Awesome I have been to Malaysia 5 times but only along the western peninsula and its surrounding islands but my 6th visit will be to the Borneo par of Malaysia mainly Sabah and probably Sarawak

[@colinandmeg]

Wise choice. Sabah and the Sabahan.. great combination to make for happiness ❤

[@brothersman524]

@@haqkhan269 Yes I am planning to go there some point in the future for sure

[@brothersman524]

Update: I was there last year.for my 6th visit to Malaysia. I did stay in Semporna for 3 nights doing day trips to Pulau Mabul and Pulau Sipadan plus other island hopping tours which were absolutely amazing and highly recommended BUT Semporna Town was a dump!! However, went to Kota Kinabalu as well and the city is really nice, and did day trips there too
