY SOVEREIGNTY IS NOW LEGALLY EXIST UNDER THE 'DE JURE' GOVERMENTS OF MALAYSIA AND PHILIPPINES. THE SULTANATE OF SULU AND NORTH BORNEO WILL REMAIN A 'DE FACTO GOVERNMENT FOREVER, REGARDLESS OF THE 'DE JURE GOVERNMENT IT IS NOW UNDER.
MALAYSIA AND PHILIPPINES HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO LOOK FOR A PEACEFUL SOLUTION RATHER THAN TO KEEP MINDANAO WAR ,TO ANIHILATE THE PEOPLE OF SULU UNDER THE PRINCIPLE OF 'ETHNIC CLEANSING' . MALAYSIA ON THE OTHER SIDE IS PREVENTING THE NATURAL BORN SABAH CITIZEN TO GIVE MALAYSIAN PASSPORT IN FEAR THAT THEY GROW IN NUMBER, BEING THE PEOPLE OF THE SULTANATE OF SULU AND NORTH BY BIRTH AND NOW A STATELESS CITIZEN. MALAYSIA IS TRYING TO SENT THEM BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES BUT THE PHILIPPINE STAND IS CLEAR THAT THEY ARE NATURALLY SABAH BORN PEOPLE AND NOT PHILIPPINE BORN.THIS IS POLITICALLY COMPLICATED BECAUSE SULTANATE PEOPLE THAT HOLD PHILIPPINE PASSPORT ARE BEING EXPELLED BY MALAYSIA IN SABAH AND MALTREATED AND TREATED HARSLY , FOR IN FACT AN IN TRUTH , THEY OWN SABAH UNDER THE SULTANATE AND NORTH BORNEO KINGDOM.
TO SOLVED THE ISSUE IS TO LET THE TRADITIONAL GOVERNANCE OF SULTANATE OF SULU AND NORTH BORNEO TO ACT AS A CATALYST IN BETWEEN TWO POLITICAL GOVERNMENT AS IT IS NOW.
yes. it is found in sabah only in malaysia.
FOR BETTER INFO PLS REFER TO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabah THIS IS MINE: i wish too that this will be discussed again AND I THINK!!! that the claim is upon to the present sultan of sulu because he is a descendant of the original sultan owner to which SABAH was given to. at first the sultan of Brunei(which conquered SABAH and below)and his brother wanted to take over but needed the help of the sultan of sulu at that time at the end they had won so as a reward the brother gave sabah to the sultan of sulu but the British wanted to lease SABAH so the agreed with the sultan and i think it was about $1,200 only and this kept on and on until british said it was sold to Malaysia and that started it all but i think the sultan of sulu right now is still getting the money... but british had constructed bases... but now some questions are why is it revived? there are cases of deportations of and this is one reason second we want a bigger country meaning bigger resources... ===BUT EXPERTS SAY THAT THE BEACHES ARE BETTER THAN PALAWAN AND THAT COULD BE A REASON=== ++THE CONDITION IS PEACEFUL THERE WAS A PEACE TALK TO STOP IT UNTIL IT WAS REVIVED =) i want to revive it if i was the president... I HAVE READ some posts in Malaysia saying that it should be in Malaysia because it was handed down and there was a contract of sale and all that but one message got me it was that there was a filipino chief minister that handled sabah and i think it was 1966-1976 and he said that "he handled non-moslem badly and not as good as the moslem so no more Filipinos!!! this was excatly it i wanted to comment but no i think my knowledge of it was low hehe...=) and basically it was part of Malaysia which made them very conscious of happenings about it we just revived it because of the reasons above.... P.S. IM PINOY AND IM NOT A HISTORIAN I JUST KNOW THESE FROM RESEACRHING AND READING I HOPE THIS HELPS!!! AS FOR THE NO MORE FILIPINOS THING GO TO HERE: http://www.topix.com/forum/world/Malaysia/T7S5UU62KSOO4H8PT and find: (USING ALT+F) cina bangsa hebat) LETS JUST LET THIS TO THE GOVERNMENT OR PROTEST=) SO THAT IT WILL BE REVIVED BECAUSE I THINK THEY KNOW ALL THE info NEEDED TO CLAIM AND WE GOT HISTORIANS =)
Sabah has been Leased on 1878 by two merchant Overbeck and Dent under their private company. When this company was dissolved , the leased was absorbed by the British government, when Malaysia got their independence n on 1963, Sabah was again absorbed by Malaysia. This series of transfer built a suspicious thinking that from the beginning , the idea is to diminished it's owner , the Sultanate of Sulu of the sovereign rights over Sabah. The legal position of Malaysia is not clear being not a party to the original Lease of Sabah. The suspected manaipulations and the misinterpretations from the word 'Padjak " as cession or sale is not also clear , because the signatory to the Contract is only one person but Sultan Jamallul Ahlam. If it is a sale two party must be involved as signatory . The analysis of most expert of the Agreement is more of a 'Franchise " rather than lease or sale because only the owner has signed the contract permitting the two merchant to act as a holder of the area perfettually to the life of the company or any of it's heir represented by Dent and Overbeck. The transfer by the private company or non government entity to British Government is strongly questionable, because the Sultanate has 'Friendship Treaty to the Sultanate of Sulu kingdom that was violated. Much more that the transfer to the Malaysian Federal is questionable being not a partner to the 1878 Franchise Agreement.
