Why did the Proclamation of 1763 make the Americans colonists angry?
The Proclamation of 1763, was issued by King George III, to halt the expansion of the American Colonies beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Before the French and Indian War, France had helped in the process of preventing colonists from settling on Indian hunting lands west of the Appalachians. But settlers began crossing the frontier soon after Britain defeated France.
To preserve the Indian hunting grounds, an Ottawa chief named Pontiac, led an uprising in the spring of 1763.
Britain feared a long and bloody war with the Indians, which it could not afford. King George issued the Proclamation of 1763. The document reserved lands west of the Appalachians for Indians and forbade white settlements there.
Britain sent soldiers to guard the frontier and to keep settlers out.
The colonists deeply resented the Proclamation of 1763. They felt that Britain had no right to restrict their settlement. In addition, many Americans hoped to profit from the purchase of western lands.

How does the Japanese government work?
The national government is a Constitutional Monarchy in which the Emperor exercises no real power. The power in Japan is held by the Prime Minister and the cabinet.
The Japanese Legislature (called the Diet, after the old Bismarck era German legislature) is divided into two houses, a House of Representatives (the lower house) and a House of Councillors (the upper house). The lower house is the more powerful of the two, and is the house where legislation is crafted and voted on first. The Prime Minister is a member of the lower house. The upper house has veto power, but is often overruled by the lower house.
Japan has the Liberal Democratic Party (center-right and often nationalist), the Democratic Party (center left), the New Komeito Party (pacifist party, coalition member with the LDP), the Socialist Party, and the Communist Party as major parties. However, since the 1950s, the LDP has enjoyed nearly unbroken control of both houses, only having been out of power in the lower house once (briefly in the early 90s following a major scandal) and the upper house once (currently).
Japan's legislators are elected in districts with multiple seats per district.
Previously, voters were given one vote each regardless of the number of seats in the district, and if, for example, a district had four seats up, the top four vote getters would be elected. This had been viewed as a means of keeping one party in power, as they had the ability to run multiple candidates, split the vote and still get most of the seats. More recently, Japan has changed to a system where voters would get the same number of votes per district as there were seats and also having a set number of seats that would be distributed amongst the parties based on the parties' national vote totals. The idea was to increase the representation of minority parties.

What are the differences in British and us government?
* The Executive and Legislative Branches - In the US, these are seperate. Congress is the Legislative Branch passes legislation and the Executive Branch (consisting of the President and the Departments) will oversee its implementation. In the UK, the Departments are under direct control of the MPs (Members of Parliament).
* The Head of State and Head of Government - The difference is that the Head of State is the figurehead of the country while the Head of Government is in charge of most of the day-to-day running. In the UK, these are represented by the Monarchy and the Prime Minister respectively. These days the Monarchy has little power in governing the country, but the Prime Minister is a figurehead himself and has more power over the UK government than the President has over the US government.
* Federalism vs. Centralisation - The US describes itself as a federation of states, each with their own government and a Federal government to rule them all. This is the only real practical way to run such as large and spread-out country. The UK is small, densely populated and very centralised.
* The Upper House - The US has an elected Senate while the UK has the House of Lords. Originally this was made up entirely of Peers (Lords with titles) and Bishops, but these days most are appointed. Because of this, their power is limited and they cannot block legislation like the Senate, they can only delay it. There are now proposals from all three main parties for a fully elected Senate, but this will take many years to implement. The House of Lords used to be in charge of the Judicial Branch, but now the UK has its very own Supreme Court.
* Elections - The US President is elected, whereas the person who becomes the UK Prime Minister is the leader of the winning party (like the Speaker of the House).
* Constitution - The US has a constitution that was written when the country was founded, whereas the UK has an unwritten consititution, making it slightly more flexible (hence the new Supreme Court).
* The Centre - As well as the two main parties (Labour and Conservatives, equivalent to the Democrats and Republicans) the UK has the Liberal Democrat party, who sit inbetween. Recently, the Lib Dems form a coalition with the Tories (nickname for the Conservatives) after the Conservatives won the most votes but failed to get the majority.
* Party Turnover - Turnover of government tend to be less frequent in the UK. The Conservatives were in charge throughout most of the 1980s, and it wasn't until 1997 that a dramtically reformed Labour Party won the vote back.
* Stance - The UK tends to be more left-wing than the US.

Because logically the Sabah is rightfully in the Philippine territory. It was just LEASED by Muslims residing in there who always love to claim things as their own regardless of whatever legal rights of the country. It can also be linked to religion since Muslims always prefer to do any transactions with their co-Muslims for the sake of their ever-discriminating leg god allah's Islam.
