The road to the Emerald City in the timeless tale of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is paved in yellow – and in the “Sunflower Surprise” floral display, this is creatively reinterpreted as a profusion of sunflowers. Amidst more than 10,000 sunflowers of various shapes and sizes, our heroine Dorothy and her faithful dog Toto find their way to the Wizard’s castle. Along the way, the pair meet allies-turned-loyal friends Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Enhancing the fantastical elements of this enduring story of friendship are unusual sunflower varieties such as the fluffy ‘Teddy Bear’, rich red ‘Earthwalker’ and enormous ‘Uniflorus Giganteus’, which has blooms as large as a human’s face.

The Philippines is a hot country – both humid and dry. That’s why finding out that a sunflower farm has been thriving for years in Albay is quite a surprise. The field is magnificent when the big yellow flowers are in bloom and beaming back on the sun. Visitors are transported to a dreamland, and what more can be asked for when the Mayon Volcano is the backdrop of the vast field. It is picture perfect.

KOTA KINABALU - Tourists are reminded to dress and behave decently when visiting Sabah.

State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Christina Liew said Sabah always welcomes tourists to the state famous for its natural beauty but at the same time they should be mindful of what they wear.

She said she understood that visitors want to feel comfortable on holiday, but they should be aware of cultural sensitivities.

We hope tourists can understand this and not walk around in their underwear,” she said in response to the viral photo showing a woman wearing a pink long sleeve shirt and white bikini bottom in the city recently.

Liew said tour guides should remind their guests on the dos and don’ts in Sabah.

Some of the guidelines are pure common sense.

They are adults,” she said.

The photo of the woman near an eatery at the Asia City complex here had set tongues wagging, with people commenting on her attire on social media.

One man said: “Is Sabah really that hot?

I have to order another iced coffee after seeing her walk past.

Another jokingly responded by saying it was a trend to walk in panties under the hot sun.

Incidences of tourists dressing and acting inappropriately have been reported in the state in the past.

On June 27, two women tourists from China who danced disrespectfully on a fence in front of the city mosque were fined RM25 (S$8.30) each and escorted to the airport to return home.


Tourists have been temporarily barred from visiting the iconic City Mosque here following a viral video of two women acting inappropriately.

What can we do, when we willingly spring to attention at the slightest provocation. It has been known that superheroes also stumbled and succumbed under such tortuous threat. It is advisable for man to flee as the temptation is too powerful to overcome. Warning: Fake version can be even more disastrous.
