followed my uncle and a friend of his for 4 days starting from 19th-22nd Oct 2009 to do some testing on radio communication signal around sabah except Kudat or up North Sabah (from Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Tawau, Kalabakan, Tibow, Sepulot, Nabawan, Sook, Keningau, Tenom, Sipitang, Kota Kinabalu then back home to Sandakan).
visited Bukit Silam Lahad Datu, Gunung Andrassy at Tawau (highest point at Tawau if I'm not mistaken), Bukit Gemok Tawau, Sungai Imam Tawau, Maliau Basin at Kalabakan, some rural places like Tibow, Sepulot, Nabawan and Sook and visited a few Forestry Department branches along the way (each branch has its own uniqueness) . Didn't really get a chance to visit inside Maliau Basin and Bukit Gemok maybe later, hope so especially Maliau Basin, I heard the fee is expensive even more than Danum valley. For now, you'll not get any usual communication line signal along Kalabakan road until Keningau or Tawau even up hill Keningau-Sipitang road.
it was great, the view was amazing no words can describe it, see it for yourself if you have the chance and if you do go a.s.a.p because just like my uncle said, it will change soon and it will not the same again. I've seen there were a lot of deforestation for timbers and oil palms especially along Kalabakan road. We might see massive development at that area in the near future.
