By the way if you are curious tentang sejarah Kinabatangan

Apa yang menarik tentang Kinabatangan selain dari Sungai Kinabatangan yg ada wildlife menarik seperti buaya, spesis burung hantu, pygmy elephants dan stargazing waktu malam? Gua Agop Batu Tulug is a must visit when u r there.

Agop Tulug Cave combines words from 3 language

Agop in Sungai language means "cave"
Batu is the Malay word for "rock", Tulug comes from the Cebuano language (carrying the same meaning as in the Sungai language) where it means sleep/ resting place of the dead.

Last year i went to Kinabatangan.

Kalau anda ada plan nak ke Sabah, instead of doing the usual Kota Kinabalu, why not put Sandakan-Kinabatangan in your itinerary.

Theres a direct flight from Air Asia & MAS from KLIA to Sandakan Airport.

Sandakan yg sebelum ni dikenali sbg Elopura, merupakan capital kepada North Borneo sebelum dibom pada 1944 (dipindahkan ke Jesselton/KK)

Apa yang menarik di Sandakan? Selain dari mempunyai sebuah pelabuhan yg boleh anda naik feri ke Zamboanga, Filipina, Sandakan yg jg dkenali sbg Little Hong Kong serves really sedap makanan seafood, the best di Sabah.

(maka, kalau tanya mana yg best makan seafood di KK, i akan kata tiada. The best is in Sandakan)

Kalau anda minat sejarah, check out sejarah ttg Sandakan.

Interestingly, sandakan asalnya dimiliki empayar kesultanan brunei, kemudian ceded kepada kesultanan sulu di abad 17-18 sbg hadiah pertolongan perang sivil brunei.

Another interesting read dan apa yg anda akan come across waktu google ttg Sandakan adalah The Sandakan Death Marches. ,

Anyhow, apa nak buat kalau touchdown Sandakan? Expect adventure, hutan, rivercruise dan wildlife! Reward anda dgn seafood galore setiap malam.

Eastcoast of Sabah 📌🚩

Sungai Kinabatangan

The second longest river in Malaysia, w a length of 560 km from its headwaters in the mountains of southwest Sabah, to its outlet at the Sulu Sea, east of Sandakan

Downstream Sg. Kinabatangan ialah Sukau.

Drive from Sandakan to Gua Gomantong will take you less than 1hr 30mins.

Described by WWF as 'the best-managed edible birds' nest cave in the world',

A 3hrs drive from Kinabatangan to Lahad Datu you will arrive to the famous 108,230 acres of pristine virgin rain forest, Danum Valley

Sedikit info tentang Lahad Datu, di LD ada beberapa palm oil refinery and terletaknya POIC which was set up in 2005 by Sabah state gov as Malaysia's first dedicated palm oil logistics hub.

To date, 18 companies have bought land in POIC with 8 companies involved in the production of palm biodiesel.

It is believed that Lahad Datu adalah the first site in northern borneo di mana islam was first introduced

Ref to a book written by Muhiddin Yusin in 1990 ‘Islam di Sabah’, Abdullah dari Darvel Bay, Lahad Datu brought the teaching from Sulu to Sabah in 1408 after accepting Islam

Awal tahun 2011, Sabah gov canceled a 300-megawatt coal plant, which many feared would be a major source of pollution, berdekatan Tabin Wildlife Reserve in Lahad Datu

(atas sebab ini kerajaan sabah masih mencari jalan bagaimana untuk produce electricity lebih murah dan tidak memudaratkan alam sekitar - in fact planning for hydro dam pun kena oppose)

Tahu tak betapa dekatnya Sandakan, Sabah dengan (southern phils) Zamboanga, Philippines?

You can take a ferry from Sandakan ke Zamboanga, travel distance ialah 16jam.

Di Sabah ada 27 sistem gua untuk penternakan burung layang-layang secara semula jadi.  Ada 34 spesies burung layang-layang di seluruh dunia dan di Sabah ada enam spesies, tetapi hanya dua spesies are edible.

