Sabah is the place where I called home. It is the second largest state out of thirteen states in Malaysia and it has about 3.2 million populations. Sabah is special due to the diverse ethnic groups that live in harmony. There are 22 main ethnic who speak 55 languages and practicing their individual customs.
The main ethnic groups are the Kadazandusun, Bajau, Rungus and Murut. It is not surprising to see various and unique festivals in Sabah as a result of its diverse population. Some of the colorful and well preserved festivals are the Pesta Kaamatan, Regatta Lepa Semporna, and Pesta Rumbia.
Sabah, also known as the “Land below the Wind” is also well known for its Orang Utan sanctuary, beautiful beaches and diving sites as well as the home to the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, the Mount Kinabalu.
Living here is peaceful and I am lucky that I live outside the city center away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a lot of lush green scenery around and I wake up each morning to the sounds of birds chirping and the occasional sound of cockerel.
