This particular book is a collaboration focused on History of Sabah.More info: The history of Sabah can be traced back to about 20,000-30,000 years ago when evidence suggests the earliest human settlement in the region existed. The history is interwoven with the history of Brunei and the history of Malaysia, to which Sabah was previously part of and is currently part of respectively. The earliest recorded history of Sabah being part of any organised civilisation began in the early 16th century during the thriving era of the Sultanate of Brunei. Prior to this, early inhabitants of the land lived in predominantly tribal societies, although such tribal societies have continued to exist until the 20th century. Sabah became a protectorate of the United Kingdom in 1888 and subsequently became a crown colony until 1963, during which time Sabah was widely known as North Borneo. On September 16, 1963, Sabah merged with Malaya, Sarawak and Singapore (left in 1965) to form the Federation of Malaysia.
