Sabah offers healing holiday for retrenched Malaysian


Dad-1

A few weeks before the movement control order was implemented, my church’s care group organised a trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and my wife and I joined them. I’ve heard of the many wonderful stories about this beautiful land but have never been able to visit until then.

When we arrived in KK, we went straight to Kundasang town, which is really close to Mount Kinabalu. It was hot when we got there but by the time we checked into our resort, the weather drastically changed and it was very windy and chilly. We had purposely booked our stay at the Kinabalu Pine Resort as all of its cabins have porches that face the majestic mountain.
