With the reopening of tourism activities, many have planned outings with their family, such as going off-grid to explore Kiulu, a rural subdistrict known for its nature and serene river.
Part of the bigger Tuaran district, Kiulu is located about 60km from the state capital.
Sheq Min Chu, 60, from Kampung Lakut Papar, said this was the first time her family have gone on a trip after being confined to their homes for almost two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic and movement control orders (MCO).

“We have been planning a family picnic and we are excited to finally meet our loved ones.
“We chose to explore Kiulu because of its beautiful nature and fresh environment,” she said, adding that her family and relatives are planning other trips to rural districts.
Like Min Chu, 48-year-old Khalid Bidin said he plans to fill up his family’s weekends by exploring the many nearby picnic and camping sites outside the city area.
“Our picnic at Minurod Campsite is our third outing since cross-district travel was allowed.
“I had been really looking forward to doing family activities as my wife and children had been staying home with nothing much to do during the MCO,” he said.

Sabah allowed inter-district travel from Oct 14 and will open its borders for interstate travel on Nov 1.
Recently, Sabah tourism, culture and environment assistant minister Joniston Bangkuai visited the campsite to check on tourism activities in the area and greet picnic-goers.
Bangkuai, who is also Sabah Tourism Board (STB) chairman, said the green light for inter-district travel and the reopening of tourism as well as interstate travel were positive developments for Sabah to move forward from the pandemic.

“The ministry and STB remain dedicated to reviving rural tourism activities and promoting rural and community-based tourism.
“We continue to encourage people to visit rural destinations to help empower the rural community,” said Bangkuai, who is also Kiulu assemblyman. - FMT
