Tun Mustapha: His Role and Contributions to the Development in Sabah, Malaysia TAWARIKH: International Journal for Historical Studies, 3(2) 2012 Tun Mustapha: His Role and Contributions to the Development in Sabah, Malaysia Mat Zin Mat Kib ABSTRACT: Tun Mustapha is a renowned ϔigure in the history of Sabah, Malaysia. Having held the posts of Head of State or the TYT (Tuan Yang Terutama), Chief Minister, Minister at the Federal level, and a political leader involved in social, economic, and political developments, his role and contributions are of great signiϔicance. This paper discusses his role and contributions to the development of Sabah. Hailing from a poor family background and with little formal education, his rise to the much respected status as the “Father of Independence for Sabah” is a success story in its own right. This study has also been based on the write ups on his speeches in local newspapers of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as those found in annual reports. Nevertheless, Tun Mustapha realized the complexity and difϔiculty of the endeavor. Besides promoting Islam, as the Father of Sabah Independence, he struggled to unite its people who hailed from numerous ethnic backgrounds and religions for the sake of enjoying the fruit of his labor for an independent Sabah. He wanted his people to have freedom, peace, harmony, and happiness. KEY WORDS: Tun Mustapha, development, education, politics, economy, USNO, USIA, and Sabahan society. INTRODUCTION Sabah gained independence through Malaysia in 1963. After 49 years in the Federation of Malaysia (1963-2012), Sabah has experienced its own colorful share of the political and administrative antics. It has experienced many notable changes. Political awareness in this state came much later than its counterparts in the Peninsula. The signiicant beginning was when Tun Haji Mohd Fuad Stephens formed the United Kadazan Party (UKP) in August 1961 (Malakun, 1981:140; Ongkili, 1989:62; Luping, 1994:107; and Agus Yusoff, 2006:211) Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mat Zin Mat Kib is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies UiTM (MARA University of Technology) Branch of Sabah, Locked Beg 71, 88997 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. He can be reached at: [email protected] 195 MAT ZIN MAT KIB, Tun Mustapha followed by the formation of the United Sabah National Organization (USNO) or Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Sabah Bersatu in December 1962 under the leadership of Tun Datu Hj. Mustapha Datu Harun (Malakun, 1981:142; and Luping, 1994:121) and the rest of the twenty one political parties. As a result, Sabah emerged as the state which had the most number of political parties in the Malaysian political system. The reason for this large number is due the numerous ethnic groups in Sabah (Mat Kib, 2003b:497). At one time, there were 72 ethnic groups in Sabah represented by ethnic-based political parties but this number has now to 41 (Mat Kib, 2003a:24).1 Sabah was also the only state in Malaysia which had been forced to practice the system of appointing a new Chief Minister every two years since 1994, when UMNO-BN (United Malays National Organization – Barisan Nasional or National Front) took over Sabah. This system was later abolished in 2004. Where the ruling party is concerned, Sabah is the only state which has experienced frequent change of government: The United Kadazan Party (UKP), 1963-1964; Sabah Chinese Association (SCA), 1964-1967; the United Sabah National Organization (USNO), 1967- 1976; the United People’s Party of Sabah or Parti Bersatu Rakyat Jelata Sabah (BERJAYA), 1976-1985; United Sabah Party or Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), 1985-1994; and the National Front or Barisan Nasional (BN), 1994- present. With regard to administration, Sabah has been helmed by nine Heads of State, Tuan Yang Terutama Yang Di-Pertuan Negeri Sabah: (1) Tun Datu Haji Mustapha Datu Harun, 1963-1965; (2) Tun Datuk Pengiran Haji Ahmad Raffae bin OKK Pengiran Haji Omar, 1965-1973; (3) Tun Haji Mohd Fuad Stephens, 1973-1975; (4) Tun Datuk Mohammad Hamdan Abdullah, 1975- 1977; (5) Tun Datuk Haji Ahmad Koroh, 1977-1978; (6) Tun Datuk Haji Mohammad Adnan Robert, 1978-1987; (7) Tun Datuk Haji Mohammad Said bin Keruak, 1987-1995; (8) Tun Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Sakaran bin Dandai, 1995-2002; (9) Tun Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Ahmadshah bin Abdullah (2002-2010); and Tun Datuk Seri Panglima Juhar Mahiruddin (2010-present). Sabah has also been helmed by 13 Chief Ministers: Tun Haji Mohd Fuad Stephens (August 1963 to December 1964 and April 1976 to June 1976); Datuk Peter Lo Su Yin (January 1965 to April 1967); Tun Datu Haji 1The author is grateful to Mr. Sabki Hj.

