I'm from peninsular Malaysia and been auditor for many companies in Malaysia from Sandakan, Miri, Kuching, JB, KK Penang to Langkawi since 2001. for this 23 years long, I've experienced all the vibes and locations. basically almost same all over places in Malaysia. but each places may have their own speciality of cuisine and dialects. that's the only different.
@@askarsepoi malon….boring life 👎👎👎
7:45 People tend to expect the food in Sabah & Sarawak to be copycats of food in the peninsula and when that expectation is not met, they tend to say food there aren't nice. The thing is... both Sabah & Sarawak cuisine have milder profile which contain a lot of local plant and herbs as their ingredients and aren't available in the peninsula Malaysia. The assumption that there isn't any diversity in terms of food is that because chinese food dominates. If one were to look harder, you'll find stalls and kopitiams with traditional indigenous food! If you're in Kuching, there are a few places to get indigenous food like Jak Ma'an, Busang Jelini Long Panai, Awah Cafe (a bit further in the city), Rumah Asap (smokehouse where you can find delicious grilled pork)... Just because you can't find many Indian restaurants in there doesn't mean we don't have diversity in our cuisine.
totally agree! Thanks for the more detailed explanation :)
@ClairesFootsteps
True. I worked in Sabah in the 2010+.
I am from the peninsular.
Hi remember me? 😁
sahabat , are there any youtubers from sabah or sarawak who cover sabah n sarawak (esp local or indigenous food) or other travel interests?
agree!
Thanks for visiting Malaysia especially Sarawak . It safe to travel in Sarawak. Malaysia is truly Asia.
The whole of West & East Malaysia are now very safe. Sea Patrol bordering Sabah and Philipines has been more frequent as a naval based (ESSCOM) has been established in Sabah since the Filipino guerilla invasion of Sabah in 2016.🫡 Worst case crime happened in Malaysia is in KL as too many foreign workers (both legal & illegal) resides there. Eventhough KL is ranked as among the safest capital city in the world.
In 2013, not in 2016.
That's not quite true. There's large swaths of Malaysia which is dangerous. The jungles east of the titiwangsa mountain range still have man eating tigers. And just last week, a man was attacked by a crocodile in Kelantan.
But the cities, towns and villagers are relatively safe though.
@@BenHifni
Hoax. No man eating tiger in Malaysia.
You have no facts at all.
Yup it's not true at all. The Philippines naval been secured their own territory against pirates very well while malaysia let those pirates into their territory to create media & hate speech about neighbouring countries like Philippines & Indonesia. I recommend to see uranghutan in Kalimantan Indonesian's territory because they take a good care wildlife there compare to malaysia borneo. I would say Philippines are more safe than malaysia. Malaysia has a lot complicated & complex turmoil policies. The only good thing about malaysia is the food that's all.
@@quentinj6357 You must be barmy. 🫨 Malaysian government letting the Filipinos pirates to kidnap Malaysian / tourist and letting them killed Malaysian poliemen JUST TO CREATE hate media and speech against Philipines and Indonesia 🤔It is an opinion so ridicules and st*p#d 🤣🤣 What a lame excuse for hidding your country's incapability to secure own waters
Borneo food is very good, there are vegetables that one can only eat in Borneo and certain seafood too.
Borneo East Malaysia Kalimantan Indonesia... mostly people think we are living on trees, and no transportation..yes we are living on trees with escalators, and our transportation is crocodile express boat, Kuyang aeroplane, and dinosaur 4x4 cars..
Been living in Sarawak since 1984.Now I'm in Sabah since 2023.
Pls enjoy Borneo hospitality.
Thanks for bringing out the deforestation issue. There have been so many flag signs like flash flood and land slides but people still refuse to connect between these two
Thanks for bringing the light about the deforestation issues. There are conservation effort like reforestation but who knows how long thats gonna take.
Tq for visiting Kota Kinabalu. I live in the outskirt of KK, it is safe & the locals (me) are very friendly. Most of us speak English too. It would be interesting if you had attempted to climb Mount Kinabalu, tallest in South East Asia.
