Who Liberate Sabah from the Japanese During World War 2?

Answer 1

It was the 9th Infantry Division of Australian Military that liberate Sabah from the Japanese during World War II as part of the campaign to drive back the Japanese. Sabah was turnover to British Military for safekeeping because under the Charter Agreement of BNBCC and the British Crown , Sabah is under the protectorate of the British Royal Crown. BNBCC is the original "Lessee" to the 1878 " Lease Contract " of Sabah.

In 1948 the British Crown has returned to BNBCC the control of Sabah but due to lack of Finances has forced to be assisted by the British and absorbed the administration of Sabah. In 1963 Malaysia got their independence and continue the administration of Sabah by continuing to pay the yearly rental based from the original Lease Contract of 1878.
