Kota Kinabalu (Capital City)

Kota Kinabalu, formerly known as Jesselton, is the city capital of Sabah as well as the capital of the West Coast Division of Sabah. Strategically situated in the Northwest Coast of Borneo Island, facing the South China Sea and Tunku Abdul Rahman Park on one side, and set against the backdrop of Mount Kinabalu; this beautiful ‘Nature Resort City’ stretches for miles along the coast and towards the inland.

Dilwara Temples, Mount Abu

The Jain Dilwara temples of India are located about 2½ kilometers from Mount Abu, Rajasthan's only hill station. These temples dating back from the 11th to the 13th century AD are world famous for their stunning use of marble. The five legendary marble temples of Dilwara are the sacred pilgrimage of the Jains. They are an overwhelming blend of simple beauty and exquisite elegance. The marble temples have an opulent entranceway. The simplicity in architecture verily reminds one that Jainism as a religion "encouraged honesty and frugality". The temples reside amidst mesmerizing surroundings of mango trees and wooded hills. A high wall, shimmering luminous in the sunlight, shrouds the temple complex. Although the Jains built some beautiful temples at other places in Rajasthan but none come close to these in terms of architectural perfection. The ornamental detail spread over the minutely carved ceilings, doorways, pillars and panels is simply marvellous and has to be see

Australian attack

The recent attacks on Indian students have thrust the issue of racism in Australia into the mainstream news bulletins. The Indian government has protested, the Indian media has expressed. And the Australian media toyed with the notion that perhaps there are elements of racism in this country.Of course Australia is racist. It is still viewed by mainstream Australia as wrong, so it is practised with some guilt and in polite company circumspection. It was there for all to see with the crude sledging engaged in during the last Australian cricket tour of India.In not so polite society racism is blatant. It was a good decision to not accept the Australian honor being bestowed upon Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Celina Jaitley. At least they care about our country and our fellow countrymen. What is the Australian Government doing about it? In fact the attacks have increased. If the Australians do not want to appoint Indians in their companies and do not want to impart education to us, we too dont n

Sabah has the world's tallest tropical tree   EVERYONE knows that the tallest trees in the world belong to the Coastal Redwoods of California, which can tower more than 100m (over 350 feet) into the sky! These trees do not occur in Sabah, but did you know that the tallest tropical rainforest tree in the world is a Borneo dipterocarp? And not just any dipterocarp but one that grows right in our own backyard in Sabah's Tawau Hills Park! The lowlands of Borneo were once covered from coast to coast by towering dipterocarp forests. There are at least 270 species in Borneo, all having winged shuttlecock fruits, typical of the dipterocarp family, that twirl like helicopters when dispersed by the wind. While dipterocarps are found across South-east Asia, Borneo is (or was) their kingdom. Years ago, I remember walking through a logging concession before the trees were felled - one of the most magnificent forests I have ever seen. The huge buttressed trunks with their mass
