MASSIVE ELECTORAL FRAUD BY UMNO-BN TO CHEAT MALAYSIAN VOTERS OF A GENUINE GOVERNMENT


Mahathir dah bagi MyKad free, tubuh pula cawangan UMNO Pakistan Sabah dan Pakistan Sabah Bersatu...




KEPUTUSAN UMNO Malaysia meluluskan Cawangan Pakistan Sabah Bersatu secara tergopoh-gopoh di Bahagian Silam pada 1991 menyebabkan parti terbesar di Malaysia itu menghadapi dilema kerana kemungkinan besar Presiden UMNO boleh diheret ke Panel RCI yang akan menyambung sidangnya pada 15 hingga 20 April 2013.

Sejak tertubuhnya cawangan Pakistan Sabah Bersatu, Pakistan sudah menjadi komuniti elit dalam UMNO kerana mereka mendapat kad pengenalan projek, menjadi pemilih berdaftar dan mendapat semua kemudahan yang dimiliki Orang Melayu dan Bumiputera Sabah kerana mereka dijenamakan sebagai Melayu atau Bumiputera.
Berikut adalah semakan rambang yang dilakukan terhadap cawangan berkenaan dan mendapati ahli berikut menggunakan Kad Pengenalan Palsu Yang Dibatalkan oleh Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara tetapi masih menjadi ahli UMNO sehingga ke hari ini.

01 GUL BIN WALI H0492445 Nombor Ahli : 2651446
02 SAKANDAR BIN HAMBALI H0492846 Nombor Ahli : 1599166
03 RAZAK BIN SHARI H0493836 Nombor Ahli : 2651445
04 SAHI BIN WAZIR H0493843 Nombor Ahli : 2651441
05 AMIR BIN MOHAMMAD H0494269 Nombor Ahli : 2651452
06 HALID BIN RAHMAT H0543382 Nombor Ahli : 2651426
07 TAHIR BIN MIRAHMAD SHAH H0547413 Nombor Ahli : 2651433
08 USMAN BIN ABDUL SHAKOR H0547544 Nombor Ahli : 2286128
09 RASIK BIN SUAIDI H0550087 Nombor Ahli : 1599193
10 ABDULLAH BIN MUHAMMAD H0551027 Nombor Ahli : 1599191

Agak menakjubkan juga kerana ramai ahli Cawangan Pakistan Sabah Bersatu bukan sahaja memegang kad pengenalan palsu yang tiadak dalam rekod JPN; malah turut memegang kad pengenalan yang ada dalam rekod JPN tetapi tidak merujuk kepada mereka kerana dimiliki penama lain. 

Cuba perhatikan No.KP mereka(yang berwarna merah) dalam rekod UMNO Malaysia dan No.KP dalam Rekod Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara.

Sabah – the question that won’t go away



Sabah – the question that won’t go awa




Najib and Aquino on MILF agreement

In 1967, Operation Merdeka was initiated by the late President  Ferdinand Marcos. The main objective was to annex Sabah for the  Philippines. The legal basis of the operation was the claim of the  Sultan of Sulu and his heirs to Sabah. The Sultan’s heirs insist that  the resource-rich land still belonged to them.

 They believe that it was  simply leased (pajak) to the British East India Company in 1878  and was illegally transferred by the British in 1963, when it became  part of the Federation of Malaysia (watch this video to get one view of the complexities).  The heirs of the Sultan of Sulu, being citizens of the Philippines,  gave then President Marcos the mandate to reclaim Sabah as part of the  country.

The standing policy of the Philippines on Sabah is articulated in the  Republic Act 5546 of 1968, which provides in Section 2: “The definition  of the baselines of the territorial sea of the Philippine Archipelago  as provided in this Act is without prejudice to the delineation of the  baselines of the territorial sea around the territory of Sabah, situated  in North Borneo, over which the Republic of the Philippines has  acquired dominion and sovereignty.”