Dompok (May 1998 to March 1999); Datuk Osu Sukam (March 1999 to March 2001); Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat (March 2001 to March 2003); and Datuk Seri Musa Aman (March 2003 to present). In the context of the administration of Sabah, Tun Datu Haji Mustapha Datu Harun (henceforth referred to as Tun Mustapha) was a great leader. He was once the Head of State (Tuan Yang Terutama), the Chief Minister, a Federal Minister, and the leader of a political party. He was instrumental in the endeavor to achieve independence for Sabah through Malaysia. These contributions and the direct role that he played in the ight for independence earned Tun Mustapha the title “Father of the Independence of Sabah”. Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj, the irst Malaysian Prime Minister, was quoted as saying, “Tun Mustapha is an architect who has planned all the right moves to enable Sabah to join Malaysia” (Latif, 1981:vii). While Tun Haji Abdul Razak bin Datuk Hussein, the second Prime Minister, stated as follows: The State of Sabah is indeed fortunate to have a leader who is a true nationalist, honest, and dynamic in Tun Datu Haji Mustapha. He has sacriiced tremendously in the form of energy, ideas, and wealth for the sake of USNO [United Sabah National Organization] and Alliance Party. He has contributed immensely to the people, religion, and nation. His contributions are invaluable. Tun Datu Haji Mustapha is an incomparable nationalist and political leader who is strict, brave, honest, and loyal (cited by Hussin, 2003). HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF TUN MUSTAPHA Tun Mustapha was born on 31st June 1918 in the village of Limau- Limauan, Kudat, which was the irst centre of British administration in Sabah. He was the eldest of nine siblings of Datu Harun Datu Nasaruddin and Norani Hj. Abdul Rahim who were both of the Bajau-Suluk ethnicity. Tun Mustapha had another ive siblings from his father’s second marriage to Hajah Janzarah. His birth name was Datu Badiozaman. “Badiozaman” was the name of his ancestor, Sultan Badiozaman, the islands of Sulu and Mindanao. This clearly indicates that Tun Mustapha hailed from a family 197 MAT ZIN MAT KIB, Tun Mustapha of nobility from southern Philippines, where the designation “datu” was given to whoever became the Sulu Sultan. Datu Badaruddin, who was an ancestor from his father’s side, was the youngest brother of the Sultan of Sulu and Mindanao, the seventh son of Sultan Hisyamuddin who was the son of Badiozaman, the previous Sultan of Sulu (Hussin, 2003:13). Prone to ill health as a young boy, the elders, deeming his birth name as not auspicious/suitable, changed the name Datu Badiozaman to Datu Mustapha (JPPP, 2003:9; Aziz, 2005:61; and Osman, Ali & Basrah Bee, 2006:4). His father and both of his grandparents (Datu Nasaruddin and Hj. Abdul Rahim) were well acquainted with the British administrators as they had held the position of Native Chiefs during the administration of the Chartered Company of North Borneo (The British North Borneo Herald, 1886:215). Tun Mustapha received a formal education in 1932 from St. James’ School, a mission school in Kudat. A devout Muslim, Tun Mustapha had gone on pilgrimage to Mecca a few times. He had also helped the needy of Sabah out of his own pocket. He really wanted to see the uniication of the people of Sabah, not just in politics but in the social and cultural contexts. He believed that Islam was a strong unifying factor. Therefore, he was persistent in his call for the people of Sabah to embrace Islam. However, it is to be noted here that he had never once used force to this end. Tun Mustapha married Toh Puan Hajah Rahmah Zulkarnain (departed in 1991) and Toh Puan Meriam, who was his second wife. They had ten children. Tun Mustapha passed away on the 2nd of January 1995 at the Sabah Medical Centre, Kota Kinabalu. During this time Sabah was known as North Borneo and was ruled by the Chartered Company of North Borneo (SBBU, Syarikat British Borneo Utara) which was a British trade. In 1928, barely 10 years old, Tun Mustapha worked as an errand boy for Mr. E.W. Morrell, the Resident of Kudat. In 1932, he enrolled in St. James’ School in Kudat, but nine months later, following the death of his mother, quit school as his father who was also an employee of SBBU was transferred to another place.

  • English After School Hours (HL) (NST 24/10/2002)
    24/10/2002 English after school hours (HL) Joniston Bangkuai; Chow Kum Hor KUALA LUMPUR, Wed. - MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik claimed today that Chinese-based parties in the Barisan Nasional were proposing that national-type Chinese schools be exempted from the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English during normal school hours. Dr Ling said the Chinese-based parties in BN would propose that Science and Mathematics be taught in English outside normal schooling hours for national-type Chinese primary schools. However, he said the use of Mandarin to teach the subjects during the normal timetable should be retained. Dr Ling said the proposal was brought up during yesterday's BN supreme council meeting and the Chinese-based parties had asked for one week to fine-tune the proposal. Dr Ling's statement coincided with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad saying that reforming Malaysia's education system and taking steps to preserve the country's fragile multi-racial peace were his top priorities before stepping down next October. Dr Mahathir, speaking to foreign journalists at his Putrajaya office yesterday as reported by the Singapore Straits Times, said one of his pressing concerns was education reform, namely pushing through his proposal to introduce English as a medium of instruction for Mathematics and Science in primary schools from January. Although the proposal had drawn fire from some groups within the ruling coalition, he was undeterred and asserted that like the rest of the world, Malaysia would have "to go with the times" and promote the use of English.

