Nusantara Heritage
Set out to capture memorable moments of the traditional dances from around the regions of South-east Asia but, in the event, ended up shooting the models of a fashion show. Well, don’t blame me! There was no programme schedule as is the norm practised widely in Sabah. Missed all the good ones, which were [...]

The Road Leading to China
There is this quaint little town in Kinarut bypassed by almost everyone travelling on the Pan Boreno Highway. It was a sleepy little village town with a slow pace of life just a few years back. It is now undergoing a fast-paced development transformation with housing estates springing up all over [...]

Reaching for the Sky!
Commonly seen in Sabah, the Great Egrets (Ardea alba) are now assembling in great numbers around the coasts of Kota Kinabalu. Could it be that the breeding season is near?
