evidence: Sabah is a state in Malaysia. It makes up Malaysian Borneo along with the state of Sarawak, and the Labuan Federal Territory. [...] On September 16, 1963, North Borneo together with Malaya, Sarawak and Singapore formed the Federation of Malaysia and from then on it became known as Sabah. This was opposed by Indonesia and the Philippines, both of whom claimed Sabah as their own territory, with President Sukarno of Indonesia launching a policy known as konfrontasi in which the Indonesian government sponsored terrorist attacks in Malaysia. Sukarno was overthrown by Suharto in 1968, who ended konfrontasi and abandoned Indonesia's claims to Sabah, and peace has held ever since. The Philippines still claims Sabah, but is not pursuing its claim. Culture [edit]Sabah is one of the most culturally diverse states in Malaysia. Sabah's population in 2017 is more than 3 million, including immigrants whose numbers are not always recorded. There is a mixture of native groups, Chinese, Indians, Europeans and Asians. The main native groups are today the Kadazandusun, Murut, Bajau, Suluk, Bisaya and Orang Sungai, though there are at least 33 native groups in total, speaking 50 languages and 80 dialects. Most of the Chinese who migrated to the state during the 19th and early 20th centuries under British rule belong to the Hakka dialect group, although there are also large numbers of Cantonese, especially in Sandakan. There are also many Filipino and Indonesian immigrants many of whom entered Sabah illegally and later became naturalised under a controversial state policy.
