Kudat is my lovely home town. This is the place where i live and most memoriable place for me..
Kudat's population (2000) was 68,242. The ethnic composition is mainly Rungus, a sub-group of the indigenous Kadazan. About 10% of the population is ethnic Chinese, and there are minorities of Bajau, Dusun, Murut, Bugis, and Malay. However, there is also a considerable number of unregistered illegal immigrants from the nearby Philippines, notably from the Sulu regions and Mindanao.
The town was founded by A H Everett of the British North Borneo Company on December 7, 1881 to be the first capital of British North Borneo, due to its strategic geographic location. However, after being repeatedly raided by Bajau, Sulu and Illanun pirates, after a couple of years the capital was shifted to the more secure port of Sandakan, on the east coast.
It is not a well known location for foreign visitors, however, there is a notable modern beach resort in the center of the town, Kudat Golf & Marina Resort, offer good foods and accommodation, beside it is the oldest golf club in Borneo, Kudat Golf Club, founded in 1906, a 18 holes par 72 championship course. Other attractions include tours to nearby Rungus longhouses, where traditional brass gongs are made, and where honey is produced and to Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, the northernmost point on the island of Borneo.

Sabah is my birth place. Sabah is a Malaysian state located on the northern portion of the island of Borneo. It is the second largest state in Malaysia after Sarawak, The capital of Sabah is Kota Kinabalu, formerly known as Jesselton. Sabah is known as Sabah, negeri di bawah bayu, which means 'Sabah, land below the wind', because of its location being just south of the typhoon prone region around the Philippines.
We Can Call Sabah as "The Land Under the Breathing".... whose breath? you and me know...
