For hundreds of years, Muslim sultans ruled the southern Philippines and the northern part of the island of Borneo.
They leased their land to the British in colonial times - and the territory is now divided between Malaysia and the Philippines.
But as Marga Ortigas reports from Sulu, the descendents of the ancient monarchs have not given up hope of one day reclaiming their kingdom.

Taking Sabah would mean war the Malaysians and many innocent people will be killed. It is not worth risking more lives when there is already a war going on in Mindanao. The Malaysians can keep Sabah but please stop supporting the Muslim rebels to show your gratitude. The Sultan of Zulu perhaps have different opinion, the invasion of Sabah if he is as powerful as president Arroyo.
according to history, sabah was part of the sultanate of sulu when the kingdom of brunei gave it to the sultan as a gift when sulu helped brunei with its internal war. when the spaniards came, they never entered sulu because of insurgency against them but the sultan gave permission to the English conqueror who is in malaysia to exploit sabah in an agreement of renting it and returning it to the real owner which is the philippines. but they never return it even the US reminded UK about it
in international law, a government who lease or rent a land should give the land back to the real owner after 99 years of staying in it. hongkong which was leased by the english and returned back to china after 99 years while portugal gave back macao. england never listened to the plea of the philippines and the sultan of sulu. Pres. Diosdado Macapagal, father of incumbent pres. Gloria Arroyo, cut Manila's diplomatic relations to KL in support to the sultan.
Indonesia filed a case in the international court in The Hague against its claim on sabah. malaysia replied to it and win the case in favor of KL. Philippines filed a case also in the international court but until now malaysia never answered the case. in the 2 plebiscite in sabah whether they want indonesia, malaysia or philippine territory. malaysia won eliminating indonesia during the first vote. in the 2nd votation, malaysia still won with the philippines following a close vote
sabah is closer than Manila than its Malaysian capital of KL.sabah-manila=1143. while KL=1678. the british gave assurance of the sultan of sulu in providing weapons against the spaniards. in return they will exploit sabah. in 1972, pres. marcos secretly trained army in the coast of corrigidor in manila to penetrate sabah via armed secession but the army mutinied and banned. this led to some speculation that KL is aiding muslim separitist by means of weapons agains the Philippines
@SultanKiramAlfhadz3... Kung hindi ako magkakamali, ang pagkaalam ko ang mga ninuno ng mga taong umabot pa at dumating sa Visayas ay galing sa Sabah at ang mga taga Mindanao ay may mga kamag-anak pa doon. Ibig sabihin ang mga taong ito ay libreng nagpapalipat lipat sa mga lugar na iyon dahil ang maga lugar na ito ay sakop ng Pilipinas bago pa dumating ang mga kastila.
Ako personally naniniwala na ang Sabah ay parti ng Pilipinas sa pamammagitan ng Kahari-an ng Sulu. At ayaw ko rin ng gulo o giyera pero kung kinakailangan talagang dumaan sa ganoon, anong magagawa natin. Alam ko na ang mga kapatid niyong Pilipino ay kusang makikipaglaban kasama ninyo at sa tabi niyo sa pagtayo ng katotohanan.
@SultanKiramAlfhadz3... Hindi natin maipagkaila na talagang malakas sila laban sa atin noong panahon na iyon pero kahit na ganoon lumaban din ang mga ninuno natin. Kaya nga pinatay si Rizal. Ang iniisip ko lang kung talagang lahat na dala ng mga kastila as kasamaan, bakit ang mga kristiyano tahimik ngayon? Oo nga merong kristiyano mga kriminal pero wala na ang mga kristiyano kinakalaban na ibang relihiyon.
@SultanKiramAlfhadz3 Hindi mo maririnig sa mga Kristiyano na dapat kalabanin awayin o o patayin ang mga hindi naniniwala. Hindi naman natin maipagkaila na meron talagang nga radical na mga Muslim na gusto lang patayin ang ibang relihiyon o paniniwala. Kahit dito lang sa Youtube marami ka nang Makita.
@SultanKiramAlfhadz3 Kaya nga tinanggap ng mga Kristiyano kahit sino, Buddhist ka man o Hindu o Muslim o Kristiyano basta namumuhay lang ng marangal. Sa Luzon at sa Visayas, kalat na rin ang mga kapatid na Muslim at marami sa kanila nagmamayari na ng lupa at ari-arian sa mga lugar na ito, pero naririnig ba natin na ititnataboy sila? Ang panahon ngayon ay makabago na. Ang mga relihiyon dapat ay nag evolve na rin sa katinuan.
