Summary

[edit]
Description I'd passed this village on stilts several times over the past few days: from the airport, on my rounds, to and from the Kinabantangan River etc. I though this was the famous Kampung Buli Sim Sim, which is the site of the original village of Sandakan. Sadly no. This rather squalid water village is actually a squatter colony, a slum. Now I don't like to take pictures of humans in not so ideal conditions. At any rate, slums can sometimes be full of ruffians who can rough you up to extract some money out of you saying photography there is forbidden etc. So I stayed as close to the car as possible and shot off a few frames of this not too good looking, rather squalid slum on the water, taking care not top point my camera at anyone in particular.
