Prepare to wave goodbye to the tension, anxiety, and tiredness that has been weighing on your shoulders. After a day of touring and shopping, rest and unwind at one of Kuala Lumpur’s many spas and wellness centres. As the globe moves closer to adopting a health-conscious atti- tude, tourists to the capital city will definitely be delighted with the burgeoning wellness tourism business, which is ranked among Asia Pacific’s top ten. This is unsurprising given that the environs of these peaceful retreats have been created to help guests reach a peaceful but uplifting frame of mind. You’ll look better if you’re healthy, and you’ll feel better if you’re healthy. As a result, beauty and wellbeing refers to the distinction between what is categorised as a “beauty treatment” and what is classified as a “wellness therapy.” It’s all about being at ease in your own skin when it comes to beauty. If you work too hard, don’t get enough sleep, and don’t drink enough water to stay hydrated, your skin might become dehydrated and unhappy. To achieve a balance of outer beauty and inside health, you must carefully select your food, cosmetic treatments, and skin care products.

Medical Tourism in Malaysia Medical tourism can be defined as the process of traveling outside the country of residence for the purpose of receiving medical care. Growth in the popularity of medical tourism has captured the attention of policy-makers, researchers and the media. Originally, the term referred to the travel of patients from less-developed countries to developed nations in pursuit of the treatments not available in their homeland. Malaysia has grown its health tourism industry to become a leading global destination for international patients in Asia and beyond. While the main sources of medical tourism arrivals to the country are the United Kingdom, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Australia, China, India, and the United States, the Medical Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) is actively looking to set up strong market ties with the member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and countries in the Middle East. The MHTC is promoting its 79 hos- pitals to Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, and Middle Eastern countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Malaysia is currently in direct rivalry with Thailand and Singapore, the ASEAN giants in the medical tourism market. Despite the higher availability of cutting-edge equipment and qualified specialists in Singapore, Malaysia is slowly catching up to Singapore as a medical tourism destination. However, Thailand remains a major rival. Malaysia is excellence in Cardiovascular Care and IVF. Malaysia is carving a niche in cardiology and fertility treatments, with more than 33 advanced heart treatment centers in the country, including its renowned National Heart Institute. Its fertility centers also boast of success rates that are well ahead of the global average. Currently, Malaysia is constructing many more centres of excellence like this and utilising cutting-edge technology to provide world-class healthcare. It is on the cusp of establishing itself as a destination of choice for healthcare trips, thanks to its exceptional improvement in the medical tourism environment.

Beyond KL Beyond KL, there are many more wonderful places to explore and fall in love with. Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei Darussalam are the three countries that share the island of Borneo politically. Kalimantan is the Indonesian name for the section of Borneo that covers the majority of the island. It occupies around 73 percent of the island. Meanwhile, Malaysian Borneo, which occupies roughly 26% of the island, and Brunei Darussalam, which only covers a tiny portion of the island, make up the rest of the island. Borneo is home to one of the world’s oldest rainforests! In this special feature of Beyond KL, focus on the Malaysian Borneo states which are The Land Below the Wind (Sabah) & The Hornbill State (Sarawak). Sabah and Sarawak are separated by Brunei. Sabah’s capital is Kota Kinabalu and Sarawak’s capital is Kuching. These two cities act as bases for exploring Borneo’s wild attractions. Some areas of modern-day East Malaysia, particularly the coastal districts, were historically part of the Sultanate of Brunei’s thalassocracy. The majority of the interior region, on the other hand, was made up of separate tribal socie- ties. If you’re looking for tranquilly in the wild, head to Sabah’s Maliau Basin or Sarawak’s Bako National Park; if you’re looking for an island getaway, head to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park or further south to Semporna to swim in crystal clear waters amidst a plethora of marine life; if you’re looking for a blissful harmony of both traditional and modern, Sarawak’s capital city of Kuching will definitely hit those sweet spots.

Sabah Sabah is a Malaysian state in the East Malaysian region, located on the northern tip of Borneo. The Malaysian state of Sarawak to the southwest and Indonesia’s North Kalimantan province to the south share land boundaries with Sabah. The Federal Territory of Labuan is a small island off the coast of Sabah. To the west, Sabah has a marine boundary with Vietnam, while to the north and east, it has a maritime border with the Philippines. Kota Kinabalu is the state capital, the state’s economic hub, and the seat of the state government of Sabah. Sandakan and Tawau are two more significant cities in Sabah. The oldest human habitation in Sabah may be traced back to the Madai-Baturong caves in the Darvel Bay area between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago. Since the 14th century AD, the state has had commercial ties with China. Sabah is ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse. The Governor, also known as the Yang di-Pertua Negeri, is the head of state, while the Chief Minister is the head of government. The government system is based on the Westminster parliamentary system, and it is one of Malaysia’s oldest state legislatures. There are five administrative divisions and 27 districts in Sabah. Although Malay is the national language and Islam is the state religion, other religions may be practised in peace and harmony in any region of the country.

