Sabah, a region in the northern part of the island of Borneo, has long been a subject of dispute between Malaysia and the Philippines. While Malaysia administers Sabah as one of its states, the Philippines claims that the region is part of its territory. This claim is based on the history of the Sultanate of Sulu that once ruled the region. However, is the claim that “Sabah is now part of the Philippines” valid?

In 1878, the Sultan of Sulu signed a treaty with the British North Borneo Company, granting it administrative rights over Sabah. After the colonial period, Sabah became part of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. Since then, Malaysia has considered Sabah an integral part of its country. However, the Philippines continues to maintain its claim over Sabah, citing historical ties with the Sultanate of Sulu.