Malaysia has seen what the British has done and so they imitate to grab the opportunity when they got their independence from the British empire in 1963. Peninsular government of Malaysia slowly edge to make it appear Sabah is part of Malaysia by appointing interim administration and change the name from North Borneo to Sabah in a blink of an eye. It was also clear to the Malaysian Constitution that Sabah is a partner rather than a member state of Malaysia. It was also clear that Sabah is only interim member state. Sabah is now currently contributing 30% to the whole economy of Malaysia. From this standpoint, simple calculations will give us at least US$12 billion dollars generated income annually. Malaysia has all the reason to hold Sabah ,a merely US$1,500 dollars rental to Sabah since 1963 is being paid by Malaysia. In short, the only capitalization involved is the rental versus billion dollar earning every year, Is that not enough reason to hold Sabah? It was said that Malaysia is continually muddling the traditional leadership of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo by paying fake sultans among the relatives to the throne, to make it appear that squabble is there to reason out that they do not know who is the genuine sultan of whom Sabah will return. There is also rumors that even the past and present administrations of the the Philippine government is continually secretly receiving dole out money from Malaysia in condition not to interfere or help the now traditional governance of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo.
The owner of Sabah is the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo Kingdom. It was been rented to the British North Borneo Company ,a private charter company in 1878. When the private charter company has dissolved , the lease was absorbed by the British Government which later transfer to Malaysia in 1963 when they got their independence.Sabah did not join Malaysia according to Yong Teck Lee in his statement , it was included without the consent of the owner , the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo Kingdom. Sabah is now being administered by Malaysia since the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo kingdom is now only a traditional government not political.In 1939 the High Court of North Borneo has come out of the ruling to implement the proprietary audit and inventory of Sabah property of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo but did not materialized due to the coming of Second World War. After the war comes the turmoils in the hierarchy, Dayang Dayang Hadji Piandao, the sister of Princess Tarhata assume the throne and illegally passed on to her husband Ombra Amilbangsa which was not entitled to the throne, then Abraham Rasul ,the adviser of President Marcos misled the president by electing Mahakutta Kiram , the son of Sultan Esmail Kiram I as Sultan while Punjungan Kiram , the successor to his brother Esmail Kiram I was in Sabah. This was corrected when Punjungan return to Sulu and installed by President Marcos. Punjungan Kiram is the administrator of Sabah as per 1939 McKaskie ruling, the father of the current Sultan HRH Esmail D. Kiram IIThe reigning and legitimate Sultan of Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo, (www.sulu.gov.pH) is his Royal highness HRH Sultan Esmail D. Kiram II, he has decided and signed a "Royal Decree' and 'Royal Authority ' to the "Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo Company Limited",a Hongkong registered Company to undertake the total development and management of Sabah property of the Kingdom.There were claiming sultans of Sulu and North Borneo in the relative lineage, but failed to justify themselves holding the positions of Maharajah Adinda and Rajah Muda, prior to their supposed claim as Sultan.The unbroken hierarchy of Maharajah Adinda ,Rajah Muda and Sultan proper must be undergone by the legitimate and reigning Sultan of Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo Kingdom. None so far among claimant Sultans has gone through the Maharajah Adinda and Rajah Muda prior to their claim except his HRH Sultan Esmail D. Kiram II. ( www.sultanatesulu.org )
Malaysia is boasting that Sabah is part of Malaysian Federal Government, which is partly true.This conception is the standpoint of Kuala Lumpur based on the Federal constitution . The Parliament of Federal Malaysia is holding fast on this conjecture due to the inherent participation of Sabah to the Federal Malaysia. Former Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee has blown the secret of Sabah's association to Malaysia in saying - SABAH DID NOT JOIN MALAYSIA BUT SABAH IS IN PARTNER TO MALAYSIA.This revelation is the most expounding issue and the only way to find out if Yong Teck Lee is telling the truth is to review the Malaysian Constitution in conjunction with Sabah State Constitution. This two constitution, one Federal in nature and the other one state in nature will give light to the confession of Yong Teck Lee.It was true that Sabah is under the Federal Malaysian Constitution in Pro -Tempore meaning temporary or interim because Sabah State Constitution clearly define that the - STATE OF SABAH CAN INDEPENDENTLY MAKE IT'S OWN LAW as defined under the 20 point agreement. The provision of special applications to Sabah and Sarawak to be exempted from the National Land law of Federal Malaysia seems accurate as per Yong Teck Lee admits that - WE MADE THE FEDERAL MALAYSIA, SABAH IS IN PARTNER TO IT this is a statement of the original people that framed the Federal Malaysian constitution as we see today.The provision of special