Sabah is becoming known as something of a honeymoon hotspot, not least because of its romantic landscapes and some of the world's best sunsets. But its wildlife is also a big draw, and I found it difficult not to fall in love with Borneo's wildlife. This is orangutan island - home to around 22,000 of the endangered species. But to only talk of its orangutans would be to do this corner of Malaysian Borneo a disservice. Here's the animals of Borneo in big pictures.
1931 Scott 186 6c orange red "Orangutan" Quick History If you can tear yourself away from the stunning vignette of the orangutan, you will notice the various scripts on the frame of the stamp. The script found on North Borneo stamps is Jawi (not to be confused with Javanese ), an Arabic alphabet for the Malay language. Of course, English and Chinese script is also there. British North Borneo The North Borneo Chartered Company administered the state by having the native chiefs manage at the grassroots level, while the British authorities held the head posts. 1939 Scott 196 4c rose violet 7 olive green "Proboscis Monkey" Into the Deep Blue This blog post, the second, is a continuation of a review of the lovely, mostly bi-colored stamps of North Borneo. A closer look at the stamps and issues 1931 Scott 185 3c blue green "Murut" The Murut, meaning "hill people", are an ethnic tribal group, who were among the last to give up headhunting. Collecting heads of enemies was an important part of Murat cultural practices. If one wished to be married, one was required to present at least one head to the girl's family. It gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase, "Head of the Household". ;-) 1931 Scott 187 10c carmine "Dyak" The Dyak (or Dayak) were a native people of Borneo, and the some 200 subgroups all spoke dialects of the Dayak language. They initially practiced Animism, a belief that animals and plants possess a spiritual core. 1939 Scott 193 1c red brown & dark green "Buffalo Transport" In 1939, a 15 stamp bi-colored issue was produced with interesting portrayals and scenes, as above. CV is $1+-$3+ for seven stamps. 1945 Scott 209 2c Prussian blue & red violet BMA = "British Military Administration" "Palm Cockatoo" Japanese forces occupied North Borneo between 1942-1945. With liberation (by the Australians), the country was placed under British Military Administration until the restoration of government in 1946. A 15 stamp issue was released in 1945 overprinted "BMA" in black. 1947 Scott 230 12c ultramarine & green Overprinted on 1939 Scott 200 "Murut with Blowgun" A 15 stamp issue was created in 1947 by placing bars over "British Protectorate" and "The State of". That is because the North Borneo Chartered Company was no longer administering North Borneo. In fact, in 1946, the lands, along with Labuan, became the Crown Colony of British North Borneo. Only in 1963 was North Borneo granted self-government. And then, it was to join the Federation of Malaysia. 1916 Semi-Postal Scott B4 4c dull red "Meeting of the Assembly" A 13 stamp semi-postal issue was produced in 1916 to help raise funds for the WWI wounded and veteran's survivors. But two-thirds of the shipment was lost from London to Sandakan, as the transport was sunk by a submarine. Postally used specimens are rare. 1918 Semi-Postal Scott B15 2c + 2c green "Traveler's Palm" A 17 stamp semi-postal issue was released in 1918 for the benefit of the Red Cross. Actually not a true palm, but a member of the bird-of-paradise family, the sheaths of the stems could hold rainwater, and then serve as a drinking supply for travelers. 1918 Semi-Postal Scott B39 12c + 4c deep blue "Palm Cockatoo" An additional 17 stamp semi-postal issue was surcharged for the Red Cross in 1918. 1901 Postage Due Scott J13 4c deep rose & black "Orangutan" A nine stamp postage due issue was released in 1901 by overprinting the 1897-1900 set.