To achieve the objective of the Operation Merdeka, Tausug  (Suluk among Malaysians and Tausug among Filipinos, literally meaning  ‘People of the Current’) and Sama Muslims (Moros) were recruited and  trained by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in Corregidor  Island for specialised training in covert operations. The number of  recruits differs ranging from 60, according to the Government of  Philippines to more than 200 according to the Moro Islamic Liberation  Front (MILF). Their order was to sabotage military installations and key  infrastructures in Sabah for the subsequent invasion by the  Philippines. At first, the recruits were unaware of their true mission.  When they realised that their order was to infiltrate Sabah and fight  fellow Muslims, they become mutinous. This prompted their military  handlers to execute all of them and cover up the entire operation.  Against all odds one of the recruit, Jibin Arula, survived to recount  what happened.

As fate would have it, the late Philippine senator Benigno “Ninoy”  Aquino Jr. (husband to the late President Corazon Aquino, and the father  of the current President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III) exposed Operation Merdeka  and the killing of the recruits. Although, the late senator condemned  the massacre he never denounced the historical claim of the Sultanate of  Sulu on Sabah. The incident generally referred to as the Jabidah Massacre  has had wide ranging implications. Now President Benigno Aquino III is  condemning the armed incursion of the followers of the Sultan of Sulu.

On the Malaysian side three things happened: first it created the  impression that Malaysia can count on the Moros in case of a military  conflict with the Philippines as the Moros were willing to disobey  orders and risk being killed just to avoid fighting in Malaysia. Second,  Malaysia realised that their best lines of defence against a  Philippines annexation of Sabah were the Moros. Thus, training and  equipping them to fight for a separate homeland became an implied state  policy. In 1969, Tun Mustapha, a Tausug descent and the chief minister  of Sabah at that time, facilitated the military training of Moros. With  the help of Libya, who provided the financial assistance and military  equipment, 90 Moros were trained in Pulau Pangkor, Malaysia.  These  Malaysian trained Moros called the Top 90 later become the core  of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).

Third, the annexation of  Sabah was only a distant possibility as long as the Moros will not  cooperate with the Philippine Government. This thinking is reflected in  the deployment of military bases within Malaysia. Most military  personnel and bases are stationed in peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak  with almost negligible numbers stationed in Sabah, reflecting the lack  of threat coming from the area. These beliefs also created a porous  border between Sabah and northern islands of the Philippines such as  Tawi-Tawi and Sulu.

On the Philippines side, it crystallised the long simmering  discontent among the Muslims in Mindanao (or Moros as they call  themselves) into a secessionist movement. The Muslim Independence  Movement (MIM) was organised in 1968 by Datu Udtog Matalam demanding the  outright secession of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan regions from  Philippine control. Leaders of MIM subsequently formed the Moro National  Liberation Front in 1969 – the military wing of the secessionist  movement headed by Nur Misuari. Then in 1977 due to ideological  difference, the late Hashim Salamat formed the Moro Islamic Liberation  Front (MILF) a break-away group from the MNLF.

 The ensuing conflict  between the secessionist groups and the Philippine Government cost the  lives of more than 100,000 people and massive destruction to the economy  and development outcomes, not only in the conflict areas but in the  whole Mindanao region as well. It also tied the meagre resources of the  Philippines into fighting the secessionist groups. The Armed Forces of  the Philippines (AFP) were unable to modernise (among several reasons)  as most of the military budget were used in containing and fighting the  secessionist threat. As a result, the military superiority of the AFP of  the late 1960s over the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) is no longer the  case these days. By far, the MAF is more advanced and modern than the  AFP.

In a way, Malaysia managed to achieve its entire objective of  neutralising the threat of Sabah annexation and ensure that the AFP is  weakened, and that the AFP will not pose considerable threat in the  event of future conflict – all of it by simply supporting the Moro  secessionist movements from 1968 to 1972.

