As said, the
experience of Mauritius trip in 2006 has now further proven comparatively, our
own homeland Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu(KK), Sabah portraying the amazing yet
world class islands, beaches, underwater world…..
The tropical
sun, the rainforest greeneries in both the mainland uphill Keningau forest
attached to the Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia and the
blossoming islands live along with the natural habitats in this north Borneo soil
has endorsed my personal gauging and expectation of Malaysia’s own natural
values.
The ‘Home
Endorsement’ is now having it further confirmation to write off the myth ,
perhaps, to be fair, the better story line telling as fiction technique of
Mauritius which is thousands miles away that she is one of the best beaches in
the world.
Sticking our
head by cms to the seashores, beach fronts, even on any jetties, woo la la……..,
the crystal clear swimming pool liked sea water, guarantee battalions of fishes,
“Nemo”, “White Long Fish”, Squid, Sea Horses,little sharks, Corals and more to
be spotted at this South China Sea seabed.
Comparing to
Mauritius, stretching out of thousand of
sea knots, sailing along the very fierce and scary Indian ocean waves, finally
come near to an no-man land island, ha, there you are, just a very small radius
of clear water area, say, hmmm.. maximum
100m2, one only manage to snore scaling here after a long bumpy
sailing.
Why hustle
and bustle traveling to the French colony Mauritius with 7 hours ?
Hop in the
domestic flight from KL to KK just a 2-hour fleet.
Here comes
our Sabah, not only one of the best but rather Platinum grade tourism spot despite
of our lacking skill in telling the world the ‘real story’ how good of our
leisure greenery that we are offering by our mother nature.
The mentor
who has been showing me about Sabah all these years is the old friend of mine,
a successful businessman and very proud man of his own native, is now the
Deputy Chairman of Kadazan-Dusun Cultural Department.
Long house,
tobacco wrapping, hunting blowing pipe, mountain rice wine steaming, height-
jumping for bride and traditional appetizer and fish cooking, and cultural
bamboo dance performance happened in this organized yard.
It is hard
to believe to see a New Zealand like cow farm at the bottom of Mount KK with
high sea level very cooling breeding black &white milk cows and some
sheeps.
The only deficiency is about the
number of cow breeds here, it should be triple the capacity to fulfill the cow
milk demand.
Despite the
uptrend of vegetarian eating culture, without indulging the seafood here will
be incomplete here. Lobsters , groupers,
tiger prawns, clams, mussles, genetic improved oyster….”delizioso” !
Keep telling your story line....Sabah !
