                Sabah: Beauty and Heritage


Sabah, located on the northern end of the island of Borneo, is known as "the land below the wind." This nickname comes from its location just south of the typhoon-prone region around the Philippines. As a local, I have come to understand why Sabah is considered one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Sabah has a rich and diverse history, with the first historical records of the region dating back to the 7th century. European traders and explorers began to arrive in the region in the 16th century, and in late 1800s, the British North Borneo Company took control of the area. In 1963, Sabah joined the Federation of Malaysia and gained its independence.

As a local, I have been blessed to have the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of Sabah. From the lush rainforests to the pristine beaches, Sabah offers a diverse range of landscapes. One of the most famous natural attractions in Sabah is Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Southeast Asia. The Kinabalu Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, and it is home to thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on earth.


Another natural wonder that I often visit is the Kinabatangan River, one of the longest rivers in Malaysia. The river is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including the proboscis monkey, the Borneo elephant, and the orangutan. I often take a river cruise to spot these and other animals in their natural habitat.


Sabah is also known for its rich cultural heritage. The state is home to many ethnic groups, including the Kadazan-Dusun, Bajau, and Murut peoples. Each group has its own unique customs, traditions, and festivals, which can be experienced through cultural tours and homestays. As a local, I am proud to be able to share this diverse culture with visitors.


One of the most beautiful places in Sabah is the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, which is located just a short boat ride from the capital city of Kota Kinabalu. The park consists of five islands, each with its own unique features and attractions. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling and diving, as well as hiking and picnicking. It's a place I often take my friends and family when they visit.


For adventure seekers, Sabah offers plenty of opportunities for activities such as white water rafting, rock climbing, and paragliding. The region is also popular for diving and snorkeling as it boasts a diverse marine life and crystal-clear waters. As a local, I have tried many of these activities and can confidently say that Sabah is a true adventure paradise.


In conclusion, Sabah is a land of incredible natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. From its lush rainforests to its pristine beaches, Sabah offers something for everyone. As a local, I can say that Sabah is more than just a place to visit, it's a place to call home.

POEM:Virtue rises with Sun

Virtue rises with the sun, A new day has begun. With every light that shines, A new chance to be kind. With every step we take, A chance to give and make There is a difference in the world, With actions that are unfurled, As the day grows bright, Let us strive for what is right. With every breath we take, Let us make virtue's presence felt. For doing what is good, We lift ourselves and those we could, And as the sun sets low, We'll know that virtue's fire will glow. So let us rise with the sun, And do all that can be done, For in living virtuously, We'll make the world a better place for you and me.                 SUPPORT ME HERE Your support will help me continue to create valuable content for you to enjoy .

Once open a time in Bugaron

Once upon a time, in a far-off land called Kota Belud, there was a small and peaceful village named Kampung Bugaron. The village was home to the Dusun people, who were known for their strong sense of community and their deep connection to the land. The village was surrounded by lush green rice fields, and the people of Kg Bugaron were proud of their agricultural heritage. They had been farming the land for generations, and their hard work and dedication had resulted in bountiful harvests. One of the most striking features of Kg Bugaron was the hill that stood at the edge of the village. This hill was a source of pride for the villagers, as it offered a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The hill was a popular spot for hiking, and the villagers often organized picnics and walks to the top. At the summit of the hill, there were two large rocks that offered a panoramic view of the village, the rice fields, and even the sea in the distance. The villagers often climbed to the t...
