This article aims to examine the rebellion in the southern Philippines carried out by the Moro Islamic community and the impacts that have shaped bilateral ties between the Philippines and Malaysia between 1970 and 2010. Malaysia was brought into the turbulence of conflict as a large influx of Muslim refugees fled from the Philippines to Sabah, Malaysia due to the rebellion in Mindanao and in the Sulu archipelago. During the height of the conflict in the 1970s, Muslim refugees and illegal migrants predominantly comprising of the Suluk and Bajau ethnic groups, entered Sabah in large numbers. Their influx sparked security, financial, social and economic problems in Sabah. The Philippine government accused the Sabah Chief Minister at the time for harbouring the Islamic separatists. This article also discusses Malaysia’s commitment to negotiations as a third party facilitator in the peace process between the government of the Philippines, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).Keywords: Moro, MNLF, MILF, refugees, third party facilitator

菲律宾南部的穆斯林摩洛冲突：1970-2010 年对菲律宾-马来西亚双边关系的影响

本文旨在研究摩洛伊斯兰社区在菲律宾南部进行的叛乱，以及 1970 年至 2010 年间塑造菲律宾和马来西亚双边关系的影响。马来西亚因大量穆斯林涌入而陷入冲突的动荡之中。由于棉兰老岛和苏禄群岛的叛乱，难民从菲律宾逃到马来西亚沙巴。在 1970 年代冲突的高峰期，主要由苏禄克族和巴瑶族组成的穆斯林难民和非法移民大量进入沙巴。他们的涌入引发了沙巴的安全、金融、社会和经济问题。菲律宾政府指责当时的沙巴首席部长窝藏伊斯兰分裂分子。
