No and no. There was a long-running border dispute over Sipadan and a few other islands between Malaysia and the Philippines, meaning it was a bit of a no-man's land, but the case has been resolved in Malaysia's favor and they now patrol regularly. In any case, even in the bad old days you would not have been kidnapped from Kota Kinabalu
