At the time of independence in 1963 the Muslim population of Sabah was at 37%. Recent official statistics by the government of Malaysia puts Sabah's Muslim population at 63.7% .
In the early 1970s during the outbreak of the Moro rebellion in the southern Phillippines, thousands of Muslim refugees came to Sabah and settled in refugee camps. Many of them later acquired Malaysian citizenships illegally. In the early 1980s, when Datuk Harris Salleh was the Chief Minister of Sabah, tens of thousands Indonesians and Filipinos (most of them Muslims) acquired Malaysian citizenship illegally as detailed in the books by Joshua Kong (EPIC of Sabah) and M.D Mutalib (IC Palsu & Lelaki Malaysia Terakhir).
Apart from this we must also not forget the large number of West Malaysian civil servants who work and live in Sabah, most of whom are Muslims. Population surveys usually includes the legalized illegals, the illegals and West Malaysians as well.
No wonder then, the Muslim percentage in Sabah is so high. One would not really care if the number of Muslims increase in Sabah from among real Sabahans. But too have so many illegal citizens and West Malaysians in the state, and then claiming Sabah to be a Muslim-majority state is very unfair.
In fact, it is believed the actual percentage of Muslims in Sabah are around 40-45%. The foreigners who acquired citizenships through illegal means must be stripped of their citizenships and Borneonisation of the civil services must be implemented.
Only then can we see the actual growth of Muslim population in Sabah. To call Sabah a Muslim state while at the same time being proud of people who have no business being in Sabah is not something to be proud of.
What if the Indonesian Muslims bring along their extremist outfits like Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and Laskar Jihad here? What if the Filipinos bring along their Abu Sayyaf here? When these groups start fighting against the government of Malaysia, it would be too late for us to do anything.

Those people who had created this scenario does not care whether they are going to give terrible headache for the locals because of Selfish Hideous Illegal Traps SHIT by design.
It is possible when 'arrivals' from Philippines and Indonesians fight between them for control of Sabah, where would the locals be in the conflict?
Too late to reverse the terrorising scenario including ethnic cleansing and apartheid when Muslims not identified by race gang together as new majority group against the local minority which was once majority.
The trojan horses have been too many here as designed by illegal leaders of Malaysia and others may be clapping their hands to see Sabah as destroyed by GREAT GRIEF after GREED.

Very true the population figures are adulterated....now we should also trace the amount of public funds being used to pay West Malaysian govt servants serving in Sabah. I believe the amount is exorbitant and unnecessary spending besides robbing Sabahans employment opportunity. Hey...we can understand if these are senior officers that Sabah "cant produce yet", but what about "office boys" and "drivers"?Dont tell me no Sabahans are not qualified?
Thank you Evelyn Gobili, the North Borneo Herald will soon carry an article about the expenses incurred to pay West Malaysian civil servants as oppossed to employing qualified Sabahans.
perhatian...islam merupakan majoriti agama terbesar di asia tenggara iaitu berjumlah 250 juta jika di gabungkan sekali malaysia, indonesia dan filipina...islam tetap akan menjadi agama majoriti.....
you call abu sayyaf the group extremist but you forgot on how christian manila government cruelty in treating southern philiphine muslim citizen. Extreme only is your west perception anybody including muslim will act if threaten like animal...!!!
i guess ur idiot, the figure of sabahan muslim and christian are on par with each other during 1963, thus we do not decide on official religion of the state.
you can say..
38% muslim
35% christian
there rest are pagan animistic
till now if u remove the non-malaysian the number is also consistent
but wait, u forgot? tun mustapha is islamized most of sabahan, and thus we become 65-35. go learn history, takes the true.
u thinking giving thousand of ic can change the demographic? that would atleast need aroung 100k no 10k.
there are 30 % muslim and 15% christian in 1969 in sabah.. now there is 60% muslim and 30% christian.
i said most converts are local bumis that are previously pagan, eg dusun ranau which consisted half of them are muslim.
it is a biased that most muslim population are engineered by umno, there is no umno in sabah. tun mustapha and datuk harris through USIA was able to bring more pagan into muslim, and that is fact.
only recently the ic project or watever u called being used for political gained. but statistic dont lies.
the propotion of muslim and christian in the state are proportionally. u ppl are biased thiniking we would only relied on given ic.
most muslim are not well recorded in 1969, we are seafarer tribe it is common for us to be missed from the survey.
and dont be idiot saying the country is ur, u ppl are mostly living in jungle, most muslim are from shore eg kk, sandakan, tawau, lahad datu,
sandakan and lahad datu is suluk city, they got their own right, we still pay them attribute every year. what make u think they dont deserve to be pure sabahan? only interior ppl is sabahan?
ko igt sabah ni kamu pun saja ka. kami pun ada hak pi gi la.
