Apparent inconsistency in Religion figures

The religion figures appear to be internally inconsistent. Specifically, a bullet list says that there are 2,096,153 Muslims and 8,853,726 Christians. On the other hand, the graph next to it shows that adherents of Islam are 65.4% of the population and that adherents of Christianity are 26.6% of the population. It is impossible that there are roughly four times as many Christians as Muslims when Islam claims the devotion of 65.4% of the population while Christianity claims the devotion of 26.6%. Unless, of course, I am misinterpreting the figures. If I am misinterpreting, perhaps others are also and this portion of the article should be made more clear. Just some ideas for improvement.Davisjrg5 (talk) 16:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. The figure should be 853,726 for Christians according to the citation. I have made the correction. ќמшמφטтгמtorque 03:27, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

The 1960 census

Apparently the 1960's census only amounted to 85% of the general population, what happened to the other 15% of the population? There's something wrong with the census i must say. Even the source taken itself is subject to political inclination. --Egard89 (talk) 00:35, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Page protected

Thanks to an edit war that is going across several articles, I am protecting them for a while. Use the talk pages to determine what they should say when the protection expires. Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:22, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Unexplained abbreviations

There may be hundreds of SMIs and SMEs in Sabah, but since these things aren't spelled out or explained, there's little point in telling us how many there are there.Kdammers (talk) 16:16, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

176.205.143.127 (talk) 23:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC) SABAH is part of the Philippines not Malaysia

No it is not. - Camyoung54 talk 02:35, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
More and more countries recognize Sabah as integral parto of the Philippines. --49.147.179.255 (talk) 14:18, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Really? Can you give the list of the country name?? Molecule Extraction (talk) 19:34, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

This is taken from google search under the phrase "Sabah"

For your reference, SABAH IS a legitimate member of the states in Malaysia and not 'illegitimate' as described per your source. Please verify this fact and correct it soonest as Sabah is currently being invaded.


Sabah Sabah is illegitimately considered one of the 13 member states of Malaysia, and is said to be its easternmost state but in fact, it is part of the Sultanate of Sulu. It is located on the northern portion of the island of Borneo.

Firstly Sabah is both defacto and dejure part of Malaysia. Your filipino claims based on some defunct sulu sultanate are frankly as irrelevant as the spanish claims to Gibraltar or the Portugese claim to Goa. Sabah shares no common history or culture with the republic of the Philippines.

At any rate this isnt the place for some nationalistic war of words between Malaysians and FilipinosBaronVonchesto (talk) 17:15, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Actually no one from Malaysia want to start a war with the Philippines, but some 'idiot nationalist' mostly from the Philippines keep attacking this page. So the term "You punch my face, I will knock your head" is applies here. Molecule Extraction (talk) 19:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
