Introducing Tambunan

Show mapClose map

Nestled among the green curves of the Crocker hills, Tambunan, a small agricultural service town about 81km from KK, is the first settlement you’ll come to in the range. The region was the last stronghold of Mat Salleh, who became a folk hero for rebelling against the British late in the 19th century. Sadly Salleh later blew his reputation by negotiating a truce, which so outraged his own people that he was forced to flee to the Tambunan plain, where he was eventually besieged and killed.
