- PART ONE of our tour of Sabah, Malaysia! We are so excited to partner with Sabah Tourism and bring this next set of videos to you. We got to explore the most beautiful parts of Borneo starting in Kota Kinabalu (or KK), then driving through the mountains and seeing Mount Kinabalu, a little detour to see a Rafflesia flower in bloom, then we headed to Sandakan to explore the Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Center, & see Orangutans at the famous Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center. If you are planning a trip to Borneo, this next set of videos will show you all kinds of tips to help you plan your visit to this beautiful place!
And we are just getting started! In next weeks video we head to the jungles to stay off the grid at an adventure resort to look for some of Borneos most treasured wildlife. I won't share the whole story, but let's just say we stumbled upon a large herd of Pygmy Elephants while we were there. Can't wait to share more of Sabah with you!

+ OUR STORY
Based in South Carolina, we are a full-time traveling family. Colin was born and raised in Malaysia and moved to the U.S by himself at age 19. Meg was a military kid born in Germany and the both us have always had a dream that we would 'travel the world' as kids. After 7 years of marriage and two kids later, we got selected by @Airbnb to join the 'Live Anywhere' program and we have been making our dreams come true, one trip at a time.

@Tara Marie Karen Gubac "HISTORY THAT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN BY THE DESCENDANTS OF SULTAN SULU AND THE PEOPLE OF SULTAN KIRAM D SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES ..... THIS IS HIS HISTORY" ■ Original author from BRUNEI DARUSSALAM ■ 👉 SABAHAN Especially for the knowledge of the YOUNG GENERATION of SABAH there if our generation is no longer there you spread and convey to your grandchildren about the history of the origin of the STATE of SABAH. THE STATE OF SABAH was a colony under the STATE of BRUNEI DARUSSALAM as early as the reign of the first SULTAN OF BRUNEI, SULTAN MUHAMMAD SHAH (AWANG ALAK BETATAR) (Year 1363 ~ 1402 AD) until the end of the 19th century for 500 years. During the BRUNEI Civil War (1661 ~ 1673), SULTAN MUHYIDDIN had promised the East Coast Region of SABAH to his cousin SULTAN SULU if he helped him fight SULTAN ABDUL HAKKUL MUBIN (who was fortified on CHERMIN ISLAND in KUALA SUNGAI BRUNEI in 1673). However, the SULTAN of SULU did not carry out the task given to him well, causing the wrath of SULTAN MUHHYIDDIN who refused to hand over SABAH to the Sultanate of SULU. Since then, the SULU Sultanate has only claimed the East Coast Region of SABAH. This is evidenced from the note "THE HISTORY OF JAVA" by SIR THOMAS STAMFORD RAFFLES in 1817 who said that "On the north ~ east of BORNEO proper (BRUNEI) lies a very considerable territory (SABAH), the sovereignty of which has long been claimed by SULU GOVERNMENT. "[CLAIMED = MENUNTUT, bukan bererti" MENGUASAI "]" Until 1865, SULTAN ABDUL MOMIN, BRUNEI had leased the Western Province of SABAH (claimed by the SULTAN of SULU) to CHARLES LEE MOSES (C.L. Moses then sold his rights to W.J. TORREY and TORREY sold his rights to BARON VON OVERBECK, Consul of the Austro ~ Hungarian Empire in HONG KONG). BARON VON OVERBECK together with ALFRED DENT (HONG KONG) later established the DENT COMPANY. In 1877, BARON VON OVERBECK went to BRUNEI to make a new lease agreement with SULTAN ABDUL MOMIN. Sultan Abdul Momin BRUNEI has appointed him MAHARAJA SABAH and RAJA GAYA and SANDAKAN. Realizing that the SULTAN SULU also claimed the East Coast Region of SABAH at that time, BARON VON OVERBECK also made an Agreement with the SULTAN SULU on the East Coast Region of SABAH which the SULTAN SULU claimed as a guarantee to avoid problems in the future (and he was appointed by the SULTAN OF SULU as RAJA SANDAKAN and DATO 