Malaysia highlights, my favorite part of our journey

Horsfield’s / Western Tarsier (Cephalopachus bancanus) during our night walk at the Rainforest Discovery Centre:) on the first day of our trip. This tarsier occurs on Borneo, Sumatra and nearby islands. The uniquely large eyes in proportion to its small body does make it look like an alien 👽 or Gremlin.

These nocturnal primates are only about 12cm for males, and very agile leaping from trunk to trunk with their elongated hind limbs. A fully carnivorous primate that preys on insects, lizards, snakes and even birds and bats.

Second and third are juvenile's photos :)

Sandakan adalah destinasi terbaik dan diperakui pelancongan antarabangsa namun kurang diberi perhatian pelancong Malaysia.

Walaupun begitu, sejak kebelakangan ini pelancong yang mencintai alam sudah mula meneroka pakej-pakej percutian di Sandakan dan kawasan sekitarnya.

Sandakan, Philippines or Sandakan, Malaysia?

Before everything turns bloody, I just want to clear things out, this is just a feature content not a ruling as to who should own what. Today, we will feature Sandakan, North Borneo, a progressive city in the state of Sabah. Photos of the city have been circulating online and created a wildfire of discussion with not-so-polite comments section. The post came from a Facebook Page ASEAN Skyline…

Kinuyo Tanaka in Sandakan 8 (Kei Kumai, 1974) Cast: Komaki Kurihara, Kinuyo Tanaka, Yoko Takahashi, Takiko Mizunoe, Ken Tanaka. Screenplay: Sakae Hirosawa, Kei Kumai, based on a book by Tomoko Yamazaki. Cinematography: Mitsuji Kanau. Production design: Takeo Kimura. Music: Akira Ifukube Kinuyo Tanaka was one of the world's greatest actresses, celebrated particularly for her work with Kenji Mizoguchi in The Life of Oharu (1952), Ugetsu (1953), and Sansho the Bailiff (1954), and she gives a heartbreaking performance in one of the last films she made before her death in 1977, Sandakan 8. She plays Osaki, an elderly woman who was sold into prostitution as a girl, servicing overseas Japanese in brothels in what's now Malaysia. In the film she tells her story to a young woman, Keiko Mitani (Komaki Kurihara), who is researching the history of the karayuki-san, women who were sent throughout the South Pacific to work as prostitutes. We see Osaki's life in flashbacks in which she's played beautifully by Yoko Takahashi. Osaki struggles at first against the life she has been forced into, but eventually gives in to the reality of her situation. Still, once the practice of selling girls for overseas prostitution is ended by the Japanese government and Osaki is able to return home, she finds herself the object of scorn. Even in old age, living in a shack on the outskirts of a town, she is looked down upon by her neighbors because of her past. When Keiko first visits her, Osaki tries to pass her off to the neighbors as her daughter-in-law from Kyoto. (After her first return to Japan, Osaki went to Manchuria, where she married and had a son. He sends her money, but his wife has never visited and seems determined to have nothing to do with her.)  Sandakan 8 tells a compelling story without excessive sentimentality or sensationalism. It drifts occasionally into clichés, as when Osaki falls in love with a shy young man who loses his virginity with her and promises to return when he's made enough money to buy her out of prostitution, but eventually he betrays her when he finds her exhausted after servicing a pack of randy sailors that has swarmed into the brothel after their ship came to port. But the rapport that develops between Osaki and Keiko is splendidly portrayed, as is Keiko's determination to make the story of the karayuki-san known in a country that would prefer to keep it an unknown episode in Japan's history.
