Sabah's Hidden History: The Crown Colony That Almost Wasn't

8 min26 april 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the little-known story of North Borneo after World War II — a period of rubble, uncertainty, and the eventual creation of the Crown Colony of North Borneo in 1946. They dive into the devastation left by the war, the controversial cession of the territory by the British North Borneo Company, the rise of the first local political movements like the United National Kadazan Organisation (UNKO) and the Sabah Alliance, and the figures who shaped the path to Malaysia, including Donald Stephens and Fuad Stephens. The conversation touches on the Cobbold Commission, the 20-point agreement that safeguarded Sabah's interests, and the lingering questions about identity and autonomy that persist today. A fresh angle that avoids retreading the Sulu dispute, the White Rajahs, or the Emergency.
