	Federal-state relations in Malaysia: Sabah truly Malaysia? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of the main justifications for the continuation of immigration controls for the East Malaysian states is that these extra powers were agreed to as part of the formation of Malaysia and that changing them now would be akin to reneging on the guarantees afforded Sabah and Sarawak at independence.
		Already, many Sabahans feel that their state has been neglected in the development drive pursued by the Federal government; an opening of the borders may result in what little development opportunities there are being captured by individuals and companies close to the powers-that-be in Kuala Lumpur.
		With the Sabah state assembly now dominated by UMNO politicians whose direct political masters lie not in Kota Kinabalu but KL (see AM 2004:3), there is a risk that such federal pressure might indeed be brought to bear.
