Sabahans told that Sabah was independent in 1957

Today, on Friday, the 7th of September, 2007, muslim Sabahans attending Friday prayers at mosques around Kota Kinabalu were told that Sabah was independent 50 years ago, i.e. in 1957.

It is sad day when this misinformation is spread by a major Islamic institution in Sabah.

In 1957, Sabah was still a British colony.
