After visiting Sarawk last year we (my wife & I ) visited Sabah this May (06)Fantastic build up your turists by all means, but don't spoil the greatist island most of the world has yet to experience.
Do it slowly and with your own people taking small steps, without becoming like the rest of mankind..greedy and with little concern.
Fantastic people & a fantastic island.
Thank you for allowing me to see and experience the holiday We shall never forget. TAKE only pictures and LEAVE only footprints really should be your countries code..many many thanks.
