Proudly 'consider' yourself as a Sabahan if...

• You feel "obligated" to reach the top of Mount Kinabalu at least once in a lifetime...

• You know where to get your candles and torch light quickly in the total darkness (due to training by frequent blackouts)

• You know what "Aramaitiee!!" means...

• You doubt whether someone's MyKad is real or fake one...

• You come across a supposedly local person but with a very foreign accent...

• You cannot vote in an election because someone has voted on behalf of you...

• You can say and fully understand these words....
