Shalom,, today I would share about Kuala Penyu. Kuala Penyu is a town located in Interior Division of Sabah, east Malaysia on the island of Borneo. Its population was estimated to be around 16,511 in 2000, with ethnic Kadazan or Dusun Tatana forming the largest single ethnic group. Kuala Penyu is located on the Klias Peninsula, which was once originally covered with mangrove swamp forests. Much of these mangrove swamps were destroyed by land developers that later realized that the soils were much too acidic to support oil palms. It is administratively divided into three parts namely, Sitompok, Bundu and Menumbok. Kuala Penyu is also famous for its beaches, especially Tempurung beach, Sawangan beach and Sungai Labuan Waterfront. Sungai Labuan, as the name implies was taken from the name of a river flowing in the heart of Kuala Penyu. Looking at religion, it is widely diversified with unrecorded consensus has it that majority are embracing Christianity, while some are still sticking to animism. The name of Kuala penyu also from Sungai Periuk. The shape of Sungai Periuk look like turtle or malay is “ kuala “ and after a years is called by Kuala Penyu until now.
