Put Borneo Sabah inside quotes:

HTML

<select name=username>
<option value="Borneo Sabah">Borneo Sabah</option>
</select>

Quotes around an attribute value are not required in HTML, but they are necessary in some cases such as when you have to put a space inside your attribute value.

Unquoted attribute values must also not contain any of these characters:

", ', =, >, <, or `. Sure, you can have %, or # or £, but no backticks please!

If you want to do set the attribute value from PHP, you have to escape the quote[^] (using \"):

PHP

echo"<option value=\"".$rows[0]."\">".$rows[0]."</option>";
