		<title>What is the Cheapest Way to Semporna from the New Tawau Airport?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
If you&#8217;re a backpacker, saving cost and finding the cheapest the way to travel are your highest priorities. Here&#8217;s one of the most asked questions by travellers planning to go to Semporna: what is the cheapest way to get there from Tawau airport?

Since the new airport is located 33km from Tawau&#8217;s town centre and 1/4th of the way to Semporna, there isn&#8217;t really a direct way to get to Semporna from the airport except by Taxi. A taxi may cost you around RM100-150.
If time is not an issue then you ...]]></description>

Tawau-Tarakan flight used to operate many years ago by now defunct Bouraq Indonesia. Currently, the only way to get to Tarakan from Tawau is through boat or ferry via Nunukan in ...]]></description>

Tawau produces a lot of national and international talents but they are rarely being recognized. I hope that will change soon. Here&#8217;s an interview of award winning artist from Tawau Bayu Utomo Radjikin with TheSundaily which was published online on November 18, 2011.

MALAYSIAN figurative artist Bayu Utomo Radjikin has  had his work exhibited in the United States, Britain, Austria, India and  elsewhere. The award winning artist tells theSun there is an urgent need to take our art outside Malaysia.

		<title>Australia&#8217;s Orion Expedition Cruises Making Tawau as Port of Call for &#8216;Across the Wallace Line&#8217; Cruise with Orion II Ship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Over the past few years, Borneo is becoming a popular destination for Australian travellers particularly Sabah. Just recently, Australia&#8217;s Orion Expedition Cruises had made Tawau as their first port of call for &#8216;Across the Wallace Line&#8216; Cruise of East Borneo.

The cruise is named after English naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who travelled and researched here in the 19th century and whose work prompted Charles Darwin to publish his theory of evolution.

For many Tawau folks this is an untold piece of history despite the fact that there&#8217;s a place called Wallace Bay ...]]></description>

		<title>Lonely Planet Rated Bukit Gemok Virgin Forest as No. 1 Attraction in Tawau, Borneo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Lonely Planet had recently rated visiting Bukit Gemok virgin forest reserve as the number 1 &#8216;things-to-do&#8217; in Tawau.
&#8220;Bukit Gemok is located about 10km from Tawau town centre, it&#8217;s a fantastic park sitting on 445 hectares of protected land. Developed in the early 1990s, the jungle here has only recently become popular with trekkers, Hash runners and tour groups – many consider it to be far better than the trails around Poring Hot Springs,&#8221; as described by Lonely Planet.
You can easily find Bukit Gemok on Google maps and the borders are ...]]></description>

		<title>Shark Hunting will be Banned and Become Illegal in Sabah by Early 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Shark hunting is expected to be illegal in Sabah by early next year, according to State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun.

He said his ministry was ready with the appropriate paperwork to seek a total ban on all forms of shark hunting in the state.
&#8220;Our request is simple. We are not insisting that it (the ban) should cover the whole country, but only in Sabah.&#8221;
&#8220;We would like the Fisheries Act to incorporate a provision, whereby all forms of shark hunting or shark finning are prohibited in Sabah.&#8221;
