Yong: Sabah never part of Sulu Sultanate, Tommy Thomas must retract claim in book

KOTA KINABALU: Former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas must retract his statement in his book "My Story; Justice in the Wilderness" that "at some point in its history, North Borneo was part of the Sulu Sultanate", says Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee.

The former Sabah chief minister said Thomas had no idea of Sabah's history and made statements that were being used by the self-proclaimed heirs to the defunct Sulu Sultanate.
