Development on the Malay peninsula and Borneo…

1876 CE to 1887 CE

Development on the Malay peninsula and Borneo had been generally separate until the nineteenth century.

Under British rule the immigration of Chinese and Indians to serve as laborers is encouraged.

The area that is now Sabah comes under British control as North Borneo when both the Sultan of Brunei and the Sultan of Sulu transfer their respective territorial rights of ownership, between 1877 and 1878.
