Tamu in Sabah

Tamu Kudat

Recently I have visited Kudat and enjoy the beautiful view of Tip Of Borneo and Rashid Explanded. I have stopped at Matunggung town and look at the old and new building of it small town. Matunggong was a famous place for the Rungus for selling their product. Tamu is a place where we can sold and buy product whether made by factory or own hand. Tamu were really famous around Sabah and usually this activity happen at every major and small town in Sabah. There are a lot of Tamu around Sabah such as Tamu Kudat, Kota Belud, Ranau, Tuaran, Tamparuli and so forth. More information about Tamu in Sabah will be display later.

The tamu (market) in Kudat

is a great opportunity to discover local produce and unique handicrafts. The tamu is a flurry of sights, sounds and smells, bustling with traders and buyers hoping to get a good bargain! In Kudat, the tamu is known for its local-grown vegetables, dried fish, tropical fruits and edible seaweed.

Be sure to check out the Rungus handicraft, particularly their intricate beaded work and handwoven Tinohian cloth. When in Kudat, make a trip to Tanjung Simpang Mengayau , The Tip of Borneo. This is the meeting point of the South China and Sulu seas, with a rich historical and cultural background. The dramatic vista of the endless sea and blue skies will take your breath away.

Tamparuli set for tourist inflow

Tourist Attraction at Tamparuli Sabah.

10 October 2009, " Links - Click Here "

TAMPARULI: Located some 36km from Kota Kinabalu, Tampa­ruli is set to soar into international tourism following the launch of a paragliding adventure. State Youth and Sports Assistant Minister Datuk Jahid Jahim said: “Once the sport takes off, it will benefit the local community in job and business opportunities, besides boosting Sabah’s tourism industry.”

Jahid, who is also Tamparuli assemblyman, said the area had high potential for paragliding activities.“This is good for Tamparuli as the sport will benefit locals,” he said after launching the event here recently.Also present was Korean Paragliding Association president Kim Dong Sul, had been here several times to conduct trial runs for the paragliding activities.

The activities are operated by Borneo Air Sport Ozone Adventures, with the takeoff on the 1,000m Bukit Ruhiang, while the flat land beside Tamparuli Cultural House near the town has been marked out as the landing site.“I was informed that there are about 250,000 paragliders in South Korea and about six million worldwide.“If we can get just 10,000 of them to come to Sabah, it will be a shot in the arm for tourism here,” Jahid noted.

He said there were plans to promote activities such as white-water rafting to tap the sub-district’s potential as a tourism site.To a question on infrastructural development, Jahid said that paragliding required minimal costs while providing maximum impact in terms of tourism to the local economy.He expressed confidence in the sport as youths craved for challenges and an adrenalin rush.Meanwhile, Kim said that Sabah had suitable hills and mountains like Bukit Ruhiang for paragliding.Borneo Air Sport Ozone Adventures chief operations manager Bruce Patrick Soimil, who has known Kim for three years, hoped to bring international paragliding competitions to Tamparuli next year.

Meanwhile, Sungai Kiulu in the district is gaining attention as a tourism destination because of its crystal clear water and rapids, making it suitable for extreme sports. The Kiulu 4M Challenge is held here every year with participants from all over Malaysia converging to watch or participate in activities like running, bamboo-rafting, swimming with bamboo and walking on bamboo stilts.

Due to the encouraging response, the Sabah government has listed the event in the state tourism calendar and put Kiulu on the world tourism map. — Bernama

