Did you know that you can also go on a walking holiday in Malaysia? Head to Sabah to join The Sandakan-Ranau Death March tour, a 140km journey that follows part of the Sandakan Death Marches trail.
The Sandakan Death Marches occurred during World War II, between January and August 1945. It is regarded as one of the worst atrocities ever suffered by Australian and British Allied forces in Borneo. The march resulted in the deaths of 2,434 Allied prisoners-of-war, who were held captive by Japan at the Sandakan POW Camp in North Borneo (now Sabah).
