Abdul Momin of Brunei

Abdul Momin ibni Abdul Wahab was the 24th Sultan of Brunei from 1852 until his death in 1885. Abdul Momin sought British support as he blocked Charles Brooke's attempts to acquire more Bruneian land in 1868. In 1877, Baron von Overbeck secured Sabah’s concession of land from Abdul Momin for an annual payment. Brooke's manipulative tactics ultimately led to British restrictions on his land acquisitions while Overbeck gained control over northern Borneo.
