The claim over Sabah by the Philippines is a disquieting issue for Malaysia
and the Philippines’ bilateral relationship. The claim over Sabah or the
North Borneo dispute as it is often referred to, is the claim of both states
over much of the eastern parts of Sabah, one of Malaysia’s thirteen states.
The Philippines declared its claim over Sabah in 1962 under the leadership
of Diosdado Macapagal, the then Philippine President. The claim was
communicated to the United Kingdom, which had possessed the area
formerly. The article attempts to describe the origin of the dispute as well as
diplomatic efforts made by Malaysia and the Philippines to resolve the
issue. The conflicts that had occurred between the two parties over the issue
and diplomatic efforts by both and by the international community at large
would be explored and discussed.
