Due to similarities in culture and language with the Kadazan ethnic group, a new unified term called "Kadazan-Dusun" was created. Collectively, they form the largest ethnic group in Sabah. A small minority of Dusuns can also be found in Brunei where they are defined by the constitution to be one of the seven Bumiputera groups.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Etymology</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For the majority of Dusuns, the word Dusun just means as it is i.e. Dusun people, without any references and implied meaning to any other words, be it from the Dusun language itself or any other languages. Coincidentally, Dusun is the Malay word that means "orchard" and is derived from "Orang Dusun" or "men of the orchards" as their houses are surrounded with fruit trees. A popular misconception is that the Dusun people named themselves (or were named) according to the Malay definition of the word Dusun. In actuality, even before the Malay language or British colonists had arrived in Sabah, the Dusun had long since called themselves by the name 'Dusun'.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Introduction</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ethnic group, makes up, at one time, 30% of Sabah population and are broken down into more than 30 sub-ethnic, or dialectical groups, or tribes each speaking a slightly different dialect of the Dusunic family language. They are mostly mutually understandable.The Dusun traded with the coastal people by bringing their agricultural produce to exchange for salt, salted fish, and other products. The name 'Dusun' was popularized by the British colonial masters who borrowed the term from the Brunei Malays.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The vast majority of Dusuns live in the hills and upland valleys and have a reputation for peacefulness, hospitality, hard work, frugality, drinking, and are averse to violence. Now they have very much been modernised and absorbed into the larger framework of the Malaysian society, taking up various occupations as government servants, and employees in the private sector, as well as becoming business owners. Many have achieved tertiary education both locally and overseas (in America, England, Rusia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In their old traditional setting they use various methods of fishing, including using the juice of the roots of a plant they call "tuba" to poison fish in rivers. Dusuns are known as the Latin artists of the East, being famous in the state for love and passion for music. Their traditional dances appear attractive and gentle full of passion for life, making the Dusun culture a popular and beautiful one, and much sought by tourists to Sabah.Even though Dusuns are known for their peaceful nature, they are also well known for their bravery and defiant nature towards oppression and foreign rule. Warriors in the Marudu district (the most fearsome being Kulindod), and in Tuaran fought off attacks of enemies—Irranuns in Marudu, and Bruneians and Irranuns in Tuaran.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<br />
Kota Kinabalu formerly Jesselton, is the capital of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabah">Sabah</a> state in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia">Malaysia</a>. It is also the capital of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Coast_Division">West Coast Division</a> of Sabah. The city is located on the northwest coast of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borneo">Borneo</a> facing the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Sea">South China Sea</a>. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunku_Abdul_Rahman_National_Park">Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park</a> lies on one side and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kinabalu">Mount Kinabalu</a>, which gave the city its name, is nearby. <br />
<br />
Kota Kinabalu proper has a population of 617,972 while the larger urban area has an estimated population of 900,000. It is the largest urban centre in Sabah and the sixth largest in Malaysia,Kota Kinabalu is often known as K.K. within Malaysia and internationally. It is a major tourist destination and a popular gateway for travellers visiting Sabah and Borneo.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinabalu_National_Park">Kinabalu National Park</a> is located about 90 kilometres from the city and there are many tourist attractions in and around the city. Kota Kinabalu is also one of the major industrial and commercial centres of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Malaysia">East Malaysia</a>. These two factors combine to make<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the late 1800s, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_North_Borneo_Company">British North Borneo Company</a> (BNBC) began to establish colonies throughout <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Borneo">North Borneo</a> (now Sabah). In 1882, the Company founded a small settlement in the area known as Gaya Bay which was already inhabited by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bajau">Bajau</a> people. The first settlement was on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulau_Gaya">Gaya Island</a> (Pulau Gaya). In 1897, this first settlement was burned and destroyed by the indigenous Bajau freedom fighter led by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_Salleh">Mat Salleh</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
After the rebellion, the Company decided to relocate the settlement to the more easily defended mainland opposite Pulau Gaya. A nearby fishing village named Api-Api (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Kinabalu#Original_names">Original names</a> below), was the next settlement of the Company. This new location was then designated as the main harbour and port, as well as the terminus for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Borneo_Railway">North Borneo Railway</a>. It was expanded and renamed Jesselton, named after Sir Charles Jessel, the then Vice Chairman of the Company.<br />
<br />
<br />
Eventually, Jesselton became a major trading post of North Borneo, dealing in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber">rubber</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rattan">rattan</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey">honey</a>, and wax. The new railway was used to transport goods to Jesselton harbour. The Malay and Bajau uprisings during these times were not uncommon, and the Company worked to quell the long-standing threat of piracy in the region.<br />

