8 HUGE lies about Borneo nobody talks about

Come again!

I went to the islands in Semporna last July 2023, it was safe & sound. A family from Germany stayed 3 days & 2 nites in the chalets on an island off Semporna town & they enjoyed themselves there. If you listen too much from the hoax news, you'll missed the chance to experience the fantastic experience of snorkelling watching the sea creatures yrself as you dive.xx

10 pulau tercantik di Sabah Malaysia...10 beautiful islands in Sabah Malaysia. Have a nice day.

Please come to (Kuching) Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia, so can see in ulu menyang, wild orang utan and more cultural traditions and foods…..

You need to try the local friut in Sabah. Buah tarap, buah bambangan. Once eaten forever like it 😂

The truth is Borneo country only Sabah and Sarawak. Malaysia is different. We are borneo not malaysia

Well I lived in area whereas the Orangutan actually lived but not entirely present since Orangutan is a shy animal. Also for Bornean's Orangutan it is called Pongo Pygmaeus but yeah it is divided by 3 sub species ( Sabah's State it is Pongo Pygmaeus Morio).

Too much false information can be obtain if meet with wrong people that asume themselve as tour guide (no licensed)..so be careful next time especially arrive at the airport. (A lot ehailing users will offer severals tour to you with unimaginable price by offline without using apps itself)

Deforestation is definitely a problem in Eastern Malaysia. It usually involving people from the highest level. Politician. That's why it's hard to protect the forest. 😢

Wow.. My home town.. Welcome to Sabah Borneo.. ❤

May you have a wonderful stay..: MALAYSIA BOLEH..!!! 🌷❤️🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾❤️🌷😁💪💪💪💪 💖🌹 ❤️

ofc according to a British, the Bornean foods are amazing :))))

Almost all the big rivers in Sarawak are brown with sendiment, unlike many rivers in Europe or NAmerica.

She did an excellent job with this video. Her comments echo my own experiences in Borneo.

Nice video.. 👍♥

Hey! Sabahan here. Yes everything she said here is correct. Also, you have to go to semporna! It is really worth it, the islands are so beautiful. ❤

No.1 - It's North Borneo. Malaysia does not claim the WHOLE of Borneo. There is no such thing as a malaysian 'mainland' or were you refering to 'Malaya' :)
No.2 - kidnapping happened aeons ago thanks to those pilipin PIRATES but ONLY happens in the East Coast of North Borneo. No piracy in the West Coast because those pilipin pirate's pumpboats wouldn't last that far LOL. To those who are looking forward to pirates please proceed direct to pilipin and you'll get single mom tagalogs as a bonus :)
no.3 - Semporna is a TOWN, which village are you from?????
Finally, wow didn't know clueless tourists like you can find soooooo many things to do in this little state of ours LOL. Pffttt....tourists.

Thanks Claire...

i blame the politicians for the deforestations

MANY LIES DEFAMA
TIONS TO MALAYSIA BY CERTAIN PEOPLE AROUND US BECAUSE OF JELOUSY.

Walcom to malaysia

100,000 Orang Utans? WHAT? there were only about 20,000 in the 1980s, before the massive deforestation.

Sabah has the most tourists from East Asia if you take a tour from an agent because transportation is quite difficult in Sabah

Visiting KK later! :)

Imagine how much deforestation has happened in Europe in the past, that is very sad. We tend to point fingers and look at these Souther nations, while coming from totally destroyed ecosystems ourselves :)

Thanks for visiting Sabah. it is indeed very sad to see the volume plastic bottles floating even around Kota Kinabalu area. The authority should do more about this. And you didn't mention about those kids begging along the streets in KK. It is embarrassing even to us local here. They are the kids of the immigrants from the Philippines. Again our government hasn't done enough to curb this problem.

Environmentalism is very important for Borneo

Borneo looks more tranquil than Bali!

I've been to Sabah about 2 years ago. So different than Peninsular Malaysia. Sabah & Sarawak is full of nature, truly a fantasy world for travel lover, the food. But more surprisingly, borneo people really doesn't look like typical Peninsular Malaysia. Their look more like Asian Japanese & Taiwan combined, even my partner says "are we really still in Malaysia right now?".

Clickbait. Next..

I’ve been pretty much around the world Diving and this was a huge let down we thought perhaps the weather so we stayed an extra few weeks but it’s was sad tbh.
Wanna dive just go to Australia there nothing close to The Great Barrier Reef never ever disappoints yeah it cost more.
Hay if you’re happy with seeing a whole lot of crap in the water and seeing the occasional fishes coral reef shark then you might be happy with this.
i will pay that extra money to see amazing creatures every time.
Then it’s totally worth it if you’ve been Then there nothing to explain for diving it’s the pinnacle.

A very honest and helpful insight. My wife and I are travelling there in a few weeks and love that part of the World. We love the Philippines too but Malaysia is great. Indonesia is not somewhere that attracts me personally, but everywhere is subject to your expectations and own personality. I just want to avoid the sort of unsavoury people who may be inclined to visit the fleshpots of Thailand... not my choice at all.

very nice for video 🤗

Sowing the flag of only one of the three nations in which Borneo is divided clearly demonstrates your expertise

COME TO PAPAR I WILL SHOW YOU MORE

NORTH BORNEO

It's endangered.

BORNEO IS INDONESIA NOT MALAYSIA YOU MUST UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHAT U SAY

Sarawak is the biggest state in Malaysia in Borneo Island and the main exporter of Oil and Gas in Malaysia...

Can I pinch your cheek?

It is worth mentioning that visitors should check their travel insurance. They may not be covered if they are in a cautionary area.

Sabah immigration authorities are shit…
They don’t response at all…

Diving out of Semporna is very good .. have done it on 2 trips. Sipadan diving is simply amazing - does require advanced cert.
We did dive on a site further out where the local Malaysia marines needed to be present on the dive boat (with machine guns ) as a precaution .. but we were fine.

Myth No. 9: less than 100,000 Orang Utans in the wild.

Those here who think of Oil Palm like a 4-letter word clearly do not know how it has helped our economy, in particular raising a lot of people out of poverty. It has allowed them to enjoy some of the things that you take for granted ie. school & education, sanitation, healthcare, etc.... Not everything you see on the internet is accurate or even true.

But the real question is this. Since it was the British & the Dutch that introduced this cash crop, do you think the sector would be any different now if they were still here?

go diving on Lankayan Island if you can afford

Talking about muddy rivers, as far as i have seen since 50plus yrs ago..the rivers particularly in sarawak has been muddy and at that time no deforestation due to timber extraction and oil palm plantations...and right behind my grandparents house is the mighty sarawak river😊

Vegan talk about food 🤣.. im sorry i had to

They produce a good Kratom in Borneo.

Thank you for the briefings on North Borneo! There is indeed much work to be done by conservative authorities. Unfortunately, not much has been accomplished so far. Corruption and careless attitudes have tarnished the once-beautiful Island of Borneo, as you highlighted in your description. I hope your video reaches a receptive and responsible group within the government and among the citizens, inspiring them to restore the island's former beauty and nostalgia!