Thank you for your reviews about your recent trip to Borneo Island Sabah East Malaysia..Come again and try challenge to climb mount kinabalu😂..it is 4095m above mean sea level..those are lies being spread about Sabah to deter people from visiting here😂..You have now experience the warmth hospitality of Borneon people especially sabahan..Once again thank you🫶
Mount Kinabalu is definitely on my list for when I return! Didn't know it was that high! Yes absolutely I felt super safe in Sabah and can't wait to return :)
@@ClairesFootsteps You are warmly welcome🫶
Hey Claire. I'm Earl, From Keningau. A small town in Borneo. About 2 half hours from Kota Kinabalu. Thank you for sharing this video about Borneo 👍💕
You should have gone diving at Mantanani Islamd (off Kota Belud) where you can see dugong (misyaken for mermaids by sailors of old). And if you’re lucky, even whale sharks.
Mamutik amd Manuhan are nive, too
there are no more dugong's bro,and diver's especially experience diver shouldn't go there to dive,not much to offer , tarp diving is good tho. Highly recommed there.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.. In fact..the mainland government treat us like shit in severals sectors..
The inference of muddy rivers to deforestation is simply misleading. I live in the peninsula and there are two huge rivers passing by my town, and I have seen them muddy all the while since my childhood days to my senior citizen age. There is absolutely no deforestation in the area.
Ah okay, this is what I heard when I was there. Maybe they're muddy for different reasons? I may have misheard though!
@@ClairesFootstepsthe soil around the river has much to do with the colour of water in the river. In Malaysia, the water table is generally high, meaning the water is not very deep from the land surface. In my town during the rainy season, when a burial plot is dug about 2 feet you already see water. To dig six feet becomes difficult. Coffins will be floating and have to be drownded by placing the heavy clay soil that was dug out. FYI. clay soil is the heaviest form of soil.
Clay soil that is commonly found in Malaysia tends to muddy the streams and rivers after a torrential downpour. Most rivers in Malaysia have muddy colour by nature.
Thanks for the information! That's the origin of the name of Kuala Lumpur right?
@@ClairesFootsteps yes, you are right. Muddy Confluence.
Yep I'm am environmental and chemical masters. Muddy water not equal to deforestation. In the case of Kinabatangan river which I pass monthly cause I live in in the area, ti has been always like that. It's the characteristic of the river which is more muddy.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Negara Sabah, Borneo. Please do not avoid palm oil, it's a golden crop that has lifted lots of our people out of abject poverty.
Sometimes the sea trash is a problem in sabah coastal areas
Yes . Sea trash is the downside of Sabah especially where most Filipino ( mostly illegal ) resided. Most of the illegal Filipinos are uneducated as they cannot go to school in Malaysia😪😪
Yes that's true, noticed that quite a bit around Kota Kinabalu
@@ClairesFootsteps due to water villages.
@@keangwooichoo6138and the 'stateles people' CNN talked abt
It's all about Sabah Borneo Malaysia. There is Sarawak too. Tbh, Sabah offer more in tourism escapades.
yeah I need to visit Sarawak!
awesome, see you again coming back to borneo, lot of amazing things near Kota Kinabalu
Thanks for visiting our beloved Island. I'm from Sabah or North Borneo.
The 9th lie....sabah n sarawak also differs...though both are in borneo...fyi i dont know about sabah but in sarawak, our rivers are all muddy with or without the alledge deforestation. Stay away from palm oil is mainly an economic war by the other vege oil producers but the again do a holistic research about it. Include the socio economic importance too apart from just environmental. Anyway, make a trip to sarawak when you have the opportunity..
Hey I would love to visit Sarawak too! Yeah it's important to research all aspects I agree with that. I did find it sad to see the loss of orangutan habitat. But I understand that's easy for me to say - in the UK we sadly already destroyed most of our natural habitat a long time ago and I do understand it's often what happens with modern development.
Do come visit the great Mulu Cave in Sarawak. You won't regret it@@ClairesFootsteps
Thank you for visiting Sabah and for your honest opinion about the environment and the pollution. I hope the community leader of these water village are being given education about cleanliness and the effect of these garbage to the corals. Which one of the ministries - in Sabah who is suppose to be monitor all these rubbish/garbage ?? It has been going on for decades. The local government is turning a blind eye to it!
