Is "SABA" really a part of malaysia?

Question

there is a claim that its part of philippine territory and i read something that the malaysian embassy in the philippines is paying $1500 annually to the heirs of sultanate of sulo (of the philippines) as a rent..

why do you have to pay the rent of some thing you think you owns? its a common sense..

Answer 1

$1500 per year is toooooooo cheap. how much is the total after convert it to Peso? is it enough to feed the SUlu Zulu whatsoever for a year? if you guys miss Sabah a lot, pls visit Sabah..and don't forget to bring your passport...we hate illegal immigrants.

Answer 2

sabah is a part of malaysia

Answer 3

it is called sabah

Answer 4

yes,i agree with you that we should not pay even one cent to the so-called Sultan Sulu's heir.I am now studying in Sabah and have to mourn for expensive goods here everyday.Will the brainless M'sia BN gov give me RM1500 for me to buy new books and get proper transport to my university?

Those who said this is merely mutual respect is an extravagant and 'kurang ajar' persons.

I can tell you that all the M'sians are even more eligible than that f_cking Sultan Sulu to get the $1500.

Sabah state government is an extravagant and useless government.They ask for billions of ringgit allocation to develop the state.However,what have they developed?

Answer 5

Although I think most answerers overreacted towards a simple question like this, I can't agree on your view either. For a fact, nobody owns Sabah.  If indeed Malaysia did pay the Sulu government (if it exists) or the Philippines, it is merely a sign of mutual respect. Nothing more, I would think :)

*sovereignity is not for rent ... ;-p~  

Answer 12

Well, let me tell u one thing. Malaysian government pays to the sultans of Perak, Terengganu, Pahang, and all the other states' sultan, but, those states are part of Malaysia too. And now, the Sulu Sultanate, is not under Phillipines, although their territories in the past was mostly Mindanao(now Phillipines). So, there is really nothing to it. Its just respecting them, because they were the great empire that used to rule Sabah.

Answer 13

First, there is no prove about the existence of the payment. It's just rumours.

Second, if it is indeed true, the heirs should be thankful that they still receive the money. Sultanate of Sulu no longer exists, even the Filipino government doesn't recognize its sovereignity. So basically, the heirs no longer eligible for the money as they don't have any official position in any way whatsoever. If the payment is stopped, what they can actually do? Sue Malaysia in ICJ? As what, non-existence sultanate? So they should take the pension money they don't deserve and keep quiet.

Lastly, can you name the real Sultan of Sulu today? The heirs no longer own Sabah, just as they no longer own Mindanao and Palawan. Sulu is nothing more than history.

Answer 14

to all my friends please read the history back.in history class please don`t sleep.a long time ago sabah is under the sultan sulu.then brooke came and made agreement with the sultan sulu.he pays the rent.for sarawak he pays the rent to sultan brunei.then british came and he has to surrender the contract to the british.and the other is history.as you know british give independence and as an act of faith the malaysia government still honour the agreement.