'BENDAHARA). The lease amount for the Coastal Region of SABAH paid by BARON VON OVERBECK to the SULTAN OF BRUNEI is $ 12,000.00 per annum and $ 3,000.00 to TEMENGGONG BRUNEI, while the money paid to the SULTAN of SULU was $ 5,000.00 per annum under the agreement of BARON VON OVERBECK with the SULTAN of SULU in 1878. BARON VON OVERBECK then sold all his rights to ALFRED DENT, Founder of the BRITISH NORTH BORNEO COMPANY, who administered SABAH (NORTH BORNEO) 1882 ~ 1946, which later handed it over to the BRITISH Government. If you look at the SABAH lease documents in December, 1877 there is a condition that if BARON VON OVERBECK or his successor does not pay the lease rent for three (3) years then the SULTAN OF BRUNEI/ TEMENGGONG BRUNEI has the right to take back all the East Coast Territories of SABAH leased it. But BRUNEI is NOT claiming SABAH. This is because the people of SABAH had chosen MALAYSIA in 1963, that is a respected choice though felt sad in the hearts of some BRUNEI people at the time. And until now, the relationship between the PEOPLE of BRUNEI and SABAH (MALAYSIA BORNEO) remains close as relatives, even if they do not live in the same house (COUNTRY), they still sit next door (NEIGHBORHOOD COUNTRY), remain friendly and respect each other. Those who are entitled to "NO" demand, on the other hand those who are "NOT RIGHT" ("SULU SULTANATE") who constantly want to demand. Attached herewith are the relevant SABAH lease agreement documents in 1877, namely: ● PROOF SABAH WAS UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF BRUNEI DARUSSALAM UNTIL 29TH DECEMBER, 1877 AND BEFORE THAT WAS NEVER SUBMITTED TO ANY COUNTRY/ GOVERNMENT (INCLUDING "SULU SULTANATE"). ● For everyone's information, these original documents are kept in PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM and has COLONIAL OFFICE reference numbers: 874/2, 874/17, 874/18, 874/19 & 874/20. ■ PLEASE SHARE FOR EVERYONE'S KNOWLEDGE ... !! CORRECT THE WRONG HISTORY OF SABAH IN THE TEXT BOOK. ■
@Tara Marie Karen Gubac I didn't notice any Philippines flag in Sabah. There are lots of Malaysian flags because of Malaysian national day. Can you explain why Sabah is not celebrating Philippines national day?
Do Filipinos need passport and visa to visit Sabah just like tourist from Ethiopia, Somalia or Myanmar?
Cringe
I read the news about the Sultanate of Sulu vs Malaysia, and the winner is the first. Good luck guys.
@@henryroldan2051, then you are out dated.
Latest news as in June 2023:
1. June 6th - Paris Court of Appeal had set aside and annulled the previous Paris Court (lower court) ruling awarding the heirs of the defunct Sulu Sultanate.
2. June 27th - Dutch Court of Appeal in The Haque had dismissed a bid by eight descendants of former Sultan of Sulu to enforce the arbitration award by Paris Court (lower court) ruling and dismissed an attempt to seize Malaysian Petronas assets following the Paris Court of Appeal decision.
3. Paris Court of Appeal also imposed on Sulu €100,000.00 ( Euro currency) to be paid to Malaysia as legal cost.
4. Mean while I Luxembourg, a second attempt to seize Malaysian Petronas assets had been filed in Luxembourg Court due for hearing in September 2023 after the first attempt was dismissed. This will likely be dismissed too following the Paris Court of Appeal decision.
It is not about "luck" but about who is right and who is wrong.
welcome to sabah....
Terima Kasih Cikgu! Thank you for watching our video 👌🏽
Yeahhh sandakan my hometown
Woohoo! Thanks for watching our video Valentina🥰
@@colinandmeg are u still in sabah or nope??
@@valentinafung8035 Thanks for asking, we left a few weeks ago sadly :(
Very nice video...from Trg, Malaysia.
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching!
Isn't there a travel advisory against travelling to East Malaysia? Says there's been kidnappings and deaths by pirates? Which areas to avoid? Any updates?