However, the cozy relationship between Malaysia and the Moros was  shaken on 12 February 2013, when a group numbering around 300 claiming  to be the Royal Sulu Sultanate Army lands in Lahad Datu village in  Sabah, declaring they will not leave Sabah because it is their own  homeland.

What had changed in the last 46 years? What pushed the  self-proclaimed Sultan of Sulu to launch an armed incursion into Sabah?  Who and what is working behind the scenes? And what is the ultimate  implication of the Sabah incursion?

Although various agreements and treaties were signed by stakeholders  on Sabah; the claim of the heir of the Sultan of Sulu and, therefore, by  the Philippines remains open. On all counts, the question of who ‘owns’  Sabah had never been definitively and formally resolved.

According to the Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, the heir (one of many) of  the Sultan of Sulu responsible for sending the contingent to occupy  Lahad Datu, his men are returning to their homeland and that he also  wants to open negotiations with the Malaysian Government for the  increase of the rent paid for Sabah. The Malaysian Embassy in the  Philippines is still paying a nominal ‘rent’ of 5, 300 ringgit  (approximately US$1, 700) to the heirs of the Sultan – a payment that  has remained unchanged for more than a century.

However, speculation with regards to the timing of the Sabah  incursion points to some powerful individuals backing Sultan Jamalul  Kiram III. Allies of ex-president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo such as  Norberto Gonzales, the former National Security Adviser and a good  friend of the Sultan, are alleged by the Aquino Administration to have  played a role. Nur Misuari, the MNLF chief, is also alleged to be one of  the conspirators in the move to occupy Lahad Datu. Both men vehemently  deny any involvement in the incursion. Nevertheless, they profess  support for the claim of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III.

There were also allegations that Mr Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of the  Opposition coalition in Malaysia was a conspirator in the Sabah  incursion. Likewise, Mr Anwar Ibrahim has also denied vehemently any  involvement. In turn, there were counter-allegations that Prime Minister  Najib Razak was responsible for staging this incursion.

Most intelligent (not intelligence) analysis however points to  preventing the final peace agreement between the MILF and the  Philippine Government that is currently being completed in Kuala Lumpur  as the main target of the Sabah incursion, while the fringe commentators  argue that influencing the outcome of the general elections in both  countries (May 2013 in the Philippine and by June 2013 in Malaysia) as  the objective of the incursion.

In the Philippines, the Sabah incursion has popular support among  Filipinos that can affect the outcome of the mid-term elections. This  has prompted the Aquino Administration to do a balancing act of  appeasing Malaysia and at the same time, not offending the Filipino  voters, while in Malaysia, the strong handed approach of Prime Minister  Najib Razak in dealing with the Sabah incursion is an attempt to garner  popular support from Malaysians.

The incident in Sabah could play into  the Prime Minister’s hand as he attempts to gain more support in Sabah  and Sarawak thereby affecting the overall results of Malaysia’s upcoming  general election. Upon the call of United Nations Secretary-General Ban  Ki-moon to stop hostilities in Sabah, Sultan Jamalul Kiram III declared  unilateral ceasefire and asked Prime Minister Najib to reciprocate.  Unfortunately, Prime Minister Najib rejected the call and continued the  military offensive against the men of the Sultan. As of 12 March 2013,  the death toll in the fighting stood at 62 killed (54 followers of the  Sultan, and 8 Malaysian policemen). Talks of a negotiated pull-out of  the Sultan’s followers are now underway.

Undeniably, the biggest losers in the Sabah incursion are the hundreds of thousands of Filipinos (estimated  at between 800,000 to 1 million) living in Sabah and the hundreds of  thousands more that depend on their livelihood across the porous  borders, where the free flow of goods and labour are tolerated by both  countries. The Sabah incursion will result in tighter border controls,  expulsion and possible economic exclusion of Filipinos living in Sabah.  Many Filipinos living in Sabah are already being repatriated to the  Philippines.

