Nope. Malaysia didn't exist in the 1940s, plain and simple. - Two hundred percent (talk) 04:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then what do you think about

Japanese occupation of Indonesia, Indonesia also didn't exist until 1945 when it declared independence. 71.107.74.39 (talk) 04:47, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply

The formation of Indonesia was the direct result of the occupation, so that's barely a good example. Present day Malaysia and Singapore remained fragmented up until the formation of Malaysia in 1963. - 60.53.43.143 (talk) 12:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains a translation of Pendudukan Jepun di Tanah Melayu, Borneo Utara dan Sarawak from ms.wikipedia.

Not any more -

How about naming the latter Japanese occupation of British North Borneo? As far as I am aware (though I may well be wrong), North Borneo's official name was simply North Borneo, not British North Borneo - BNB was the term used at the time to refer to all the British territories on the island of Borneo (NB, Sarawak, Labuan and Brunei), so would be the appropriate term here. Jasper33 (talk) 11:52, 5 June 2013 (UTC) Or alternatively, Japanese occupation of British Borneo? (Gen Wootten used the term in his 18 Aug 1945 pamphlet dropped to POWs and Internees at Batu Lintang). After all, Dutch Borneo was a recognised term at the time, so why not British Borneo for the rest of the island? Jasper33 (talk) 14:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A split as proposed seems sensible. From memory, the Japanese had different occupation governments in Malaya and Borneo. Nick-D (talk) 12:07, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions about naming. The Japanese referred to the area encompassing Sabah, Brunei, Labuan, and Sarawak as Kita Boruneo. The term

G'day, I made an attempt to clarify the sentence with this edit: [1]. I don't have access to the source, though, so please feel free to revert if I got it wrong. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:46, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