<br />
<br />
Jesselton was razed by the retreating British early in World War II to prevent it from falling into the hands of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Japan">Japanese</a>. After the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_occupation_of_Malaya,_North_Borneo_and_Sarawak">Japanese takeover of Borneo</a>, it was again renamed Api. Several rebellions against the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Japanese_Army">Japanese military</a> administration took place in Api. One major rebellion occurred in 1943 by the group called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kinabalu_Guerrillas&action=edit&redlink=1">Kinabalu Guerrillas</a>, consisting of local inhabitants. Japanese forces quelled the rebellion after its leader, Albert Kwok, was arrested and executed in 1944. At the later stages of the war, what remained of the town was destroyed again by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II">Allied</a> bombings as part of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borneo_Campaign_%281945%29">Borneo Campaign</a> in 1945, leaving only three buildings standing. The war in North Borneo ended with the official surrender of the Japanese 37th Army by Lieutenant General Baba Masao in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labuan">Labuan</a> on September 10, 1945.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After the war, the British North Borneo Company returned to administer Jesselton but was unable to finance the huge costs of reconstruction. They gave control of North Borneo to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_overseas_territory">British Crown</a> in 1946. The new colonial government elected to rebuild Jesselton as the capital of North Borneo instead of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandakan">Sandakan</a>, which had also been destroyed by the war.When North Borneo together with Sarawak, Singapore & Federation of Malaya formed the Federation of Malaysia in 1963, the state became known as Sabah and Jesselton remained its capital. Jesselton was renamed Kota Kinabalu on September 30, 1968 and received official city status from the Malaysian government on February 2, 2000.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Etymology">Etymology</span></h3>Kota Kinabalu is named after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kinabalu" title="Mount Kinabalu">Mount Kinabalu</a>, situated about 50 kilometres east-northeast of the city. Kinabalu derived from the name <i>Aki Nabalu</i> meaning the "revered place of the dead", in which, <i>Aki</i> means "ancestors" or "grandfather", and <i>Nabalu</i> being a name for the mountain in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusun" title="Dusun">Dusun</a> language.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7"></sup> There is also a source claiming that the term originated from <i>Ki Nabalu</i>, where <i>Ki</i> meaning "have" or "exist", and <i>Nabalu</i> meaning "spirit of the dead"<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-multiple_8-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Kinabalu#cite_note-multiple-8"></a></sup><br />
<i>Kota</i> is a Malay word for a "fort", "town", or a "city". It is also used formally in a few other Malaysian towns and cities, for example, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Bahru" title="Kota Bahru">Kota Bahru</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Tinggi" title="Kota Tinggi">Kota Tinggi</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Kemuning" title="Kota Kemuning">Kota Kemuning</a>. It could also be used informally to refer to any towns or cities. Henceforth, a direct translation of the name <i>Kota Kinabalu</i> into English would be "City of Kinabalu" or "Kinabalu City".<br />
<h3><span class="editsection"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Original_names">Original names</span></h3>Besides Jesselton, there has been a number of other claims as to the original name for Kota Kinabalu. The most popular, as mentioned above, is <i>Api-Api</i>, or sometimes simply <i>Api</i>, which is a Malay word meaning 'Fire'. It was apparently named as such by the mainly Bajau locals to denote the blazing of the British administrative office in Pulau Gaya instigated by Mat Salleh,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9"></sup> as well as other blazing incidents normally perpetrated by pirates. There were claims however that it was actually named after a nearby river called <i>Sungai Api-Api</i>. Besides Api-Api, another suggested historical name was <i>Deasoka</i>, which roughly means "below the coconut tree" in the Bajau language.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-thestar_10-0"></sup> The Bajau locals purportedly used this name to refer to a village on the southern part of the city which was filled with coconut trees. Another name was <i>Singgah Mata</i> which literally mean "transit eye", but can be loosely translated as meaning "pleasing to the eye". It is a name purportedly given by fishermen from Pulau Gaya referring to the strip of land of what is today Kota Kinabalu city center<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-11">.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Kinabalu#cite_note-11"></a></sup> Today, all these names have been immortalised into names of streets or buildings around the city. Some examples are: <i>Lintasan Deasoka</i>, <i>Api-Api Centre</i>, <i>Jalan Singgah Mata</i>, and <i>Jesselton Point</i>.<br />

