East Malaysia
From World travel guide
East Malaysia (Malaysia Timur) occupies the northern third of the island of Borneo, shared with Indonesia and tiny Brunei. Covered in impenetrable jungle where headhunters roam (on GSM networks if nothing else), East Malaysia is rich in natural resources but very much Malaysia's hinterland for industry and tourism.
See East Coast (Malaysia) for the eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Get around
East Malaysia is large, distances are long and roads are poor. Domestic flights are affordable and by far the fastest way to get around, especially outside the coastal region.
