Description: This Kundasang Memorial Garden was built and funded in the late 1950s by the people of Sabah and local expatriates, many of whom has several with the Allied forces during the war. It was dedicated to "those men and women of all races who gave their lives for and in Borneo during the war'. The terraced construction symbolises each of the nations involved in the struggle: Britain, Australia and North Borneo (Sabah). This site was selected as here, in the shadow of Mt. Kinabalu, many of the prisoners of war perished and, according to the local custom, the cloud enshrouded mountain harbours the souls of all those who have died.