Capital of Sabah: Kota Kinabalu Total Area: 73,631 KM2 Gross Domestic Product (GDP): RM83,970 (2020) Population of Sabah: 3.83 Mil- lion (2021) State Fauna: Orangutan State Flora: Rafflesia

History of Sabah Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei make up the three countries of Borneo. Tribal tribes populated the rivers and beaches on the island’s northeastern peninsula, regularly fight- ing and giving rise to the island’s infamous headhunters. The Sultanate of Brunei, as the governing group, started a politically unified civilisation in the 15th century. Until the late 18th century, when ambitious British sailors arrived on Sabah’s beaches and discovered the huge prospects offered by the region’s natural riches, power was delegated to the Sultan of Sulu, based in the southern Philippines. 1882: The British North Borneo Company was founded, and it managed the peninsula throughout the twentieth century. 1888: Sabah became a protectorate of the United Kingdom. 1942: The woods of Sabah were engulfed in World War II. The Imperial Japa- nese Army conducted a series of Death Marches from Sandakan, in the east, through the highlands to the western slopes of Mount Kinabalu, terminating in Renau, in the west. 1946: Sabah Became the Crown Colony 1963: Sabah joined with Malaysia, Sarawak, and Singapore to form the Federa- tion of Malaysia. 1965: The Federation evicted Singapore, and the newly united country was renamed Malaysia. 1967: The concession of extraction rights to Petronas, the federal govern- ment-owned petroleum firm, was the first major step toward economic growth in Sabah. 1985: The Kadazan indigenous group’s movement, the Sabah United Party, gained traction and joined Malaysia’s ruling coalition, Barisan National. Sabah was ready to take the lead in the country, combining forces against the federal government’s dictates. 1994: Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad adopted the notion of rotat- ing Chief Ministers among Sabah’s three main groupings every couple of years. The rotation system meant that Muslim Bumiputras, non-Muslim Bumi- putras, and Chinese all had a chance to serve as the state’s Chief Minister. 2000: Kota Kinabalu has been declared as Sabah’s capital. 2005: The International Court of Justice declared Ligitan and Sapadan to be part of Sabah in the following years, and the rotation system was abolished. Present Sabah is more than simply a popular tourist destination. It is the result of a mix of educational, economic, and cultural progress. In Sabah, there are twenty-eight institutes of higher education, four of which provide post-gradu- ate programmes.

Col- lecting the skulls of adversaries was a symbol of power and a warning to nearby towns. They were frequently placed at the village’s entrance. A Murut man could not marry until he gave the girl’s family a head.

How to get around Sabah Public Transport In the city centre of Kota Kinabalu, local buses and taxis are available. However, it is recommended and common practise for tour providers to handle the majority of the overland transfers. Car Rental Only in Kota Kinabalu are car rental services accessible. De- pending on your trip demands, the types of cars available for hire range from simple compact sedans to 4 wheel off-road ve- hicles, vans, and buses. If you intend to hire a car, you should make arrangements with tour operators ahead of time. For au- tomobile rental prices, contact Amazing Borneo Tours. Boat and Ferries Jesselton Point, north of Kota Kinabalu, is where the ferry port is located. Ferries to Labuan and afterwards to Brunei depart at the terminal. Between Pulau Sapi, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Sulug, and Pulau Mamutik, express boats travel the short distance between the ferry port and the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park at Pulau Gaya. The ferry port is open everyday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. with the final boat leaving the islands at 4.30 p.m. and the last boat arriving at 5.00 p.m. By Rail Sabah is the only state in Borneo with a railway system. It goes from Kota Kinabalu’s Tanjung Aru railway station to Beaufort and Tenom. It takes less than 2 hours to go to Beaufort, and roughly 5 hours to get to Tenom. Visitors will find the train trip along the Padas River canyon to Tenom particularly intriguing since it provides a refreshing alternative to taking in the sur- roundings. By Plane The busiest airport in Sabah is Kota Kinabalu International Airport, which is second only to Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Travelers may fly directly to Sandakan or Tawau from either Kota Kinabalu International Airport or Kuala Lumpur In- ternational Airport. The following flight schedules to Sandakan and Tawau are recommended.

Heritage & Culture Apart from its indigenous culture, Sabah’s main culture consists of diversified cultures, each of which was brought in by various groups of immigration. Sabah’s population is made up of people of over thirty distinct nationalities and races, with over eighty different languages and dialects. The most striking feature is that all of these tribes coexist and create a single community, each with its own culture, customs, traditions, art, and festivals. Murut, Bajau, Kadazan Dusun, Bisaya, Kadayan, Orang Sungei, Brunei, Rungu, and other indigenous groups in Sabah include Murut, Bajau, Kadazan Dusun, Bisaya, Kadayan, Orang Sungei, Brunei, Rungu, and other subgroups.

Murut means ‘people of the hills,’ and they live in the highlands all the way up to Keningau in central Sabah, but they have never cultivated the plains. Bajau The Bajau were previously regarded as sea gipsies, and they did indeed spend their whole lives on Lipa-lipa boats. They were real nomads, adept at navigating the oceans despite the lack of a compass on their tiny, ornately built boats. Only the Bajau came to land to gather firewood, acquire water, and bury their dead. However, some Bajau have lived on the mainland in recent centuries, notably along Sabah’s west coast.
