Causes of the rebellion
North Borneo during the late 1800s was under the administration of British North Borneo Company. The Company was trying to transform North Borneo into a producer of various agricultural products, especially tobacco. As the Company introduced new cash crops, North Borneo underwent inevitable economic and social changes. Events and Trends Beginning of the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815). ...
The British North Borneo Company was assigned to administer North Borneo (todays Sabah in Malaysia) in August 1881 and North Borneo became a protectorate of the British Empire with internal affairs administered by the company until 1946 when it became the colony of British North Borneo. ...
The Company tried hard to preserve local cultures but certain local practices had to be regulated to ensure the Company's control. For instance, slavery was abolished. More disrupting changes brought upon by the Company was introduction of taxes and the need firearms and boat licenses. Many locals disagreed with the new rulings.
Mat Salleh and the rebellion One of the more influential dissenting local chiefs was Mat Salleh. He was born in Inanam, Sabah and was a governor at Sugut River. A member of Bajau and Suluk tribe, he married a Sulu princess. His father was previously the leader of Inanam. The Bajau are an indigenous ethnic group residing in Sabah, eastern Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia. ...

In 1895, Mat Salleh made a complaint to the Company regarding new rules imposed on Sugut River but the Company ignored him. At the same time, the Company was unhappy with the fact that Mat Salleh was collecting taxes from the local populace. Soon after the complaint, the Company burnt down his village. In 1897, he retaliated by razing the Company's harbor at Pulau Gaya. Immediately after the razing, he ordered a fort to be constructed in Ranau. Ranau is a town located in West Coast Division, in the center of Sabah, east Malaysia on the island of Borneo. ...
The Company tried to capture the fort but they were met with heavy resistance and failed. That failure prompted the Company to burn the fort. The confrontation ended with Mat Salleh's forces retreating into North Borneo hitherland. There were also skirmishes near Gaya island, Inanam and Menggatal. Inanam is a town in Sabah, Malaysia. ...
Menggatal is a [[Malaysia|Malaysian}} town and district on the west coast of Sabah, on the outskirts of the capital, Kota Kinabalu. ...
Later, the Company offered Mat Salleh peace. Mat Salleh agreed. Unfortunately for him, the truce with the British so outraged his own people that he was forced to flee to Tambunan. The British later would let Mat Salleh control Tambunan. He built a new fort at there; the fort still stands today. Tambunan is a town located in Interior Division of Sabah, east Malaysia on the island of Borneo. ...
Despite the peace treaty, the Company decided to take over Tambunan from Mat Salleh in 1899. Mat Salleh refused and thus, hostility was renewed. On January 31, 1900, he was shot dead in Kampung Teboh, Tambunan. His death left the rebellion movement leaderless and effectively ended it. 1899 (MDCCCXCIX) was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ...
January 31 is the 31st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...
