Tawau- the gateway to paradise islands of Sabah.

Tawau the most eastern city of Malaysia
and the gateway to the beautiful islands off Semporna, Sabah.
The only city in east Malaysia to have been under the rule of the Dutch East India Company
before it was handed to the British North Borneo Chartered Company
after an agreement was reached with the Dutch in 1890.
A city depending mainly on agriculture, fishery
and lately prawn farming which begins to dot the coastline.

    Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
