Target Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, & now Brunei ?
-
When Malaysia was formed, British North Borneo was incorporated into it, and renamed as Sabah.
This was done despite the protests from the Philippines, who claimed that the Sultan that resided in Southern Philippines had ruled British North Borneo that was seized and colonized by Britain.
After Saba, Malaysia disputed with Indonesia over the islands of Sipadan and Litigan; with the matter being brought to the International Court of Justice.
Malaysian won with some good legal footwork that caught the Indonesian on the wrong foot.
With the Islands of Sipadan and Litigan sewn up, the Malaysian Government has turned its attention on Pedra Branca.
Now that the Governments of Malaysian and Singapore will soon sign a document to indicate the mutual acceptance and agreement to send the matter to the ICJ; Malaysia has started another grabbing effort to add more territory into their border.
In the news reporter in the Wednesday edition of TODAY, it was reported that Malaysia and Brunei have both awarded separate overlapping contracts to different groups of Oil Drilling Companies.
These overlapping oil drilling contracts are awarded separately by the Brunei and Malaysian Governments, in an area that both Governments have claimed.
It looks like another dispute is brewing, between Malaysia with yet again another one of Malaysia's neighbors -
philippines govt has renounced the claim to sabah a few years back although some of their senators and congressmen occasionally still throw this issue into the limelight......Originally posted by Atobe:When Malaysia was formed, British North Borneo was incorporated into it, and renamed as Sabah.

Malaysia Strikes Again

Well, this is part of the history that they can't really do anything at all. Only part of Sabah, specifically Sulu is the area in dispute (or more, which I don't know)Originally posted by Atobe:When Malaysia was formed, British North Borneo was incorporated into it, and renamed as Sabah.

Singapore as an example, was taken by British in almost a similar situation. Singapore, at 1819, was part of the Johore Empire (Consist of Singapore, Mainland Johor, Pahang, Rhio-Lingga Islands). Because Johore Sultanate was originally under Bugis influence, in which under Dutch influence, in which recognised the passing Sultan of Johore's younger son, Tengku Abdul Rahman as the Sultan(but the eldest normally take the throne). The eldest was Hussein. Then blah, blah, blah (check your history books, quite complicated, no time to explain). Who became "Sultan of Singapore", the original Sultan Tengku Abdul Rahman headquatered at the Rhio-Lingga Islands, so he became Sultan of Rhio-Lingga. A Chief ruled Pahang, the Temenggong Abdul Rahman became Sultanm of Johor.
