    The document makes the argument that Malaysia has legitimate claims to Sabah under international law. It outlines that Sabah was originally part of the Sultanate of Sulu but through a lease agreement in 1878, it came under the control of British North Borneo Company. In 1963, Sabah joined the formation of Malaysia along with the consent of the local rulers and people. Therefore, Malaysia has sovereignty over Sabah based on the principles of territorial sovereignty and the right to self-determination of Sabah's people.