Hopefully it will improve over time! Absolutely loved Sabah and I look forward to returning :)
one of the lies is that they said Borneo Malaysian live in the tree.... i went and see none at all... i was exited for nothing 😂
I'm from Penampang. Its what you may call "suburb" area of Kota Kinabalu. Yes Penampang is the heart of Cultural fusion of all 42 tribes in Sabah. Penampang is dominantly Kadazan and Christian. The famous "Sinalau Bakas" (Smoked WIld Boar" is here and other meat related cuisine not just pork. I guessed you missed this part since a lot of negative "hear-say" comes from Peninsular towards "Sabah". In all honesty, Peninsular? Malayan folks tends to "bad-mouth" Sabah. Malaysia is actually a Federation and I'm sure you knew this that it was formed by Malaya, Singapore, Sabah & Sarawak ( 4 country). The East Malaysian "is not particularly fond of West Malaysian" - different mentality, lifestyles and culturally different.
You are correct to say the East side of Sabah is now particularly safer after the "Invasion of Lahad Datu" (You may google that bit). I do have a close friend who worked in Mabul Island and she can confirm the situation (her husband is Scottish).
Here is a bucket list of you plan for your next trip here. Long houses - Kudat, aka The TIp of Borneo, sandy beaches, cleaner and much, much safer than any other place in Sabah. Peaceful and you can absolutely meditate if you want. Kudat has one of the best beaches, clean and awesome sunset views. SIPITANG - 2.30hrs drive if you fancy local (NON GMO and absolutely 100% organic tropical fruits like Durian, Rambutan, Langsat, Cempedak, Jackfruit and many others). Nearer the KK area - there are KOKOL Resort at Manggatal. In Penampang if you fancy the sweat, funky smells and want to see a lot of Kadazan, Dusun folks in one place, visit Tamu Donggongon from Wednesday to Saturday at DOnggongon CIty, PEnampang. Additionally you can visit Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA) to visit mock traditional houses of Native Tribes of Sabah.
All Eastern Sabah has the cheapest Seafood, but find yourself a good guide or the vendors will suck you up dry. Since you said you are vegetarian, head to Kundasang and find some highlands or mountain veggies - you can visit Kundasang Park, or climb Mt Kinabalu. FYI, I am Kadazan. Mt Kinabalu is sacred to our people. When climbing do not use swear words, mock or insults is a No-No. be respectful, do not throw trash on the mountain. Whether you are superstitious or not; it is not the firs time the mountain has "disappear" folks from the trail. Singaporean and Taiwanese has experience this before. Many.
I worked with TOuchdown Holiday UK before its operation permit was revoked in KK. So I have experience handling European tourist, I'm leaving a comment to show my support on your video. Thank You for visiting Sabah. Chrs.
You forgot to add Singapore too😅 they also a once a Malaysia until 1963
Hello Claire. Thank you for sharing your experience. Im watching from Marudi Sarawak and respect your point of views.
Pretty much missing out on a huge part of Malaysian Borneo if you haven't visited Sabah's 'sibling', Sarawak. While there are less resorts, there are many opportunities to authentically experience local culture such as staying in modern or traditional longhouses, or experiencing local cuisine straight from their kitchens. There's also the Cultural Village in Kuching, the Cultural Museum and the Rainforest Music Festival which attract thousands of tourists every year. It's also safe to roam around, the only securiy issue you'll face are with crocodiles 🐊
It's on my list to visit 🙂
I went to the islands in Semporna last July 2023, it was safe & sound. A family from Germany stayed 3 days & 2 nites in the chalets on an island off Semporna town & they enjoyed themselves there. If you listen too much from the hoax news, you'll missed the chance to experience the fantastic experience of snorkelling watching the sea creatures yrself as you dive.xx
You are welcome to Sarawak, Borneo....the place to travel
Thankyou for your comment that you others our country is safe for the travellers or tourists to visit three countries in Borneo,Sabah and Sarawak(part of malaysia),Brunei and kalimantan(indonesia).
grt vid. its true there is deforestation😞. tho i think the inference abt muddy river is not quite accurate as rainforest rivers anywhere are muddy. imagine the amount of runoff from all the trees from its source and its tributaries .
