Fiscal Federalism and State Financial Autonomy
This study analyses the influence of fiscal federalism on Sabah’s financial autonomy within Malaysia’s federal framework, using dependency theory as a perspective. The study examines how Malaysia’s centralised fiscal structure establishes a core-periphery dynamic that diminishes Sabah’s financial autonomy and developmental prospects. Despite constitutional guarantees under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), Sabah struggles to generate revenue an…
From irregular migration to illicit networks
Territorialization of maritime spaces and human insecurity
Unsung Heroes in Sabah’s Historiography
The Petagas War Memorial, erected in 1946, is the official symbol of Sabah’s anti-Japanese resistance between 1942 to 1945. The memorial focuses on the predominantly Chinese Kinabalu Guerrilla Defence Force (KGDF), which managed to secure vital assistance and cooperation from Sabah’s peribumi (indigenous) community. However, it does not adequately capture their contributions despite becoming the backbone of KGDF. Without them, the anti-Japanese m…

In this article, as part of our long-term research project in oil palm production in Sabah (Malaysia), we attemp…
