Sabah's Stateless: Who Are Malaysia's Invisible People? | Insight | Full Episode



They live among the locals. Yet they’re not recognised as citizens of the country. And although they’ve been living in the country all their lives, they don’t exist legally as a people at the place they were born. At the moment, there’re over a million non-Malaysians living in Sabah today. And they include – undocumented, stateless migrants who’ve made Sabah their new home.

Being stateless, many of them have been denied their basic rights that other citizens currently enjoy, including the rights to education, healthcare and employment. Who are these marginalised and unrecognised citizens otherwise known as Malaysia’s invisible people? Is there really a future for them living at a home away from home?

  3. And now malaysia is turning their butt on how they can legally own sabah and defend thierself on the award. It's thier karma. Malaysia should turnover the income of sabah oil and tourism to philippines or at least to sultanate and make sabah independent state province of the philippines like macau of china or guam of usa.

  5. I think its about time to talk about Sabah Right now is the time , Malaysia should respect all the refugees from Mindanao and Sulu to stay n Sabah instead of deporting them back , Thats the problem of land grabbing of every country that take over the land , we t makes wars, and people are the one who suffered mist of all , we have to meet halfway to talk of the problems than say , I well not give an inch that Sabah is aMalaysian State , even though, The sultan of Sulu has the claims, If other countries stubborn enough not to negotiate then the government of the Philippines well srart something to make it happen Good luck to Malaysian government and the Sultanate of Sulu to talk and take care of the problems

  6. God is good for He is just. This stateless people and children should have been taken cared of by Malaysia but they made them as fugitive. Now Sultanate of Sulu is the miracle for them for the Arbitration of France asked Malaysia to pay them $14.92 B as leased to the Sultan.

  8. How sad Malaysian govt. Treated badly this poor people of the Philippines. Maybe Malaysian authorities is not informed that this Sabah belongs to the Sultanate of Sulo or the Philippines.