  • The Kimanis By-Election: a Much-Needed Sweet (Manis) Victory for Warisan
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 3 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore |16 January 2020 The Kimanis By-election: A Much-needed Sweet (Manis) Victory for Warisan Lee Poh Onn and Kevin Zhang*1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 18 January 2020, a by-election will be held for the parliamentary seat of Kimanis in Sabah. The Federal Court has upheld the Election Court's ruling that Anifah Aman's victory in the 14th General Elections (GE14) was nullified by election discrepancies. • This by-election is seen as a referendum on the Warisan state government’s performance over the past 18 months since replacing the Barisan Nasional (BN) after GE14, and the outcome would have some impact on Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal’s standing. Warisan-PH and BN had won an equal number of state seats, but Warisan formed the state government only after the defection of some BN state assemblymen. At the Federal level, the Pakatan Harapan government sorely needs a victory in Kimanis to reverse the trend of by-election defeats it has suffered over the past year. • Warisan began the election contest on a stronger footing but it is shaping up to be a close fight. Both candidates, Warisan’s Karim Bujang and UMNO’s Mohamad Alamin, have strong political experience in Kimanis. • Bread and butter issues matter greatly to Kimanis residents who mostly suffer from low incomes and poor infrastructure. Warisan is on the defensive against the BN’s claims that the state government has failed to bring economic uplift to the area.

  • Seeking the State from the Margins: from Tidung Lands to Borderlands in Borneo
    Seeking the state from the margins From Tidung Lands to borderlands in Borneo Nathan Bond ORCID ID: 0000-0002-8094-9173 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. December 2020 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne i Abstract Scholarship on the geographic margins of the state has long suggested that life in such spaces threatens national state-building by transgressing state order. Recently, however, scholars have begun to nuance this view by exploring how marginal peoples often embrace the nation and the state. In this thesis, I bridge these two approaches by exploring how borderland peoples, as exemplars of marginal peoples, seek the state from the margins. I explore this issue by presenting the first extended ethnography of the cross-border ethnic Tidung and neighbouring peoples in the Tidung Lands of northeast Borneo, complementing long-term fieldwork with research in Dutch and British archives. This region, lying at the interstices of Indonesian Kalimantan, Malaysian Sabah and the Southern Philippines, is an ideal site from which to study borderland dynamics and how people have come to seek the state. I analyse understandings of the state, and practical consequences of those understandings in the lives and thought of people in the Tidung Lands. I argue that people who imagine themselves as occupying a marginal place in the national order of things often seek to deepen, rather than resist, relations with the nation-states to which they are marginal. The core contribution of the thesis consists in drawing empirical and theoretical attention to the under-researched issue of seeking the state and thereby encouraging further inquiry into this issue.

  • Late Tun Fuad Receives National Eminent Journalist Award
    26 OCT 1998 Award-Journalist LATE TUN FUAD RECEIVES NATIONAL EMINENT JOURNALIST AWARD KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- Former Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri the late Tun Mohammed Fuad Stephens was posthumously awarded the prestigious Malaysian Press Institute's National Eminent Journalist Award today. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad presented the award to his widow, Toh Puan Rahimah Stephens at the Commonwealth Press Union Biennial Conference opening ceremony here. Born on Sept 14, 1920, Mohammed Fuad became Sabah's first Chief Minister after independence through Malaysia in 1963. His involvement in journalism began when he started contributing to the only newspaper in his home state,the North Borneo News, with the favourite pseudonym of Vox Populi. After a stirring letter that came to be known as the "Blood is Thicker than Water," in which he berated the colonial masters for their indiscrimination against local civil servants, he was invited to write articles for the paper. Mohammed Fuad then set up his own daily newspaper, the Sabah Times with only RM1,000 as his capital after drawing experience from the North Borneo News. The inaugaural edition of the first daily newspaper in North Borneo hit the news stand in March 1952 with him as the editor, typist, reporter, typesetter and delivery boy. Two years later he bought over the North Borneo News and proceeded to combine it with the Sabah Times. He was one of the signatories of the Federation of Malaysia Agreement. Tun Fuad was killed in a plane crash in Tanjung Aru near Kota Kinabalu in 1976. -- BERNAMA NHZ RAZ AAM.
