The Island of Labuan was once part of the Sultanate of Brunei since the reign of the first Sultan of Brunei, Muhammad Shah. Labuan Island, previously uninhabited, was used by Malay and Chinese merchants and traders to shelter their ships from storms. Labuan Island was important economically for Brunei as it was regarded as the Sultanate's gateway to the outside world. Labuan was considered as a safe shelter and strategically sited to protect Brunei interest in the region especially the China trade route between Brunei and Manila.〔Tarling, Nicholas Tarling (1990). ''Brunei: Political, Commercial, and Social History''. Volume 2. Brunei Times. p. 84.〕 After the fall of Manila to the Spaniards, trading activities in Labuan increased the Island's revenues as taxes increased, due to the increasing number of traders and merchants who came for water supply and most importantly, coal, which Labuan had vast reserves on the Island.
