Sabah Defends and Upholds Position in Malaysia

Sabah Government and the Federal’s Unity Government stand together in upholding and defending the country's sovereignty and dismissing any demand over territorial claims including Sabah’s.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said – on 5 August 2024 – that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has made Malaysia's stand clear, which is similar to Sabah’s – that Sabah / Malaysia will not recognise any territorial claims including against Sabah. Sabah has always been an integral part of Malaysia and that the United Nations (UN) and the international community have recognised Sabah as part of Malaysia since the formation of the Federation of Malaysia on September 16, 1963.

The Chief Minister said the State Government also fully supported Wisma Putra's action and statement that the viral video on social media, which attempts to dispute the sovereignty of the state of Sabah, contained baseless and misleading contents.
