Sabahan bumi with chinese surname?? Can u explain more? U join muslim?
Converting to Muslim doesn't make one a Bumiputra. Under the Malaysian constitution, Kadazan/Dusun and Sino-Kadazan are both legitimate Bumiputra. This was one of the terms agreed when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined the federation of Malaysia in 1963.
So the question is how can one be a Sino-Kadazan ? When a Chinese marry a Kadazan, their children will be automatically become Sino-Kadazan. There was dispute that the JPN (Jabatan Pendaftaran) doesn't recognize a Sino-Kadazan bearing Chinese surname as Malaysian Bumiputra. This was reported in Star Newspaper many times in year 2007 and 2008 and also about the case that Sino-Kadazan bearing Chinese surname being denied to open an ASB account.
Sino-Kadazan also complained that they were being denied all the Bumiputra privileges such as 5% - 7% discount when buying a house in the Peninsular Malaysia as the JPN in Peninsular Malaysia denied their status as Malaysian Bumiputra. This is however, all solved now. I strongly suggest all Sino-Kadazan out there to check the information stored in their MyKad chip. Make sure your status is written as Sino/Native and
NOT Chinese.
Just an example who is Sino-Kadazan :
Scenario A :Chinese father + Kadazan/Dusun mother = Sino-Kadazan children
Scenario B : Kadazan/Dusun father + Chinese mother = Sino-Kadazan children
Scenario C :Sino-Kadazan father** + Sino-Kadazan mother** = Sino-Kadazan children
**(with Chinese surname or not)
Scenario D :Sino-Kadazan father** + Chinese mother = Sino-Kadazan children
**(with Chinese surname or not)
Scenario E :Chinese father + Sino-Kadazan mother** = Sino-Kadazan children
**(with Chinese surname or not)
The list above was sent out to media and all relevant departments from Putrajaya in late 2007.

for sabahan bumi u need to get the Bumiputera certificate from the ANAK NEGERI in your kampung, then u can submit to PNB.
Surat Anak Negeri was frozen long before i was born (i was born in the late 80s) because there are too many fake Surat Anak Negeri circulating. Surat Anak Negeri can also be bought easily back in the 70s. Most likely your colleague was born before 1982 or else there is no way that she got the Surat Anak Negeri.
Majority of Sino-Kadazan do bear a Chinese surname. It is actually very easy to spot a fake Sino-Kadazan. Those old Sino-Kadazan born before World War 2, in the 60s and 70s speak Malay as their first language at home, despite being English or Chinese educated. Sino-Kadazan from some inner parts of Sabah address their parents in Hokkien but speak only Malay with their parents. My mom for example, was Chinese educated in primary school and English educated in secondary school but speak only Malay with her parents and siblings.

My colleague she has the same scenerio as u, and she got it approved after submitting the cert from anak negeri, now she can invest in all funds available by PNB, with the ASN passbook she can also get bumi 7% discount for buying property.
Actually one only needs to make sure his/her race recorded in JPN is Sino/Native then he/she will be able to get a 7% bumiputra discount when buying property in the Peninsular Malaysia.
I have had an ASB account since 2002 but in order for me to buy the Bumiputra units of ASW2020, i need another official letter from Jabatan Hal Ehwal Negeri despite what is recorded as my race in JPN. It's been 4 months since i submitted all the documents but i have yet to hear from them. Talking about Wawasan 2020 ... DUH ! We're still far from there !