Just like the Jabidah Massacre that became the battle cry for  the secessionist movement in Mindanao, the Sabah incursion is now being  used by certain quarters as a turning point: a point where the front  have switched side; where the Moros are no longer the first line of  defence against Philippine annexation of Sabah. Some quarters in the  Philippines are now referring to the incident as the Sabah Massacre.  They believe that the “rightful” landlords of Sabah are being victimised  by the “tenant.”

The Sabah incursion cannot be simply dismissed as another armed incursion into Malaysia. Like the Jabidah Massacre  it may serve as a catalyst for future conflict. Malaysia will soon  realise this change among the Moros and will need to reposition its  armed forces into Sabah as well as to reassess its policy in dealing  with the Sabah question.

At this point in time, the Malaysian Government is in the position of  strength to negotiate for a peaceful and definitive solution to the  Sabah question. The Aquino Administration is not keen on pursuing the  Sabah claim and it is beholden to the Malaysian government for brokering  the peace deals with the MILF.
With the inevitable conclusion of the peace deal between the  Government of the Philippines and the MILF, formally ending the  secessionist movement in Mindanao, Malaysia can no longer rely on the  Moros to provide the same buffer zone against Philippine’s possibility  of annexing Sabah – a buffer zone that the Moros freely and unwittingly  provided since the late 1960s.

All stakeholders including the various heirs of the Sultan of Sulu,  the Malaysian Government and the Republic of the Philippines will have  to sit down and resolve the claim once and for all. They cannot simply  sweep the Sabah incursion under the rug and forget about it. Failing to  settle the Sabah issue will create a mirage of peace and security that  is waiting to be shattered.

In the future, if a more belligerent president in the Philippines  emerges that is willing to reclaim Sabah, by all means necessary, just  like the late Ferdinand Marcos; it could spell disaster for both  countries. It is therefore imperative that the Sabah question is finally  put to rest by formally and peacefully resolving it in all legal means  possible.

Malaysian Cops to HUNT   Security Forces Scorners on Social Media

  by

Salhan K Ahmad


Police will hunt down individuals who post disparaging comments about the actions of security forces in Sabah via social media, warned deputy inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar.

"I have issued orders to hound those who post statements that disparage or demean the actions of our forces, especially those who have fallen or are injured," he told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

NONE"Don't commit stupid acts like this... I ask that they stop. We will hound them, we will take action.”

When asked about the legal provisions and penalties for this, Khalid (left) vaguely said that there are "various ways" to do so.

He conceded that action could not be taken against foreigners as “that is out of our jurisdiction”.
Asked about investigations into PKR vice-president Tian Chua who allegedly gave a statement that the intrusion into Lahad Datu was a ‘show’ (sandiwara) by Umno, Khalid the police will make an announcement when the time comes.

Police, however, will not let the Batu MP get away so easily, he said. “How can he get away,” he added.

A police unit from Johor had last night recorded a statement from Tian Chua after hundreds of police reports had been made by individuals and NGOs on the statement which had appeared on the Keadilan Daily website.

Police also recorded statements from two journalists of the PKR organ, as well as a journalist from New Straits Times Press on the same case.
Last Tuesday, Tian Chua had said he was only responsible for the direct quotes in the article.

On a related matter, Khalid announced that police have opened two investigation papers over the intrusion of armed gunmen into Sabah

One covers incidents in and around Lahad Datu and the other, for events at Kampung Simunul in Semporna.

This is being done under Section 130 of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012, read together with Penal Code provisions on terrorism-related offences.

How Brunei Lost North Borneo (Sabah)

How Brunei lost its northern province

Sunday, September 21, 2008

NOT much is known historically about our neighbouring state, Sabah. Not much is also known on how its name was derived. Some say Sabah obtained its name from "Pisang Saba," the banana tree that grew predominantly along Borneo's coastal areas.

Some suggested that Sabah was derived from the Malay word "sabak" which is the place for or act of boiling to extract palm sugar. In Brunei Malay, "saba" means upstream (like Kampong Saba). Sabah is located to the northwest, or upstream of Brunei. Sabah has been a part of Brunei since the 15th century.