My Beloved Tamparuli Sabah

Tamparuli - Green Technologhy MINAT....Wilfred mendengar penuh minat penerangan Nasarullah. KESUNGGUHAN Ahli Parlimen Tamparuli, Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing menerokai bidang pertanian begitu terserlah dan memilih untuk menjayakan visi pengstrukturan semula KementerianTenaga, Air dan Komunikasi  kepada nama baru Kementerian Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air . Sejajar dengan dasar Kerajaan menggalakkan penghasilan teknologi hijau, Wilfred telah memilih untuk turun ke ladang bersama rakyat Tamparuli dengan mempelopori penanaman Jatropha Curcas (Jarak Pagar) secara intensif dan berskala komersil. “Kita harus lebih serius mengusahakan projek yang berdaya maju seperti Jatropha ini kerana tidak memerlukan modal yang besar dan boleh dijalankan seisi keluarga tanpa melibatkan tenaga kerja asing,” kata Wilfred ketika merasmi Majlis Seminar Penanaman Jatropha Secara Komersil di Tenghilan baru-baru ini. Kata Wilfred, untuk berdaya maju, petani sara diri harus mempelbagaikan tanaman mereka termasuk tanaman komersil yang memberi hasil dalam masa yang singkat dan mempunyai pasaran hadapa yang cerah. “Kita tidak lagi boleh terlalu bergantung kepada kerajaan untuk mencipta peluang, sebaliknya kita sendiri menggunakan ruang dan peluang untuk bersaing secara sihat untuk menghasilkan pelbagai komoditi utama termasuk minyak Jatropha,” ujar Wilfred yang menggesa rakyat Tamparuli agar melupakan kegagalan projek mereka yang lalu dan menumpukan usaha untuk memajukan projek penanaman Jatropha ini secara serius. Masa untuk menghitung kesusahan, kata Wilfred kini telah berlalu dan tiba masanya bagi rakyat Tamparuli menceburi industri agropolitan secara glokal melalui penanaman Jatropha di tanah mereka yang terbiar kerana ia merupakan perusahan keluarga yang bersaiz komersil. “Dengan sumber minyak yang semakin berkurangan, keputusan kerajaan menubuhkan Kementerian Tenaga, Teknologi  Hijau dan Air merestui usaha kita menanam Jatropha sebagai persediaan untuk menghadapi krisis ekonomi dan minyak di masa hadapan,” ujar  Wilfred di majlis yang dianjurkan bersama Persatuan Kontraktor Gugusan Sahabat (KOGUSA).    TEKUN.... Wilfred  dan peserta tekun mendengar ceramah yang disampaikan Juruperunding Adli Ayob. Penerokaan penanaman Jatropha yang dipakejkan dengan penghasilan baja organik yang dikeluarkan di kilang baja di Tuaran akan memberi pulangan yang menguntungkan kepada semua peserta. Tegas Wilfred, pihaknya telah menubuhkan Koperasi yang mempunyai lebih 1,000 ahli dan akan menjalinkan kerjasama bestari dengan KOGUSA untuk membuka Ladang Jatropha secara komersil dalam waktu yang terdekat melalui projek estet mini. Memandangkan Jatropha begitu mudah ditanam dan dikomersilkan, maka Wilfred yakin Tamparuli akan menjadi pembekal Jatropha utama dalam masa sepuluh tahun akan datang. Di majlis tersebut, Wilfred turut menyampaikan sepuluh pokok induk Jatropha kepada setiap peserta perintis yang akan memulakan projek sulung di tanah mereka sendiri sementara menunggu Tapak Semaian di Kampung Lepasan, Tamparuli mengeluarkan benih yang bermutu untuk tanaman secara komersil. Wilfred juga turut memberikan sebungkus baja organik kepada setiap peserta yang mendapat anak benih Jatropha melalui program satu desa satu industri.    SIMBOLIK.... Wilfred (kanan) sedang menyampaikan anak pokok Jatropha kepada salah seorang peserta. Dalam pada itu, Presiden Kogusa, Nasarullah Dollah ketika berucap di majlis berkenaan memaklumkan bahawa pihaknya sedia membeli hasil dan menawarkan khidmat nasihat kepada peserta. “Kita akan membuka tapak semaian dan kilang di setiap daerah bagi memastikan petani memperolehi benih yang bermutu dan memproses segera hasil mereka,” ujar Nasarullah yang mempelawa para peserta melawat ladang Jatropha mereka di Kunak dan Pulau Sibatik. Nasarullah memuji komitmen Wilfred memajukan rakyat Tamparuli dan menyifatkan mereka beruntung kerana mempunyai pemimpin berjiwa rakyat seperti Wilfred. “Kesungguhan YB adalah modal paling besar untuk menjayakan projek ini,” kata Nasarullah yang mempelawa wakil rakyat lain mencontohi kepimpinan Wilfred yang meletakkan keutamaan kepada kepentingan dan masa hadapan rakyat. Kata Nasarullah, aman mengejar projek pembangunan sudah lama berlalu dan kini tiba masanya rakyat membuat projek besar mengikut kemampuan mereka sendiri seperti penanaman Jatropha yang akan memberi pulangan yang menguntungkan.    DEMONSTRASI....Wilfred sedang menunjukkan cara menanam anak Jatropha.    BAJA....Wilfred turut menyerahkan sekampit baja organik kepada salah seorang peserta.