applications to Sabah and Sarawak is very interesting. If Sabah has freedom over the state land to decide independently, therefore the sovereignty to decide over Sabah belongs to the state. This tell us that there is actually separation of power of two constitutions. State Parliament can make a law to separate and apply the provision of 20 point policy , Sabah can be independent anytime the State Parliament wishes to do so. This could be the reason of edging out the opposition because once the opposition win the majority in the State Parliament, it is likely that a law will be passed to remove the Federal control over Sabah.The Malaysian Constitution is very clear to the provision regarding Sabah and Sarawak, only the Federal function of Taxation , Military and Monetary is the only power that was vested in Federal Malaysia to implement in Sabah. This could be the essence of partnership because Sabah has it's own State Parliament that can act and make laws independent from Federal Laws except that they will be under the Federal laws on Tax,Military and Monetary.The grudge of Sabah State Parliament is the unfair sharing between the State and the Federal, because Sabah is only getting a mere 5% of the revenues that the Federal Government of Malaysia is making out of Sabah. The development and social services is not being address comparing to Peninsular Malaysia. As Datuk Yong Teck Lee admits - WE ARE PAYING A HIGH PRICE BEING A PARTNER TO FEDERAL MALAYSIA which seemingly accurate. The rest of the oppositions is now hell bent in planning to seggregate Sabah from the Federal control if the situation cannot be abated.According to Yong , it is very hard to run the State for a very small portion of revenue while Peninsular Malaysia enjoy the resources they got from Sabah.
The existence of the Iranun in Sabah, Malaysia is one of the untold episode or history of the Iranun as Nation of the world, way back from the Uranen Kingdom of the prehistory period. Iranun tarsila narrates that the original inhabitants of the Island was Iranun. During the prehistory period of the Iranun, immigration was already observed. The Iranun was used to sail and navigate going west and southwest direction for socio-economic-political objective. They reached Java, Sumatra, Makassar, Johore, Borneo (Brunie) and other places/nations. Iranun tarsila narrates that the mother of Princess Pagunguwan (daughter of Rajah Urangguwan) was the daughter of the last Emperor of the Sri Vishaya Empire. It happened that Borneo was then one of the naval bases and tributary to the Sri Vishaya Empire. Therefore, there was a social relationships established between the two sovereigns through marraige. From then the two sovereign nations interacts in all aspects of statehood or nationhood. Until finally history period came. The whitemen (Spaniards) arrived in the shores of the Island in 1521. During the height of the realm of Sultan Kudarat at Ramitan, the first seat of Sultanate; his neighbor Sultan, the Sultan of Brunie faced a heavy problem in his realm. There was an uprising organized by some group of people who can not accept the sovereignty of the Sultan. Thus there was rebellion in his Sultanate. The Sultan of Brunie requested a reinforcement from Sultan Kudarat to augment his royal army to protect and defend his sovereign nation from the rebellion. Sultan Kudarat answered the request in favor of his neighbor sultan of Brunie. Sultan Kudarat sent a big military expedition to Brunie. According to the Iranun tarsila, the military expedition was composed of twelve (12) vessels. Each vessel was composed of forty (40) army (warrior). Therefore, there were four hundred eighty (480) armies (warriors) who were sent to Brunie to help the Sultan of Brunie. To compensate the assistance extended to him by the Iranun armies (warriors) of Sultan Kudarat, and for owing his gratitude, the Sultan of Brunie offered them some portion of his sovereign state to the Iranun armies. Majority of the Iranun armies accepted the offer with the consent of Sultan Kudarat. They lived there with their families with harmony and prosperity. They are the descendants of the Iranuns in Sabah, Malaysia. The present situation wherein many of the people from different nations migrate to other nation for the reason of green pasture is common to nations which are economically unstable. In the case of the people of Mindanao, especially Iranuns migrated to Sabah because they are seeking greener pasture for them to sustain the basic nessessity of their families. They are adventuring to Sabah with a hope that they can be able to strengthen their economic capability. Therefore, the presence of the Iranuns in Sabah, Malaysia can be described into two plausible reasons. The first reason is historical. The first wave of migration of the Iranuns in Sabah, Malaysia was attributed to the socio-political relationships of the the two nations: Iranun and Malaysia during the 16th century. Second reason is economy. At present time many people in the Philippines not only Iranuns but other tribes migrate to Sabah, Malaysia for economic reason. Many Iranuns at present time seek greener pasture to Sabah, Malaysia. Malampayan, Likas, Lahd Datu, and Tbok are identified Iranun communities in Sabah, Malaysia.
Brunei is a sultanate. This means the head of state is the Sultan. He has full executive powers according the constitution that was passed in 1959. It is the only monarchy in Southeast Asia that functions with the head of state as the political head.
The only branch of government under the Articles of Confederation was the legislative branch, which consisted of a unicameral Congress.