The inhabitant population rose to 1800 in 1931. The Kuhara Rubber and Manila Hemp Estates and the Kubota Coconut Estates were the two largest plantations of the time. There were also coal mining activities in Silimpopon, 80 mile from Tawau, from 1905 to 1930, operated by the Cowie Harbour Coal Company. Most of the work force was largely Cantonese.

Dunlop who was a District Officer) and Man Cheong Street (now part of Dunlop Street). Man Cheong was a popular coffee shop. It still operates at Dunlop Street. Dunlop Street was so close to the shore that the shops on one side backed out over the high water mark. Most shops were owned by Chinese and sold the foodstuffs and equipment needed in households and on smallholdings. There were some coffee shops and lodging houses.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Tawau's centre was the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">padang</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> or Town Field, an open area, with the sea on one side and whitewashed timber buildings on the other three - the District Office, police quarters, the government resthouse, none more than two storeys high. A tower (which still stands at the Town Field) was erected by the Japanese after World War I and hours were rung at intervals by the police guard. The scene was tranquil and beautiful. Traffic was scarce - a handful of private cars, lorries and vehicles belonging to the estates. From the field, Dunlop Street branched into Apas Road, which branched off to the Kuhara rubber estates and Sin On. Its people knew intuitively that they had to live and work together. Despite the many races, ethnic groups and religions, the town was very peaceful.

Tawau Cocoa Village is situated at the world-renowned cocoa-planting site, Quoin Hill. Visitors are taken on a two-hour guided tour to see how cocoa is cultivated, harvested, fermented and dried before they are sent to the factory. In close proximity to the factory is a guest house. There is a gallery of cocoa products which tourists can buy as souvenirs. Tourists are served a variety of local fruits.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Following paths from the factory is a hiking trail which leads to a magnificent waterfall. The magnificent waterfall, also known as the Cocoa Culture Spring at the village is an ideal location for a picnic. Nature lovers will feel very much like entering a typical and tropical dense forest which is surrounded by a vast diversity of flora and fauna. The village has two main waterfalls and four mini cascades. Trek up and down steep stairways, following the sounds of babbling brooks will end at what promises to be a splendid waterfall. This waterfall is opened to the public and it is ideal for picnics and get-togethers of families and friends.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For more information, visit following URL :</span></div><ul style="line-height: 1.5em; list-style-image: url(http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/vector/images/bullet-icon.png?1); list-style-type: square; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 1.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.3em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><a class="external text" href="http://www.etawau.com/HTML/Travel/CocoaVillage.htm" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/vector/images/external-link-ltr-icon.png?2); background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #3366bb; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 13px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Tawau Cocoa Village</span></a></li>

