THE sun rises early in Semporna. It was only 8am but the sunlight was blinding and the main street was buzzing with life.

Everything seemed a bit strange and unfamiliar and, after a while, you realise it is because every other person looked and sounded rather foreign. It was like walking down a street in the Philippines or Indonesia.
