Volcano in Malaysia?

My geography teacher taught me that Malaysia has no volcano . I just found a fact that Malaysia does have a volcano and its name is BOMBALAI, located in southern part of Sabah. You can find the fact here... Malaysia Volcano. I do not know how far it is true. I have never been to Sabah. Only Sabahan can confirm the fact. However I have checked the longitude and latitude (4.40° N 117.88° E) and found this image...(the image is available at google map)...

This information was really giving me a shock and can't you all see the advantage of the internet in knowledge dissemination?. I really support the MOE's effort on strengthening our Smart Schools and promoting IT savvy among teachers. Go on MOE. Ignore the criticisms that say "technology doing no good for human being, human can do more great things than computers". But they forget the fact that computer is one of the great things that human has invented.

I just surfed the wikipedia to find out something about volcano. Why I looking for volcano; I will write about it in my next post. This piece of information really grabbed my attention and made me to write about it first.


A teacher without internet in this millennium onwards, is like Aladdin without his magic carpet which he used for showing Princess Jasmine how the world looks like. (Cikgu Farish)

Hi, I can confirm it's true that this is the only Volcano in Malaysia. I used to live not so far from this place - Bombalai.
