Lying about Sabah's Independence

1. In the document tittled in Malay: Dokumen Pemasyoran Malaysia, signed by the Prime Minister of Malaysia on the 16th September, 1963 it was stated that:

".. as from the establishment of Malaysia the States of Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore shall cease to be colonies of Her Majesty the Queen ..."


"mulai daripad penubuhan Malaysia maka Negeri Sabah, Negeri Sarawak dan Negeri Singapura hendak-lah tamat daripada menjadi jajahan taalok Duli Yang Maha Mulia Baginda Queen"


(source: picture of document published in Sabah History in pictures(1881-1981) by Johan M. Padahan.)

2. Pictures of the last governor of North Borneo: Sir William Goode saluting the for the last time at midnight 15 September 1963.
