Kota Kinabalu: Working in the midst of Sabah’s untouched forests is no easy feat but for Simun Limbawang, head of the Inobong substation in Penampang, it is all in a day’s work.
This substation is among the eight located in various parts of the state’s largest terrestrial park Crocker Range Park, which spreads over 46,500 hectares of forested land across eight districts and is managed by Sabah Parks. The park’s main station is located in Keningau.
Simun, 57, who has been in charge of the substation since 2017, said the Inobong substation started operating in 2003 as an information and research centre in the northern part of the Crocker Range Park, with 27.4 percent of the park under its jurisdiction.
