To say that Sabah is a great place to go for a holiday in Malaysia is an understatement. Of course, I may be biased as that’s my home state, even though I have lived elsewhere for the past two decades.

But a recent trip home with some media friends and Tourism Malaysia showed me that Sabah truly is a wonderful holiday destination not just for international tourists, but locals too.
