Update 2025/2026: Malaysia opened its international borders on 1 April 2024. You can check out Malaysia’s official travel website before heading there. My guide to Malaysia e-visa for Indians will be helpful in planning a trip there.
An Adventure to the Kinabatangan River in Sabah, Borneo
Once upon a time, there was a long river muddy, Along the bank of the river lived the mama elephant Lily, On the top of a Jamun tree lived a monkey funky with a long nosey, A naughty crocodile waited under the tree to see the monkey fall loosey. A talkative hornbill nested in the tree, While her friend the orange orangutan visited her often for tea, The village children played on the riverbank every day, while their mothers shouted to them come home, otherwise the monkey will take you away.
If you hadn’t guessed, this is a story inspired by real characters. I wrote it on the Kinabatangan river cruise in Sabah, Borneo, while on my month-long trip to Malaysia.
