    Kinabalu Climb Part 2 🧗‍♀️ Summit Push & Descent

    The reality of Borneo's Mount Kinabalu, we discovered, lies not in the triumphant photographs taken at dawn, but in the pitch-black, exhausting hours preceding them, and the subsequent descent.

  9. Sesko soars as Manchester United surge past Sabah on Champions League return
    By David Hytner at Old Trafford

    It was a night for romance given the astonishing story that Sabah brought with them to Old Trafford for their Champions League debut. This is a club that did not even exist a decade ago and nobody saw their bolt to the title in Azerbaijan coming last season; in 2024-25, they had finished 41 points off the top. The job that their manager, Valdas Dambrauskas, has done since taking over in the summer of last year is extraordinary.

  10. I wonder. Thousands of years ago, Borneo was cared for by its natives. Then colonisers came with weapons, taking the land by force. They brought outsiders to serve their needs. Now, the natives feel this is no longer their land — it belongs to landlords with no roots here, no ties to the people, and no conscience.

  11. Anwar's force remark was about Taiwan-China, not Sabah or Sarawak; he stated he would use force to prevent Malaysia's breakup in a geopolitical context, then clarified he prefers peace.

  12. The Golden Son of The Kadazan documents Sabah's Double Six tragedy and indigenous leadership. Banned in 1978 without justification. Petition calls for lifting censorship, restoring historical access, and upholding freedom of expression and religious liberty.

  13. Banned in 1978 for criticising forced conversions, central government overreach in Sabah, and the Double Six plane crash politics. Officially prohibited but available digitally via Internet Archive, Scribd, and overseas libraries.

    #Sabah's Ferret Badger Found Nowhere Else on Earth
    A collaborative study between the University of #Oxford’s #Wildlife #Conservation Research Unit (#WildCRU) and local orgs has provided the most comprehensive assessment to date of the endangered Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti).

    funny the release doesn't mention the Sabah dam project: theedgemalaysia.com/node/802400

  19. Checking the #iNaturalist records for Australian #PlumeMoths in the genus #Hexadactilia, it seems there is an outlier that doesn't fit either of the two known species:

    inaturalist.ala.org.au/observa

    This is further north than the other known records of the genus from #Australia and has rather different markings. It may well be an #undescribed species. The only other possibility is a third species described from #Sabah in #Borneo, but I can't locate a copy of the relevant paper. It's from a 1995 issue of Entomologische Zeitschrift Frankfurt am Main:

    Arenberger, E. (1995) Eine neue Art der Gattung Hexadactilia Fletcher, 1910 von Sabah. Ent. Z., Frankf. a. M. 105: 138-140

    I've located a copy thanks to Petr Ustjuzhanin. Looking to see if it's a match.

  20. What kind of people is this trying to label or imply the entire demographic as something, triggering those people to respond defensively to the indirect, subtle gaslighting? And then avoiding accountability by acting innocent.

  21. I contributed three weeks of real technical knowledge to a Sabahan dev group. When I responded to an MA63 post, I was called "mentally ill" and mocked with stickers while saying I was in distress. The admin pinned a topic reminder. Everyone who bullied me stayed. I was removed. This is the record.

  22. Today I found six observations in #iNaturalist that include what may well be the only photos ever taken of live many-plume #moths in the genus #Triscaedecia.

    This is a rarely recorded genus for which I accidentally became co-author on a 2019 global revision: researchgate.net/publication/3

    There are six named species, four first described in the 2019 paper.

    The new records include the second known individual of Triscaedecia svetlanae, extending its range from mainland #Malaysia to #Sabah in #Borneo, and the first (five) records of the genus from #Australia (far north #Queensland). The latter are probably Triscaedecia septemdactyla, a species previously recorded from New Guinea and the Bismarck Islands. I need to check the national #insect #collection here in #Canberra to see if there are any existing specimens in the unsorted material.

  24. I feel like I'm tired and have a headache. I don't know why. Maybe because I was drinking more caffeine than my body needs, and I have been looking at and interacting with electronic devices more constantly and for longer than my body is capable of.

  25. 🇲🇾 #Malaysia is poised to become the first country in Southeast Asia 🌏 to have its own space launch facility by 2029, with three potential sites identified in #Pahang, #Sarawak, and #Sabah.

  26. Threaten people to accept Bahasa Melayu or not to live in Malaysia. They forget that there is an Orang Asli language, the indigenous language of Sabah and Sarawak. They don't threaten like that.

  27. Ugut orang supaya menerima Bahasa Melayu atau jangan duduk di Malaysia. Mereka lupa ada bahasa Orang Asli, bahasa pribumi Sabah dan Sarawak. Tiada pula mereka ugut begitu.

  28. : I'm Malaysian
    : So you're Malay?
    : No, I'm of Dusun and Rungus ethnicity
    : What is Dusun and Rungus?

    🤦‍♂️

    The perpetual frustration of clarifying "I'm Malaysian, not Malay" only to be met with "What is Dusun and Rungus?" Malaysian identity is richly diverse, yet many Bornean indigenous ethnicities remain invisible to outsiders. We are more than just one label.

  30. Mahathir: "Malaysia is a M•••y country."

    Orang Asli, Sabahan, and Sarawakian indigenous people: "We are Not A Joke and Should Not Be taken advantage of or taken for granted!"