Among them are the Kadazandusun, Bajau, Murut, Kedaya, Bisaya, Irranun, Rungus, Kimarang, Kwijau, Lundayeh, Ubian, Binadan, Orang Sungai, Tatana, Tagaas, Brunei, Suluk and others.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">The most notable difference among the various ethnic groups are their dialects, religions, customs, and way of life which includes their traditional costumes.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">The use of traditional costumes can be seen from two periods of time, that is the classical and modern periods. In the classical period, traditional costumes were worn during rituals, weddings as well as daily wear. In modern times, traditional costumes are only worn at special occasions like weddings and traditional functions.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">Most ethnic groups in Sabah use black as the dominant colour of their traditional costumes. The use of black stems from the belief that black is a godly colour and represents power that will protect the user from the bad spirits. Other beliefs state that the use of black is synonymous with the way of life and natural conditions at that particular time.</span></div><div align="justify"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">Personal Adornment</span></b></div><div align="justify"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">In the past, red gemstones, coloured glass beads, cowry shells, white buttons or disks made from shells and bronze were used to adorn the men and women’s clothes. Today most of these ornaments have been replaced with plastic beads and other more modern materials like gold and silver threads, sequins and coloured threads. As of old, these ornaments are still worn with belts made from various materials like shells, silver glass coins, bronze or other types of alloys. A waist cloth made of coloured rattan is used to tighten up the robe, pants, or vest. Necklace made from various materials are used as decoration around the neck and chest. Bracelets are also used to adorn the hands, wrists and feet.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">Traditional hats/headgear or scarves are normally used by the men and women as protection from the heat as well as to absorb perspiration. The headgear used during official functions are more beautiful and colourful. The ritual specialists wear headcovers and garments which are decorated differently when they are performing traditional functions. Today, the men still use the headgear (sigah) as part of their daily attire. The sigah is a square piece of cloth folded into different shapes according to the district the person is from. The women use beads, combs, scarves and traditional hats based on the occasion or functions held.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">Cited & Translated from :-</span></div><ol><li><br />

In this region the kingdom of Brunei was also the centre of trade with China. This region was in tum controlled by two great empires of that period; first by the Sri Vijayan of Sumatra and then by the Majapahit of Java. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">However, early in the 15 century, the Malacca empire under Parameswara spread its influence and took over the trade of Brunei. Through its traders, Islam spread to Brunei by the end of the 15 century. Leadership of the Islamic faith passed to the Brunei Sultans after the fall of Malacca to the Portuguese in 1511. Under Sultan Bolkiah, the kingdom of Brunei extended its influence as far north as Luzon and Sulu, and south and west of Borneo.Except for the Europeans, other foreigners who have had dealings with Sabah or Borneo left no written records of their activities in the region. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">The indigenous peoples of Borneo have no written records except oral history and traditions.The Chinese appeared to have had trade and diplomatic ties with Borneo as early as 600 A.D. The Brunei Annals recorded the existence of a Chinese province in the Kinabatangan area. Archaeological evidence from ceramics unearthed in Borneo revealed that for centuries the Chinese had barter-traded their ceramic wares for spices.</span></div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="text-align: justify;"><tbody>

He chose Balembangan island, about twenty miles to the north of Kudat town. In 1763, Dalrymple hoisted the British flag on Balembangan and renamed the island 'Felicia'. Another of ficer, John Herbert was sent to build a settlement in Balembangan. The settlement was doomed to failure from the start. Maladministration and piracy brought the trading post to a fiery end in 1775. An attempt was made to revive it in 1803, this time by the Governor-General of India, Lord Arthur Wellesley through his appointed officer, Robert J. Farquhar, Resident at Amboina. This time the attempt was to tum Balembangan into a military station. Again, it was a failure and it was finally abandoned in November 1805.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">British attention was then increasingly fumed towards other regions of the Malay Archipelago.</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong><span style="color: maroon; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';"><br />

</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">British interest in North Borneo was revived 40 years later in Labuan, an island situated north west of Borneo. In 1844, James Brooke approached the Sultan of Brunei regarding the cession of Labuan island to be used by the British as a coaling base, to act against piracy and to increase trade.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">On 18 December 1846, a treaty was signed in which the Sultan ceded in perpetuity Labuan and its islets to the British Crown. Brooke became the first Govemor of Labuan and her Majesty's Consul-General in Borneo. The Deputy Governor was William Napier, Hugh Low the Colonial Secretary and Spencer St. John, Brooke's private secretary. Labuan did not live up to expectations as a mini-Singapore or Penang as the founders had hoped. An enervating climate, a malaria prone region and lack of basic amenities were not conducive for growth. Its chequered history can be seen in its administration which changed hands several times. In 1890, Labuan came to be administered by the British North Borneo Chartered Company, in 1907 it was placed under the government of the Straits Settlements. After the War, Labuan became part of the colony of North Borneo and most recently, Labuan became part of the Federal Territory of Malaysia on 16 April 1984.</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong><span style="color: maroon; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';"><br />

