Sultan's heirs: Sabah is ours.
(From Manila Standard)
The Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo, fueled by indignation over the alleged maltreatment of Filipino deportees by the Malaysian government, asserted its claim to Sabah yesterday.
"Let it be known that we have sovereign and propriety rights over the territory of Sabah... These people (deportees) leaving there (Sabah) are leaving their homes," said Sultan Ismael D. Kiram, heir of the Sultan of Sulu and North Borneo Jamalul Kiram.
Kiram said Sabah was not given and never transferred to Malaysia, and remains to this day under the sovereignty of the Sultan of Sulu and the Philippines.
According to the counsel hired by the heirs, the 1915 Carpenter Agreement signed by the United States and Sultan Jamalul Kiram II upheld the sultanate's position that the termination of the Sultan's temporal sovereignty over the Sulu Archipelago did not mean an end to his continued sovereignty over North Borneo, now called Sabah.
He noted that the late President Diosdado Macapagal declared Sabah the property of the Sultan of Sulu "and within part and parcel of the territory of the Philippines."
"But if the present government is no longer interested to pursue the claim to Sabah, then what is best is that it should be returned to us. Anyway, we have sovereign rights over the territory of Sabah," Kiram said.
