101 East - Stateless in Sabah - 21 Aug 08 Part 2

The Malaysian state of Sabah on Borneo Island has long been known as a land of promise. Its proximity to Indonesia and the southern Philippines and its rich natural resources, have combined to make Sabah a magnet for migrants in the region. Today, some estimate that nearly half of Sabah's population is made up of foreigners who are fleeing conflict or seeking employment

All this Philippine ignorance thought North Borneo don't have government after they get independence. North Borneo govern them self so it not belong to anyone. It belong to Sabahan natives. Malaysia still paying Philippine bcoz it what British do before and Malaysia have to bringing this issue to ICJ in order to stop the payment permanently.

Foreign guest? WHT!! they are illegal immigrant. The government welcome you if you have the paper. Even they don't have the paper they still get the protection from the government. What more can you ask. You the one who should accept the fact that you are not in your homeland and Malaysia have law, remember!! Help boosting Tourism or help boosting crime.

@bryanlouie1 LOL, the British rented Sabah in 1878 from the Sultan of Sulu, for weapons, support against the Spanish, and $1500 Mexican Dollars of that time for monthly rent. Never was it leased during Marcus time

Malaysia rented the Sabah during the time of pres. Marcos of Phils. what did malAysia do? they brought thier squaters to sabah and claimed it. Sabah is originally owned by the Philippines it has evidence.time will come sabah and pilipinas will be one.

but before your both SULTAN empire ruled us, we , the dayaks (native people of kalimantan,sabah,sarawak) people had live here in borneo for 20,000 years before your kingdom rise .... before any christian. muslim, hindhu, buddha came here.

BORNEO IS FOR DAYAK. a DAYAK KINGDOM! (LAND OF LEGENDARY HEAD HUNTERS)

Government of the Philippine its self is afraid to wage war on their people, why would they wage war for a Island that is not even controlled by the Government and the Country, Philippines has no right to say to reclaim Sabah as part of the country, Government can't even handle the problems within in the government and the country, and there are two main reasons why Philippines is A divided nation 1)Corruption 2)Religion therefore I conclude ''Philippine Government has no BALLS to be worthy of''
