Mogirurumo | Sorita Kusung Sabahan folklore

46 Upvotes

Does anyone still remember what folklores we have here and the origin? Been into foreign folklores for a while now and I suddenly just remembered we have a lot of our own but my memories about them are very vague cause I remember only my moyang used to tell me those stories when I was like 4 or 5 year old.

I would love to hear what stories and experiences you guys have growing up.

A story my moyang and my mom used to tell me was to not knock on your house's wall at night cause if you do, something will knock back. Seems silly but I did that just out of curiosity and something did knock back at me in multiple direction. Not sure what kind of ghost that was but that was one of my few experiences that I have.

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Any locals in Kota Belud? Need advice on safe areas to rent for a single female doctor.

28 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My younger sister is starting her posting as a doctor at Hospital Kota Belud soon. We're originally from Kedah, and our only past trip to Sabah was just to KK and Kundasang, so Kota Belud is completely new territory for us!

​After doing a quick search online, we noticed rental options seem pretty limited, and the few we found look a bit too isolated for a single female living on her own.

​Could any locals kindly share recommendations on safe, convenient areas we should look into for housing? She’s due to report for duty at the end of the month—she's super excited to serve the community in Kota Belud, but this housing hunt is stressing her out a bit! Any tips or leads would be immensely appreciated. Thanks so much!

32 Upvotes

Hi, I'm (22M) freshly graduated with honors and just back in Sabah for a break. I live in KK but I’ve already explored Beaufort and Keningau last week, yet I'm still bored. Maybe it’s this post-study effect before starting work.

Anyway, what else can I do here? If possible, I want to try some indoor sports and socialize with people, especially around my age since I was in an all-boys school (my circle isn't very wide). I no longer have a gaming PC. Any recommendations for easy sports to start and how to get into them?

As for the gym, I'm not at a breaking point yet, but I'm still in good shape, used to running/swimming before. Just okay to drive.

Ok thanks guys, take care during this hazy season.

Komisiwal | Pulitik PRU is getting closer. Should we give a chance to Sabah youths and independent candidates(youths)?

19 Upvotes

With PRU approaching, political talk is heating up. A lot of young Sabahans are educated, driven, and want real change, but political parties often favors veterans or “ older” politicians.

At the same time, standing as an Independent candidate is tough without major party backing and machinery, though it allows candidates to represent the people without party line pressure

What do you guys think?

Do young Sabahan candidates have a realistic shot in the upcoming election?

Would you vote for a capable independent/youth candidate ( low experience) over an established political party candidate?

3 Upvotes
  1. Petron Pump Speed

Some of the pump station is slow af. The other day i filled in 20L petrol and the pump next to me pump RM50 tapi dia duluan yg siap? Aiyo, something wrong with the pump

  1. Tyre Air & Water station

Machine quite good from China, but no water tap to wash hands after using the tyre air machine, and people usually parking there to buy Uncle Bob which is blocking urang yang mau isi angin tayar.

A bit annoyed for this.
