Another interesting Thesis
written by Filipino Scholar
Ruben G. Domingo, for his
Master of Science in
Resource Planning and
Management for
International Defence
Degree at Philippine Military
Academy entitled “The
Muslim Secessionist
Movement in The Philippines
issues and
prospects" (1995) reads
"The Sultan of Brunei who
originally ruled Sabah ceded
it to the Sultan of Sulu in
1704 as a reward for
helping suppress an
uprising in his domain. In
1878, the Sultan's
successor, Jamalul Azam,
leased the territory to
William Cowie and Baron
von Overbeck for 5,000
Malaysian Dollars.
Overbeck was then the
Austrian consul at Hong
Kong and former local
manager of the British
opium firm of Dent and
Company. Whether the
terms of the deal were that
Sabah was ceded or leased
would become the bone of
contention between
Malaysia and the Philippines.
Soon after the agreement,
the British North Borneo
was formed and awarded a
royal charter.
A treaty signed in 1930 by
the United States and the
British Crown circumscribed
the future territorial
jurisdiction of the soon to
be established Philippines
Republic. This treaty DID
NOT INCLUDE SABAH within
the boundaries of Spanish,
American or Philippines
jurisdiction. Then, six days
after the Philippines was
granted independence, the
British North Borneo
Company turned all its
rights and obligations to
the British Government,
which in turn asserted full
sovereign rights over Sabah
through the North Borneo
Cession Order.
