Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary is a private sanctuary founded by a plantation owner to protect the rare monkeys. It is located south of Sandakan. The proboscis monkeys, called orang belanda (Dutchman) in Malay, is renowned for their unusual appearance, particularly their big nose that make them look just like humans. At the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, visitors can see the monkeys being fed twice a day, once at 11:30 am and again at 4:30 pm. The monkeys are given a meal of sugar-free pancakes. Often joining the feast are uninvited macaques.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