Malaysia Borneo is Sabah Borneo and Sarawak Borneo. Two different territory. Sabah Borneo is bordering the Philippines.
Yes! Sorry I did know that but might not have explained it properly in the video!
if you asking the right person then youll get the right asnwer of youre asking the wrong person then youll get all the negative answer.. i do suggest chose the right season when visiting sabah ifyou enter at rainning season then theres not much to see.. btw do visit the mount kinabalu the view there also stunning
In fact, Malaysia is safer for tourists to visit.
Malaysia is known as one of the main world tourism destinations in Southeast Asia.
Malaysia is famous for its diversity, KL as a modern and sophisticated city with the best public transport system in Southeast Asia.
Malaysia has the best education system and medical health system in Southeast Asia.
Malaysia especially KL is also the best shopping center in Southeast Asia with the price affordable items.
Malaysia is also a food paradise with a variety of food tastes from all over the world, Malaysian citizens who are highly disciplined, polite, friendly and hospitable.
For some sighseeing Orang utans, you may want to walk through the jungle going to Gomantong Cave. There's a great chances of you seeing few orang utans there/proboscis monkey. Else, you might want to travel (Usually tourist will not travel to this area) to area of Beluran, and the Paitan or Sugut river. chances are great there too. Some of the not known island on East Sabah also have some wildlife there.
You need to try the local friut in Sabah. Buah tarap, buah bambangan. Once eaten forever like it 😂
Did you also check out Sarawak state, also another Malaysian state on Borneo?
It only takes 20 mins drive from the Kuching airport to get to the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre where Orang Utans are being rehabilitate.
Hopefully you enjoy your journey in sabah. Btw sabah is very safe now and hopefully more and more tourist will come visit sabah and sarawak you guys are very welcome.
Please come to (Kuching) Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia, so can see in ulu menyang, wild orang utan and more cultural traditions and foods…..
If you want to see the Orang Utan in the wild pls go to Delok at Batang Ai which is located in the Lubok Antu District, in the Sri Aman Division of Sarawak.
I love Borneo, we go to Brunei every yr for the last 9 yrs. went to Miri last week. very nice people there. My next trip will be Kuching. Love Labuan
10 pulau tercantik di Sabah Malaysia...10 beautiful islands in Sabah Malaysia. Have a nice day.
Awesome! ❤
9:54 that looked way too much muddy, maybe it's raining upstream the river
Borneans have unique delicacies that can seem exotic to West Malaysians, especially when it comes to halal and non-halal dishes like Kolo Mee, which taste different depending on how they’re prepared.
Spice use also varies between regions. East Malaysians often find Peninsular food too spiced, while Peninsular Malaysians may find Sabah or Sarawak food too mild. Personally, I can eat large portions back home & stay slim (physique), but the higher sugar and fat content in the peninsula makes a noticeable difference even for 1 week. 😂
Borneans, especially those from rural areas, have distinct taste buds and often find city food overly sweet or salty. Even vegetarians can enjoy Borneo’s variety of exotic fruits, plants, and mushrooms.
We now have EESCOM to protect eastern sabah from Filipino pirates .
Not EESCOM but ESSCOM ~ East Sabah Security Command.
Yes I heard that that's why it's quite secure now :)
the orange thinggy in the map, not even safe for the local to travel too.. 😅
in the past Sulu terrorist would kidnapping tourists for ransom.. but today both Malaysia and Philippine have agreement to increasing patrolling around those area.. so it's quite safe for tourists to visit
why are some people so obsessed with the Ugly orang utan.. do go to Borneo for other reasons.. there's so much more going on.. Ben Fishermin did a brilliant video on his Borneo trip..
It's their money, not yours. so it's up to them.
TQ for visit Borneo Sabah part of MSIA, I think try to visit Sarawak MSIA, n feel safe.u can drive from kk to Kuching Sarawak by pass Brunei.
*Welcome to Malaysia truly Asia good food, good people beautiful beach, GOOD DURIAN TOO , beautiful skyscrapers, Centre Off Travelers & others, M"sian likes to lepak Restaurant Mamak drink Teh Tarik, Likes to joining Malaysian just asking them, Welcome 🇲🇾💙🧡♥️💙🇲🇾*
If diving is your thing, check out South Sulawesi, Indonesia...