Those areas (which are some of the now uninhabited islands & its surrounding seas) have not been accessible for tourists or even locals (for so many years already) as they are heavily guarded by the Malaysian coast guards & army/navy. So travelling to East Malaysia is actually safe. Not really sure why the US travel advisory still hasn’t updated their notice in ages.
👍🏼👍🏼🌺
It’s truly beautiful to see it in person! Have you seen it before?
@@colinandmeg I hope to as God leads🌷
@@terrigoone7084 Do you live in Sabah?
I was surprised by how easy it was to find, all just a matter of timing. Next time you're in Ranau, head to Poring and and if you keep driving down you'll see a little shop. The owner is the one that owns the land where he has a lot of Rafflesias growing. For RM15 he'll take you to go see them. Hope you see it!
A true sabahan indeed !!😂”betulbah?”
Haha yes! I'm a Sabahan through and through. Glad you watched our video, hope you stick around for more!
Can Ray be my tour guide too , never been to Sabah though
Reach out to STWA! They ran our whole tour and you can request for Ray :)
Sabah ...philippines🇵🇭
Why do you say that?
Philippines, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Yes, in your dream.
Philippines claims Sabah on the basis that Sabah was said to be once under Sulu Sultanate. Descendants of former Sultan of Sulu claim that Sabah belonged to Sulu Sultanate because Sabah was given by Brunei the original owner to Sulu as a gift. But Brunei refuted this claim and denied ever having given Sabah to Sulu. There was NO DOCUMENT regarding the transfer of ownership of Sabah from Brunei to Sulu signed by both Sultans.
In fact on 29 December 1877, the Sultan of Brunei ceded the whole of Sabah to BNBC/British and concurrently appointed Baron Von Overback, the co-owner of BNBC as Maharajah of Sabah and Rajah of Sandakan and Gaya. This cession agreement was documented.
When BNBC went to Sabah to begin their business, Sulu claimed that Sabah belonged to Sulu. BNBC agreed to enter a "pajak" agreement with Sulu after they were advised by their fellow businessmen in Hong Kong who advised that Sulu would attack them if they didn't have a deal with Sulu. This "pajak'' agreement was signed on 22 January 1878. BNBC understood that this "pajak" was a "cession", so did early generation of Sulu Sultan accepted it as "cession". Only later generation of descendants of former Sultan of Sulu claimed that the "pajak" agreement was meant to be "rent" or "lease''. Still there was NO DOCUMENT regarding the transfer of ownership of Sabah from Brunei to Sulu signed by both Sultans. The two above events led to an overlapping issue on Sabah.
What ever it was, the above agreement and overlapping issue were superceded by later event. On 22 July 1878, the then Sultan of Sulu had relinquished all his possession and sovereignty of Sulu and it's territories including Sabah to Spain. The Sultanate of Sulu only remained as hereditary cultural and traditional entity without any sovereign territory.
In 1885, to resolve overlapping issue on Sabah and other issues involving other islands, Britain, Spain and Germany arrived to an agreement known as Madrid Protocol in which Spain surrendered Sabah to Britain. As new owner of Sabah Britain had full control and sovereignty over Sabah and they could do what ever they wanted. Sulu could not claim anything because they had already relinquished the sovereignty of Sabah to Spain and Spain surrendered Sabah to Britain.
What ever happened to Sabah after that was under British jurisdiction. Even though British had full control and sovereignty of Sabah, they still honoured the annual "cession money" payment stipulated in the "pajak'' agreement as consolation for the Sulu Sultan. So did Malaysia when formed in 1963, still honoured the annual "cession money" payment as consolation for the Sulu Sultan. The term "cession money" was used because to use the term "consolation" was felt to be too degrading. Thus the term "cession money" was continually used as used before by the British.
On 31 August 1963 Britain gave independence to Sabah and before that on 22 July 1963 Sarawak was given independence. The people of Sabah and Sarawak had exercised self determination to form Malaysia together with Malaya and Singapore. The sovereignty of Sabah and Sarawak as component states of Malaysia is intact and recognized internationally and recognized by the UN. This was confirmed and clearly stated in the United Nations Malaysia Mission Report "Final Conclusion of the Secretary-General", 14 September 1963. The last sentence of the report says:
"I fervently hope that the people of these territories will achieve progress and prosperity, and find their fulfillment as component states of Malaysia".
