It was the location of a convergent plate boundary until some time during the Early Miocene. Since then Sabah has been massively uplifted, with the Kinabalu Granite, which was emplaced during the early Late Miocene (between 7.8 and 7.2 million years ago), being exhumed at a rate of 7 mm per year during Late Miocene–Early Pliocene (~ 8–3 Ma ago).http://jgs.lyellcollection.org/content/170/5/805.abstract Neogene rock uplift and erosion in northern Borneo: evidence from the Kinabalu granite, Mount Kinabalu Cottam M.A. Hall R.

The Geology of Mount Kinabalu. Sabah Parks Publication, 13. (in pg. 16) The uplift is thought to be a result of either break-off of the subducted slab or delamination of the lithosphere. Despite not being at a plate boundary, GPS measurements show that the coastal part of Sabah is moving towards the north-west. The uplift is thought to be driving gravitational collapse with sliding of the northwestern part of Sabah being accommodated by extension. This is consistent with the focal mechanism of earlier earthquakes in the onshore area.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258787135 The recent convergence on the NW Borneo Wedge—a crustal-scale gravity gliding evidenced from GPS Sapin F.