Also, Indonesians usually don't use the name "Borneo", they refer to their part of the Island, and even sometimes the whole island, as Kalimantan.
In Sandakan,we have the Orang Utan Rehabilitation center. And a few special awesome parks to visit,like the Crocodile Farm. But,for the safety,I mean wherever you go.Just be careful. In Sabah, ppl can just snatch your wallet from your hand😅. Or worse,they cut your bagpack without you realise it. So never ever put valuable item like HP, wallet on the table and make sure you carry your bagpack at your front side.
Good evening my friend. I am happy to meet you
Yes,uncle TAN...LOCATED IN SANDAKAN TOO.😂😂😂😂
Thanks sister..... 😊😊
whats the real need of seeing orangutans in the wild, to start with 😅? it requires waiting about in jungles with pesky mosquitos leeches, for like 5 minutes sightings ? the conservations, with built watching platforms, and with 99% assured sightings (?) are just perfect tradeoff
Hard to put into words but there's something especially magical I think, especially as there aren't so many of them. Personally I always will wait around to see one but each to their own :)
@@ClairesFootstepsyou don't see it many because orang utan stay deep in the jungle, as a north Borneo Islands person I know, I was born here and most tourists who come to north Borneo Islands thought they can see orang utan when going to the jungle, 😅 orang utan just staying in one areas and only in Sandakan. And I was staying in different areas. Even myself can't see orang utan daily. So it seems that you guys get a lot of misunderstanding about our country but I do appreciate you visiting the Borneo Islands,and I would have to say thank you 🙏. maybe next time you consider coming again but better in may, there is a traditional festival activity here in north Borneo. See you next time. 💐🌹
@@ClairesFootsteps indeed the feeling is different. we were lucky to be able to see some wild orang utans outside the Gomantong cave (somewhere in Kinabatangan jungle)
The feeling of seeing wild orang utan is very different , their eyes are " alive and happy",seeing them enjoying wild fruit , playing on trees, you can feel the happy atmosphere. zoo orang utan eyes has a dead and bored look. And the thrill of sighting a wild one is priceless. Btw , in a unbroken ecosystem , there won't be any mosquitos , I went to Danum valley , primary rainforest zero mosquitos.
Borne is a huge island . Sarawak . Sabah . Kalimantan Brunei . So when you say Borneo , it's misleading.
Or just said north borneo
If u r vegetarians, next time try jely segu or kangkung goreng, cucumber leaf soup
Next time!
terimakasih. thank you for such a nice review.
Most of d places u visited is a tourist trap...get a local to guide u for real feel of sabah.
You should mention ESSCOM
Yes I should have! I didn't know so much about them when I was there, learnt a lot from people in the comments 🙂
This you talking about,😂😂😂😂😂is where i live,where orang utan is,IS THE STATE OF SANDAKAN,😂😂😂😂😂THE SECOND CITY OF KOTA KINABALU,😂😂😂😂😂WELL THANK YOU,VERY NICE!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍😉😉😉😉🫰🫰🫰🌄🌄🌄😃😃😃😃⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We,the people of Sarawak and Borneo are the safest place in the whole of Malaysia
The federation of Malaysia is made up of three countries.
1. Malaya or West Malaysia made of small states like Perlis, Kedah,Malacca,Perak,
Johore, Penang. . .
2. North Borneo or
Sabah
3. Sarawak which is the
size of West Malaysia
Sarawak has the majority of Christian and NO official in Sarawak under the 18 points plan MA63.
We share same table with Muslims and non muslims in Sarawak. Multi racial marriage is the norm.
Please don't be mislead by those crooks . You can see orang utan,feed them and is only 12 miles from City centre.
We love Sarawak and English is widely spoken too. Other languages spoken are Chinese, Bahasa Bangku Malaysia,local Malay, IBAN,Bidayuh, Lun Bawang,etc,etc. The only place where Church and mosque are built side by side,one in Miri and one in Kuching,it's just unique and Kuching is a clean city
Puji Tuhan👍👍😘😘
Praise God👍👍😘❤️
Its pronunced oh-runk oo-tunt not oh-rank oh-tang❤
U wc n tq u coz visit my hometown.come again to climb mount kinabalu....feel the experience u never2 ever forget.❤❤❤❤❤
Yes I'm planning to climb Mount Kinabalu on my next trip to Borneo!