In the mid-19th century, Sarawak was being governed by the Brookes. Brunei's remaining province of Sabah was to remain untouched but not for long. By the years of 1865 and 1878, no less than three groups from three different countries attempted to control the northern part of Brunei's remaining territory.

The very first group was from United States of America. Brunei's relationship with the Americans started much earlier. An American warship, the USS Constitution, arrived in Brunei in 1845, seeking a commercial treaty and exclusive rights to the coal deposits in Brunei.

However at the time, Brunei was still seeking British protection and was unwilling to seek American support. But after the British naval attacks in 1846 and the loss of Labuan, Brunei decided that it needed to seek other powers to counter the British.

In 1850, Brunei agreed to sign a US-Brunei Treaty of Friendship and Commerce when Joseph Balestier, an American proposed the treaty. He became the first American Consul-General in Brunei. However despite the treaty no American commercial activity took place until 1864.

In 1864, CL Moses was appointed as the American Consul General in Brunei Darussalam. He signed another treaty with Sultan Abdul Momin and obtained territories from Sulaman River to Paitan River. This area consisted of twenty one districts. The lease was to last for a period of ten years, which consisted almost the entire North Borneo. He paid $4,500 annually.

Moses also paid an additional $4,000 annually and managed to lease additional areas from Pengiran Temenggong Pengiran Anak Hashim. The districts included those from Paitan to Kimanas including two islands, Balabak and Pahlawan.

Moses promised that he would bring economic benefits as well as help recover debts by China Steamship and Labuan Company which were then leasing coal mines in Muara.

The Sultan even provided Moses with a consulate building. However Moses failed to deliver his promises. He became unpopular with the Sultan and frictions between the two developed. In the end Moses set fire to the consulate and blamed the Sultan to get compensation. But a US government inquiry cleared the Sultan and Moses soon lost his job.

Soon after that Moses left for Hong Kong where he met WJ Torrey. Torrey was an American businessman. Both Moses and Torrey set up a new company called the American Trading Company.

Torrey went to Brunei to renegotiate with the Sultan. He was appointed as the Supreme Ruler and Governor of Sabah with the title of Raja of Ambong and Marudu. However in developing Kimanis, Torrey lost a great deal of his money. He could not pay the Sultan the amount agreed for the lease.

With Moses transferring his rights to Torrey, it enabled Torrey to sell all the rights to Baron Gustav von Overbeck.

Baron von Overbeck was the consul of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Hong Kong. He bought the concession rights in Sabah from Torrey. Later Baron von Overbeck together with Alfred Dent of Hong Kong formed a partnership and formed the Dent Company. In 1877, Baron von Overbeck visited Brunei to negotiate a new lease with Sultan Abdul Momin. The latter agreed and a treaty was signed that same year. Sultan Abdul Momin appointed Baron von Overbeck as the Maharaja of Sabah and Raja of Gaya and Sandakan and in return, the Baron shall pay $12,000 per year and additional $3,000 to the Temenggong.

To be on the safe side, since Sabah was also claimed by the Sultan of Sulu, Baron Overbeck negotiated a treaty with the Sultan of Sulu. He signed an agreement with the Sultan of Sulu and agreed to pay him $5,000 annually. The Sultan appointed him as Dato Bendahara and Raja of Sandakan in 1878.

Baron von Overbeck however faced financial problem. He could not get any support from the Austro-Hungarian government. So he decided to sell his share to Alfred Dent.

In 1881 Alfred Dent later managed to get a royal charter to set up another company called the British North Borneo Company in London. William Hood Treacher was appointed the first governor of North Borneo.

The British North Borneo Company gradually established its rule over the territories it had leases. They even bought over other territorial rights which were not included in the original lease from other Brunei Pengirans and nobles.

At the same time, in awarding the Royal Charter, the British government assumed a form of sovereignty over the state especially its foreign relations.

