Sabah occupies a relatively small chunk of Borneo, yet packs a punch: turquoise-fringed de-sert islands with coral reefs swarming with marine biodiversity; trekkers’ paradise Mt Kinabalu reaching into the clouds; and jungles pulsing with bug-eyed tarsiers, gibbons, pythons, clouded leopards and huge crocs.
