@AskSabah_Girl Hi Sabah Girl, I am fully vaccinated and currently in transit to hike Kinabalu via KLIA2. The AirAsia staff here are insisting that Sabah requires an RTK-Antigen for me to enter the state. They are incorrect, right? Can you please confirm?

@sabahtourism From our 2018 hike... approaching the summit at sunrise. Great experience and hoping to come back soon!

@SST3D @CoconutCowboy_ @RichardBarrow @ThaiNewsReports About the 72 hour window change, do you have a link to this information? I thought flights could be changed to an earlier date, but if not, then this would be very helpful to know.

@divedownbelow Roger is awesome -- he did an amazing job leading me and my 12 year old daughter to the summit two years ago. Looking forward to returning this October to do the same with my son! Hopeful travel restrictions for foreigners into Malaysia will be lifted by then🤞
