Sandakan Mosque

Sandakan Mosque - completed in 1988, it lies next to the bay and Kampung Buli Sim Sim.

From left : hearing sermon after the eidul-adha prayers; mass traffic after the prayer finished. Guess we'll be here for sometimes

Constitutional crisis, greedy-power, selfish, economic recession etc. Guess it is never-ending problem that haunted human-being. At least the All-Mighty Creator has given us guidance to sail through this unpredictable ocean. But human are too arrogant, didn't bother about this divine help - yet, till they have suffered enough.

We're lucky that in Malaysia most people are still hold strong with their religion believes. Even it's one of our 'Rukun Negara' and the number one - to believe in God (Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan). It's mean that people who're disbeliever is not a part of this country!

St Michael's and All Angels Church - this beautiful granite church was built in 1897 and was one of Sandakan's few surviving pre-war buildings.

I admit that I never been to other church in Malaysia except several overseas. This church so beautiful resembles the old English architecture. Worth to visit.

Sabah, the Land below the Wind - blessed with their multi-ethnicity and - religion. With difference ethnic, language and religion - Sabahan still able to live peacefully among others. Somehow I wonder why do we have problems related to our differences in Peninsular compared with our brothers in Borneo. We do experienced it physically and mentally though.

May be what do we all need to do is - soul searching ...

Puu Jih Shih Buddhist Temple - completed in 1987, this fiery red and gold temple overlooks the town centre.

Interior part of the temple with several tools that used for the prayer.
