Abstract

Penulis tempatan dan Eropah mempunyai catatan berkenaan perkembangan politik dan ekonomi masyarakat peribumi di Borneo Utara. Kesultanan Brunei memerintah pantai barat Borneo Utara dibantu oleh golongan pembesar Brunei yang dikenali sebagai wazir. Penulis Eropah juga menjelaskan bagaimana pembesar Brunei membantu kesultanan mengendalikan sistem pentadbiran di Borneo Utara. Mereka ini berperanan dalam memastikan urusan orang asli Borneo Utara. Namun, setelah SBUB menjajah Borneo Utara pada tahun 1881, pentadbiran kolonial mengubah corak pemerintahan menjadi eksploitasi ekonomi komersial.
Justeru, SBUB mengambil alih jajahan Kesultanan Brunei sehingga mencetuskan pemberontakan dalam kalangan masyarakat peribumi. Objektif penulisan makalah ini adalah untuk membincangkan perkembangan politik dan ekonomi serta reaksi masyarakat peribumi di pantai barat Borneo Utara semasa pemerintahan Kesultanan Brunei hingga pemerintahan Syarikat Borneo Utara Inggeris dari perspektif Eropah dan sejarawan tempatan. Makalah ini menggunakan sumber primer dan sekunder.


Local and European writers have notes on the political and economic development of indigenous peoples in North Borneo. The Sultanate of Brunei ruled the west coast of North Borneo assisted by a group of Brunei dignitaries known as Wazir. European writers also explain how Brunei dignitaries helped the sultanate in operating the administrative system in North Borneo. They play a role in ensuring the affairs of the natives of North Borneo. However, after SBUB colonized North Borneo in 1881, the colonial administration changed the pattern of government into a commercial economic exploitation. Thus, SBUB took over
the colony of the Sultanate of Brunei until it sparked an uprising among the natives. The objective of this paper is to discuss the political and economic developments as well as the reactions of indigenous peoples on the west coast of North Borneo during the reign of the Sultanate of Brunei to the rule of the British North Borneo Company from the perspective of European and local historians. This paper uses primary and secondary sources.
