IN the July issue we introduced readers to golf in the central region of Malaysia, in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Selangor, an area combining urban sprawl, old-world charm and tropical rainforests.
This month we shift the focus to East Malaysia, which lies in the island of Borneo.
East Malaysia is where nature and adventure come alive, sweeping visitors away to a mesmerising, intriguing world. Borneo comprises two states, Sabah and Sarawak, as well as Labuan, a federal territory.
The region is characterised by vast expanses of rainforest, mist-capped mountains and majestic UNESCO World Heritage sites. Featuring untouched wilderness, innumerable varieties of plants flourishing together with a wide range of birds and animals, East Malaysia is home to countless ethnic groups, practicing age-old customs and fascinating rituals.
It is also a region offering world class golf clubs and resorts that deliver first class service, with wonderfully designed and meticulously maintained golf courses.