Because of this, the other western powers in the area immediately took renewed interest in Borneo and Malaya. However the Spanish agreed to British control over northern Borneo because the British accepted Spanish control over the Sulu Archipelago. The Germans also accepted British control over Sabah because the British agreed to accept German control over New Guinea.

It was the Dutch that tried to claim some land near Sandakan in 1879 but the British North Borneo Company objected to it. To solve the problems, both the Dutch and the British agreed to divide Borneo into a British area in the north and a Dutch area in the south.

With Rajah Brooke in Sarawak pursuing its expansionist policy, the British could not have two separate policies of restraining one while allowing the other.

These two were allowed to begin a "contest" to gain more and more of Brunei's remaining territories. Sarawak managed to get Baram and later Trusan and Limbang while Sabah managed to get Padas. In 1888, North Borneo similarly to Brunei became a British protectorate. The Company's rule in North Borneo had the greatest impact on the development of the region. A system of indirect rule was established in the administration of North Borneo.

The British North Borneo Company effectively ruled up to 1942, after more than 60 years in Sabah, when the World War Two erupted. Japanese forces occupied Sabah until she was liberated by the Allied Forces in 1945. After the war, North Borneo was administered by the British Military Administration until civil government was restored on July 15, 1946.

In 1946, Sabah was placed under the British Crown as the British North Borneo Company could not afford to rebuild Sabah after the devastation of the War. The destruction of the capital Sandakan by allied bombing was so complete that Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu) was chosen as the alternative post-war capital and it has remained since then.

Sabah joined Malaysia in 1963 when Malaysia was formally established, on 16 September 1963 and North Borneo's name was changed to Sabah. Preceding this, North Borneo obtained self-government from the British on 31 August 1963. Sabah entered a new era when she became part of Malaysia.

New Evidence Shows Sultan of Brunei NEVER Ceded North Borneo to the Sulu Sultanate

Sabah and the Sulu claims

Thursday, March 7, 2013

THE 1968 Programme Book for the Coronation of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah as the 29th Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, had two interesting documents inserted inside.
The documents were reproduction of two treaties taken from microfilm kept at the Public Record Office in London.

The first treaty was signed by Brunei's 24th Sultan, Sultan Abdul Momin, appointing Baron de Overbeck as the Maharaja Sabah, Rajah Gaya and Sandakan signed on 29th December 1877.

The second treaty was signed by Sultan Jamalalulazam of Sulu appointing Baron de Overbeck as Dato Bendahara and Raja Sandakan on 22nd January 1878, about three weeks after the first treaty was signed.

That begs the question: Who was responsible for Sabah or North Borneo as it was known then towards the end of the 19th century?

 That probably has a bearing on the event now unfolding in Lahad Datu in Sabah, where a group of armed men supposedly from the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo is claiming that they are the rightful owners of Sabah.

Many of the early modern accounts of written history in Brunei noted that Sulu was given possession of Sabah or parts of Sabah for help rendered to Sultan Muhydin, the 14th Sultan of Brunei who fought a civil war against the 13th Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Abdul Mubin.

Sultan Abdul Mubin usurped the throne after killing Sultan Muhammad Ali when the latter tried to stop Sultan Abdul Mubin from taking his revenge for the death of his son killed by the son of Sultan Muhammad Ali. Sultan Abdul Mubin appointed Sultan Muhydin as Bendahara but eventually Sultan Muhydin tricked Sultan Abdul Mubin into leaving Brunei for Pulau Cermin and appointed himself as the new Sultan of Brunei. The two Sultans fought against each other and Sultan Muhyidin finally triumphed, said to be due to the assistance provided by the Sulu Sultanate.

Sir Hugh Low, writing in the Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (JSBRAS) published on 5 June 1880 entitled 'Selesilah (Book of Descent) of the Rajas of Bruni', wrote that "by the assistance of a force from the Sultan of Soolok, the forts on the island (Pulau Cermin) were captured".