</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">After the disappointment with Labuan, British interest in North Borneo waned until 1881, when a commercial enterprise, the British North Borneo Chartered Company (BNBCC), began administering the country. Their presence was however preceded briefly by American influence and interest.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">In 1865, the American Consul of Brunei, Claude Lee Moses obtained a 10-year lease from the Sultan of Brunei on North Borneo. He then sold it to the American Trading Company owned by J.W. Torrey, T.B. Harris and some Chinese merchants. Torrey chose Kimanis, an area south west of North Borneo as his base, and began a settlement there, naming it 'Ellena'. Attempts to find financal backing for the settlement were futile and the settlement was thus abandoned.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">With the imminent termination of the territorial lease at hand, Torrey managed to sell his rights to the Austrian Consul in Hong Kong, Baron Von Overbeck. Overbeck managed to get 10-year renewal of the lease from the Tumonggong (Temenggong) of Brunei. To finance his plan for North Borneo, Overbeck found financial backers in the Dent brothers (Alfred and Edward). Later he, together with Count Montgelas of the Austro-Hungarian Embassy in London and A.B. Mitford, a politician transferred their rights to Alfred Dent.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">In 1881, Dent fommed the British North Borneo Provisional Association Ltd. On the 1 November, the British Crown officially granted a Royal Charter to the Association. In 1882, the British North Borneo Chartered Company was fommed. It took over all the rights of the Provisional Association. Sir Rutherford Alcock became the first President and Alfred Dent the Managing Director.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">In 1888, North Borneo became a British protectorate, that is, British would defend it if it were attacked, making North Borneo a British sphere of influence.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">The Company's rule in North Borneo had the greatest impact on the development of the region. A system of indirect rule was established in the administration of North Borneo. The rule was generally peaceful except for small pockets of resistance, the most serious being the Mat Salleh War from 1894-1900 and the Rundum resistance by the Muruts in 1915.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">The BNBCC effectively ruled up to 1942, after more than 60 years in Sabah, when the Second World War rudely interrupted on peaceful North Borneo. Japanese forces landed in Labuan on 1 January and occupied Sabah until she was liberated by the Ninth Division Australian Imperial Forces (A.I.F) in 1945. After the Second World War, North Borneo was administered by the British Military Administration until civil govemment was restored on July 15, 1946.</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong><span style="color: maroon; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';"><br />

</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">In 1946, Sabah was placed under the British Crown as the BNBCC could not afford to rebuild Sabah, after the devastation of the War. The destruction of the capital Sandakan by allied bombing was so complete that Jesselton was chosen as the altemative post-war capital - it has remained so to this day. The colonial system of administration after the War was not dissimilar to the Chartered Company era. The rule was generally peaceful. Reconstruction and development of the country were the main focus of the administrators.</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong><span style="color: maroon; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';"><br />

The winds of change - the tide of independence being experienced by other countries had arrived in Sabah. It began with an announcement in 1961 by the Prime Minister of Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman, regarding the formation of the Federation of Malaysia which were to include Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Singapore. Malaysia was formally established, without Brunei, on 16 September 1963 and North Borneo's name was changed to Sabah. Preceding this, North Borneo obtained self-govemment from the British on 31 August 1963. However by 1965, Singapore was out of the Federation.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">As a state within a Federation many changes occurred, administratively, politically, socially, etc. The pace of development was hastened and Sabah entered a new and challenging era when she became part of the Federation of Malaysia.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'MS Sans Serif';">Source :<em> Sabah's Heritage:A Brief Introduction to Sabah's History & History</em>, Sabah Museum, Kota Kinabalu, 1992.</span></div></td> </tr>