Full text of the report can even be accessed from the Philippines Government Gazette website.
Please can you provide the name of this hotel?
Hey there! Which one? We stayed in a few in this video 😂
Sabah has the most islands in Malaysia, however due to transportation issues, most are yet to be developed.
😯Imagine if there were more places to discover! It's kinda like the emergence of Bohey Dulang in the recent years.
Enjoy yourself here in Malaysia
Thank you so much!
I hope there won't be any comments from Filipino netizens saying "Sabah Philippines". Now that Marcos had been elected as new president, the rhetorics of claiming Sabah to be part of Philippines will be more intense.
welcome to sabah malaysia
Thank you! We ♥️ Sabah
Sabah is my surname and I’m from west Africa Ghana, someone help me understand something. Anyway from this place tell me more.
Hi there! Sabah is one of 13 states in the country of Malaysia and is where I grew up. It's on the island of Borneo.

BNBC agreed to enter a "pajak" agreement with Sulu after they were advised by their fellow businessmen in Hong Kong who advised that Sulu would attack them if they didn't have a deal with Sulu. This "pajak'' agreement was signed on 22 January 1878. BNBC understood that this "pajak" was a "cession", so did early generation of Sulu Sultan accepted it as "cession". Only later generation of descendants of former Sultan of Sulu claimed that the "pajak" agreement was meant to be "rent" or "lease''. Still there was NO DOCUMENT regarding the transfer of ownership of Sabah from Brunei to Sulu signed by both Sultans. The two above events led to an overlapping issue on Sabah.
What ever it was, the above agreement and overlapping issue were superceded by later event. On 22 July 1878, the then Sultan of Sulu had relinquished all his possession and sovereignty of Sulu and it's territories including Sabah to Spain. The Sultanate of Sulu only remained as hereditary cultural and traditional entity without any sovereign territory.
In 1885, to resolve overlapping issue on Sabah and other issues involving other islands, Britain, Spain and Germany arrived to an agreement known as Madrid Protocol in which Spain surrendered Sabah to Britain. As new owner of Sabah Britain had full control and sovereignty over Sabah and they could do what ever they wanted. Sulu could not claim anything because they had already relinquished the sovereignty of Sabah to Spain and Spain surrendered Sabah to Britain.
What ever happened to Sabah after that was under British jurisdiction. Even though British had full control and sovereignty of Sabah, they still honoured the annual "cession money" payment stipulated in the "pajak'' agreement as consolation for the Sulu Sultan. So did Malaysia when formed in 1963, still honoured the annual "cession money" payment as consolation for the Sulu Sultan. The term "cession money" was used because to use the term "consolation" was felt to be too degrading. Thus the term "cession money" was continually used as used before by the British.
On 31 August 1963 Britain gave independence to Sabah and before that on 22 July 1963 Sarawak was given independence. The people of Sabah and Sarawak had exercised self determination to form Malaysia together with Malaya and Singapore. The sovereignty of Sabah and Sarawak as component states of Malaysia is intact and recognized internationally and recognized by the UN. This was confirmed and clearly stated in the United Nations Malaysia Mission Report "Final Conclusion of the Secretary-General", 14 September 1963. The last sentence of the report says:
"I fervently hope that the people of these territories will achieve progress and prosperity, and find their fulfillment as component states of Malaysia".

Sabah is part of Philippines not Malaysia. Lots of stateless people in Sabah but Malaysia never do such actions but only for oil....
That’s so interesting, what do you think will happen soon?
Philippines claims Sabah on the basis that Sabah was said to be once under Sulu Sultanate. Descendants of former Sultan of Sulu claim that Sabah belonged to Sulu Sultanate because Sabah was given by Brunei the original owner to Sulu as a gift. But Brunei refuted this claim and denied ever having given Sabah to Sulu. There was NO DOCUMENT regarding the transfer of ownership of Sabah from Brunei to Sulu signed by both Sultans.