Earlier Sir Hugh Low described the negotiation between Sulu and Brunei: "the Bataraa of Soolok went up to Bruni and met the Sultan Muaddin and having feasted and drank, the Sultan asked the Batara for his assistance to destroy the enemies at the island, promising that if the island should be conquered, the land from the North as far as westward as Kimani should belong to Soolook".

HR Hughes-Hallett writing in the Journal of the Malayan Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society published in August 1940 entitled A Sketch of the History of Brunei wrote: "by the beginning of the 18th century, the kingdom (Brunei) had been territorially diminished by the cession to the Sultan of Sulu in the north".

CA Majul in his book Muslims in the Philippines (1973) referred to a letter from Sultan Jamalul Azam of Sulu to the Governor General of Spain on 17 September 1879 that the coast area from Kimanis to Balikpapan was to pay tribute to the Sultan which he said proved that the Brunei territory facing Suluk was ceded to Suluk.

Interestingly enough, Pehin Jamil Umar writing in his book, Tarsilah Brunei II: Period of Splendour and Fame (2007), countered all of the above. Pehin Jamil did not deny the fact that the Sulus were invited and promised the northern Brunei territory by Sultan Muhydin if they helped him win the civil war against Sultan Abdul Mubin. However, during the battle for Pulau Cermin, the Sulu forces who were supposed to attack the island from Pulau Keingaran and from the sea, did not do so. They were terrified by the resistance of Sultan Abdul Mubin's forces in Pulau Cermin. It was only after Sultan Muhydin had won the battle did the Sulu forces landed and took the opportunity to seize a number of war booties.

According to Pehin Jamil, Sultan Muhydin refused to cede the territories claimed by Sulu. Pehin Jamil noted that the area was only "claimed" and not "ceded", as Sir Stamford Raffles, in his book "History of Java" (1830), had noted "on the north-east of Borneo proper (Brunei) lies a very considerable territory (Sabah), the sovereignty of which has long been claimed by Sulu Government".

Pehin Jamil further noted that according to the oral tradition, Sulu continued to press their claim. In 1775, one of their chiefs came to Brunei pretending to seek fresh water. What they really wanted was to seek an audience with the Sultan regarding Sabah. However, the Sultan ordered one of the chief wazirs to see them and he threatened that if they wanted to pursue their intention, he will kill them all. The Sulus immediately left. Despite that setback, the Sulus continue to maintain their claims.

The argument that Brunei has not ceded Sabah to Sulu is supported by LR Wright in her book The Origins of British Borneo (1970). She wrote: "indeed, the legitimacy of the Sulu claim to the territory (North Borneo) is in considerable doubt partly because of the unreliability of tarsilas such as 'Selesilah', which in many cases are nothing more than written-down legends to enhance the status of the royal house which produced them. Succeeding Sultans of Brunei have denied that northern Borneo was given to Sulu, and only the weight of Sulu tradition supports the claim. The weight of Brunei tradition challenges it".

The Sulu claim is currently resting on that treaty which was mentioned at the beginning of this article signed by Sultan Jamalalulazam of Sulu appointing Baron de Overbeck as Dato Bendahara and Raja Sandakan on 22nd January 1878. But at the beginning of this article, there is, in fact, another treaty which was signed earlier by Sultan Abdul Momin appointing Baron de Overbeck as the Maharaja Sabah, Rajah Gaya and Sandakan signed on 29th December 1877. In 1877, the Brunei Sultanate then still believed and maintained that the territory was in fact still under the control of the Brunei Sultanate.

Another interesting document is the British North Borneo Treaties Protocol of 1885 signed in Madrid, which is also known as the Madrid Protocol of 1885, a copy of which can be found on Sabah State Attorney General's website. It was signed by the British, Germany and Spain who was the predecessor government of the Philippines. The two most important articles are Article I British and Germany recognising the sovereignty of Spain over the Sulu Archipelago and Article III Spain relinquishing all claims to Borneo.

This article serves only to point out that past events have repercussions on the present and more so if the past events were not clearly defined as in this particular case.