After balik dari a river cruise in upperstream sungai kinabatangan, which is Bilit, i told DS Bung about how amazing kehidupan liar sepanjang sungai situ, his reply, "our gov still lack in ensuring the wildlife is protected". Byk lg perlu dilakukan

Banyak tempat di Sabah yang masih tidak ada light pollution maka its a perfect place kalau mahu stargazzing. Boleh follow @ SStargazers

Danum Valley, one of the world’s most complex ecosystem, this forest serves as a natural home for endangered wildlife species such as banteng, asian elephant, clouded leopard, orang utan, as well as a vast range of Sabah’s lowland fauna.

Tahukah anda,

A total of 53% or 3.9 million hectares of land in Sabah have been permanently set aside as forest reserves, protection areas and wildlife conservation areas through its sustainable forest management policy.

(usaha utk achieve TPA % ni adalah backed up by musa, walaupun ehem. Ok continue lain cerita)

Maliau Basin Conservation Area, 58,840 ha, also known as Sabah’s Lost World is a huge bowl of pristine forests described as one of the few remaining relatively untouched wilderness areas in the world.

To get there, you need to write to yayasan sabah

Maliau Falls, Maliau Basin

Less than 50% of the basin has been explored since the discovery of this amazing place in 1947.

Maliau Basin also possesses the largest number of waterfalls in this country.

At least 28 waterfalls showing heights of more than 5 m have been mapped in Maliau Basin.

Maliau Basin is called Sabah's Lost World is because of its steep outer rim that creates a natural barrier isolates it from the world.

Pokok tertinggi di dunia ada di Danum Valley, Sabah

Seraya kuning siput, is towering at 94.1 metres tree with a canopy measuring 40.3 metres in diameter.

(a research done in 2016 also found 49 other trees taller than 90 metres spread all over Sabah)

Mud volcano in Tabin Wildlife Reserve.

44km off Lahad Datu or 1hr 35mins + 20 mins hike, you will arrive at a elevated bare area of the mud volcano which is frequented by wildlife and birds. Lipad Mud Volcano

Sarang burung di Gua Gomantong, Kinabatangan

Selain dari Gua Gomantong, 2 lagi gua besar untuk penternakkan sarang burung semulajadi yg terbesar di Sabah ialah Gua Madai di Kunak dan gua Batu Timbang di Kuamut.

Apa yang menarik tentang Gua Gomantong ialah di dalam gua ni ada another 19 caves. Yang kesemuanya pun menghasilkan sarang burung dr swiflet hitam dan putih.

Sarang burung yang dihasil di gua ini adalah merupakan yang terbaik di dunia.

A college friend of mine told me this before, family family yg keturunan org sungai of this area in Gua Gomantong take turn in harvesting sarang burung ni.

When cruising along sungai kinabatangan

Bohey Dulang, Semporna

Bohey Dulang is a mountainous island formed by the remnants of an ancient volcano.

It is separated from Bodgaya, the biggest island in Tun Sakaran Marine Park, by a shallow channel

Tun Sakaran Park is the 7th park gazetted area dalam Sabah Park.

Siapa yang menghuni pulau pulau ini? Orang bajau laut yang tinggal atas stilt houses or houseboat.

Orang bajau laut ni pening darat.

Dari filipina, turun ke east coast Sabah, sampai ke perairan sulawesi. (Indonesia haritu tangkap bot bot bajau laut dan push them to us)

Nomads. Bajau Laut, sea gypsies

Bodgaya, Tun Sakaran Park

Pulau Bodgaya adalah pulau terbesar dalam Tun Sakaran Marine Park - covers an area of 796 hectares.

Pulau pulau dalam Taman Sakaran Marine Park -Boheydulang, Sabangkat, Salakan, sand cays Maiga, Sibuan, Mantabuan & patch reef Church and Kapikan

Pulau terkecil di Taman Sakaran Marine Park, Mantabuan Island

Mantabuan Island ada army post dan pulau ini dihuni oleh orang bajau laut. A 2km boat ride from boheydulang.
