ABOUT THE TALK
Sabah: Untold Stories of the Past touches on little known aspects of history many Malaysians may not realize or know about Sabah and it’s history in brief. This includes the people of the land, migration in and out of Sabah, relationships with China and India, the establishment of a Brunei Sultanate that ruled over Sabah for over 400 years till the early to mid-19th CE when there is a decline in Brunei influence over Sabah coastlines and how it’s past relationship through marriage with members of the former Sulu Sultanate has led to claims of ownership in the mid-17th CE till today over Sabah.
The arrival of the Portuguese and then the Dutch and English change the landscape of trade and relationships between various kingdoms and Empires in South East Asia including Borneo.
Brunei’s decline in its Sphere of Influence and control over the Sabah coastlines was caused by a number of internal and external factors which led to Sabah first becoming an American colony before a hand over and signing over of ownership to the Europeans.
This leads us to the demands for independence and self-rule before talks for a merger to form Malaysia and the pressures of the world forced its political leaders to agree to a merger to form Malaysia.
