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.

‘Akjan is an Umno frontman’

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah political activists are taken aback by the outright rejection by controversial businessman Mohd Akjan Ali Muhammad of a Royal Commission (RCI) to investigate the suspicious increase in Sabah’s legal population and the claim that citizenship had been exchanged for votes.

Akjan, a self-proclaimed sultan of Sulu, who made good in the state and is now chairman of the influential Malaysian Muslim Welfare Association (Pekida), took many by surprise when he returned to the public stage after sparking outrage for his claim to royalty earlier this year.

TENOM: Naib Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) Pusat Rudy Sulaiman Mairi (gambar), meminta Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) memberi penjelasan kepada rakyat Sabah status kes Pengerusi Pertubuhan Kebajikan dan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Pekida) Sabah Datu Mohd Akjan Datu Ali Muhammad berkaitan isu menabalkan dirinya sebagai Sultan Sulu beberapa bulan lalu.

Katanya, rakyat dinegeri ini masih keliru dan tertanya tanya apakah status kes tersebut setakat ini sama ada ianya dilupuskan begitu sahaja atau sebaliknya kerana sebelum itu kes tersebut pernah menggemparkan rakyat Sabah kerana ianya tidak pernah berlaku sebelum ini.

KOTA KINABALU: It is obvious now that a political party is behind Akjan in objecting the establishment of RCI. No wonder despite the calls by all parties and all concerned Sabahansto form the RCI, this particular party and its leaders from top to bottom are using every mean to dislodge any legitimate attempt to investigate the issuance of dubious citizenship to foreigners. Akjan himself a benefactor of this party has now allowed himself to be used by the party, for reasons best known to both.
