With reference to the article "Parti Rakyat Borneo Anyone?" which appeared on thebrokenshield.blogspot.com The North Borneo Herald would like to add that in 2006 a group of people met in a restaurant in Jalan Pantai, Kota Kinabalu to discuss the formation of the Borneo National Party.
The most senior leader in the group was Mathurin Daim, a former United National Kadazan Organization (UNKO) strongman from Papar. Mathurin Daim also served under various governments.
Among the things discussed were the alternating of the president's post between a Sabahan and Sarawakian every five years, the restoration of the original constitution of 1963, the need to place indigenous unity above personal concerns and a need to find a strong and consistent source of funding.
Unfortunately plans for the proposed party came to a halt when Parti Keadilan Rakyat made the Tambunan Declaration and the health of Daim worsened.
The draft constitution of the party is still available in the hands of Daim's trusted aide (in hard copy only) complete with party flag and all. Unfortunately very few of people still remain committed to the proposed party while one of them is still a member of a Barisan Nasional component party.

Memang sokong ada parti tempatan perjuang untuk menlanjutkan Borneo sebagai Negeri Merdeka (Independent State) yg selaras dgn Tanah Melayu... tapi bukankah pernah ada USNO/UNKO perjuang utk merdeka di 31Ogos1963 dan jadikan Negeri Merdeka di 16Sep1963?? Selepas tu, mengapa Sabah jadikan Negeri dibawah jajahan Tanah Melayu?? Itulah kerana ketua parti pd itu masa ada "agenda" utk kaum sendiri dan musnahkan lain2 kaum asli Sabah...
Harap parti BNP baru tak akan ulangi kesalahan USNO itu.
Bump into an article about some kind of little autonomus states called Microstates and Micronations.
Then checked with wikipedia..

Fancy of creating own nation like the one mentioned in below link? However, there are
many risks for a micronation.

Ever heard of a micronation in South China Sea?...from wikipedia...
