Thank you,😬 the views are just breathtaking! 🌅

Which part of Malaysia have you been to?

Pretty much all over really...I mean not totally all over, but enough of it to make it a long list of places. My dad was born there and went through the Japanese occupation in world war two. He didn't come to Australia until the mid-1960's.

Is your father a Malaysian? In fact, I grew up not far from Sandakan Memorial Park, the site of the former Japanese base camp where all of their prisoners were kept.

Through an agreement between the Australian government, the Sandakan Municipal Council, and the state government of Sabah, the Sandakan Memorial Park was established.

It was created in honour of every prisoner who lost their life during the Ranau Death March. They even held the yearly Sandakan Memorial Day service last August 15. Have you been here yet?

War history is something I know a lot about so am very familiar with all the theatres of war that Australia served in and have visited many of the battlefields around the world from a world war one and two perspective and in relation to Australia's involvement.

That's cool. I hope one day we can meet if you ever happen to visit Sabah, Malaysia, again. 🙏

It's possible, I'd like to be back in the next couple years.

That's wonderful. 🤗