Ye, the forest is shrinking and the government here are in denial,
Pls don't spread those news bout Borneo, East Malaysia. We like it to b less touristy, we don't want over tourism that could destroy our nature & environment. Whatever u luv bout here, juz keep it to urself 👍👍👍
Hey, fully understand and respect your opinion! I spoke to lots of people in Borneo, many who do want to see an increase in sustainable, mindful tourism (which is what I promote). I always encourage people to visit eco-friendly resorts, clean up beaches and oceans, support conservation programmes etc and do believe that by doing this travel can be a force for good. People will always talk about destinations and share travel stories, we've been doing so since the beginning of time :)
Welcome to Sabah borneo
can you specific which one?sabah or sarawak?
Going to the wild to see orang utan is like going to the wild to see gorilla
Hi Clare..hope to meet you soon when you travel again to Borneo.. Please do not hesitate to contact me.. Nice to meet you..😊❤
Come to Sarawak
You only went to Sabah not Sarawak.
Come again!
As a malaysia. Yes samporna is not safe place. Please dont come there.. Pleaseeee. Nanti ramai pelancong rosak tempat favoured aku tuuu... Hehe

It's a video of me talking!
@@ClairesFootsteps Haha. I guess he want to see the videos of your journey.
@@wannaim6958 haha there are plenty of those elsewhere on my channel :)
very boring country 👎👎👎 dont go there
You call it Malondesh. Many call it Borneo island or just Borneo. Some call it Kalimantan for the whole island. However you call it, you are not forced to come here. Since you find that it is so boring, don't waste so many years here. Like others will say go back to where you come from. If you love big cities like Kuala Lumpur then you promote that city to everyone out there. You don't need to say bad things about places that are not big, not city, not futuristic. Unless you are paid to write about sinkholes and to write that Malondesh is so boring. To all travellers, Malondesh is for explorers. Come with an open mind of exploring the island that is made up of Sarawak, Sabah, Brunei and Kalimantan.
Thanks to the positive influencers. Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak have more England's histories in them whereas Kalimantan has more Netherland's history. Coming to this island give you a chance of going to three different countries at one shot. This chance will be lost the day they merge to become one country.
@@Venerian2023 if you dont want to d i e…dont go to malondesh 😂😂😂 your chance to stumble upon sinkhole are high in malondesh

@@AtanAtan-rk2vk nah bro. I don't want that to happen. It's better Malaysia to remain as it is now.
Better stay with Malaysia. As Sarawakian myself. Either be with Malaysia or become a country itself. That my choice is. We are not perfect but we got everything we need to live our life in Malaysia
@@vjm7540keep dreaming philippines. Your ancestor was a pirate to us in borneo. We are the dayak the kadazan is the local living here more than 3000 years back. Your philippines pirate ancestor deal with Brunei for helping them in war and with the exchange for small land in East sabah is not a valid at all. No real documents exist in Brunei for such thing. Go fx yrsdkf philippines.
Literally, most of the people you encounter in Sabah especially in Kota Kinabalu, Kudat, Sandakan, Tawau and other towns on the east coast are not the original sons of the soil. They are Illegal Immigrants from Southern Filipins and Indonesia . Sabah is not as safe as before these Immigrants came.
We are marginalized by the colonial Malaya for decades! Our development are mostly stalled especially in railway, road, electricity, water supply, school and etc compared to the Malaya. The Malaya colonial regime is only interested to exploits our natural resources such as oil and gas and etc, than used those revenues to develop Malaya (peninsula)! Sabah and Sarawak are marginalized since we formed 'Malaysia'.
Seems that there are still thousand of enjoyment, attractive place you did not see in Sabah
definitely I need to return!
I think Malaysia should put travel alerts for europe (gangs, crime, drugs, terorists)
I do agree that largely Malaysian cities are safer than London + other British cities.
I travelled outside of Malaysia. I feel safer in Malaysia (in general)
