LAW OF SUCCESSION OF THE
ROYAL HOUSE OF SULU AND SABAH


This material presented is the basis of legitimacy of His Majesty Sultan Fuad A. Kiram I as the true Sultan of Sulu and Sabah. His basis as Sultan is by blood and primogeniture.

The matter of Royal Succession to be true Sultan or King is based on one Law – namely the Ancient Global Law of Royalty or Law of Succession that is founded on Primogeniture. It started as a law in 5000 BC in Sumeria, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, China, Greece, Rome, etc.

Primogeniture: The ancient and medieval custom of allowing the first born legitimate son down to the youngest son to inherit all of his father's properties, estates, wealth, and titles upon the father's death. This law still exists in our modern age.

Primogeniture was and is the key issue in determining succession to the royal throne.

That is why, in royal sultanates and kingdoms globally (in Sulu and Sabah, Bahrain, Brunei, Jogjakarta Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Morocco, Muscat & Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) or emirates and principalities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah including the kingdoms of Cambodia and Thailand or Empire of Japan and in European kingdoms -- the Law of Succession was and is always the same, FATHER to FIRST BORN SON and the next son down the line.

No person, family, group, institution or government can change this Law. This is non-negotiable! In fact, the High Court of San Marino stated in its judgment on Royalty: ”No act of any government, whether republican or not, including its court of laws can pass any act, law, edict or pass judgment on functions of Royalty, even when some governments assumed their lands or territories in many places today, Royalty and functions of Royalty still exist because Royalty was ahead of any of our governments in the world today, thus Royalty, its laws and its functions or customs could not be extinguished.” Royalty was and is based on primogeniture – Father to Son. And if Father had no Son, then next Brother. If the son is excluded as in the Royal House of Sulu by any “Haram” act that eliminates him from the succession or if he abdicates the next brother or uncle is eligible to ascend the throne who is also a son of the Sultan or King. This is clear and this is the Law. No one can create a Sultan or King without the basis of primogeniture.

Any man claiming to be Sultan but not son of the Sultan is an impostor, bogus and fake. Once and for all, we are here to bring to light who His Majesty Sultan Fuad A. Kiram the First is and why he is the Sultan of Sulu & Sabah. His Majesty Sultan Fuad A. Kiram I also called HM Sultan Fuad the First is The Sultan of Sulu & The Sultan of Sabah.

He became Sultan based on the ancient global law of royalty and the law of succession – by blood and by primogeniture, being SON of the SULTAN!

He is not the First-Born Son but he is the "LAST SURVIVING SON" of the late HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram (The Sultan of Sulu & Sabah 1947-1973) and the "last surviving Royal Datu and brother" of the deceased HM Sultan Mahakuttah A. Kiram (The Sultan of Sulu & Sabah 1974-1986).

Therefore, he is in the direct line of the Royal Kiram bloodline and succession. With this fact alone, his lawful position as Sultan is proved and explained. As the last surviving Royal Datu or Prince Royal being the last son of the Sultan he possesses the rights as “Heir” to inherit the crown of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu & Sabah.

Again, to be the Sultan of Sulu and Sabah is not by appointment of a group or groups, not by vote, not by proclamation, self-claim or personal assertion. They do not matter at all, not one iota. What matters is primogeniture.

To be the Sultan of Sulu and Sabah is mainly BY BLOOD through primogeniture as the foundation of the ancient law of royalty and law of succession of father to son practised in the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and other European and Islamic kingdoms, sultanates, principalities and emirates for centuries. By primogeniture, HM Sultan Fuad A. Kiram I is the Sultan of Sulu and Sabah by the grace of Allah, God Almighty, being the last son of the Sultan and for all the reasons stated above. God Defend the Right.
