History
In February 2013, 200 gunmen claiming to be part of the Sultanate of Sulu landed in Lahad Datu causing a standoff. 9 Malaysian soldiers were killed while the gunmen were either hunted down or surrendered to Malaysian forces. This incident caused a degree of tension with the neighboring country of the Philippines - which has a claim on Sabah.

The country would suffer three aviation incidents in 2014. First was on March 8 when Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared en route to Beijing, resulting in the largest search for a missing airline in history. Four months later, on July 17, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down over a conflict area in Ukraine; killing all onboard. The last one would occur on the final days of December 2014 when Air Asia crashed into the Sea of Java.

U.S. President Barrack Obama visited Malaysia on April 2014 as part of his Asian Tour and met with Prime Minister Najib Razak. In this state visit, Obama assured that the United States and Malaysia will cooperate in terms of economy, peace, and stability of the region.
