KDNK per kapitaTelupid was first settled around 1940s and became the major route for
the Sandakan Death Marches during World War II. At the time, it was mainly inhabited by
the Dusun people.[1] In 1968, as part of the wider Colombo Plan initiative, a major
road begun to be constructed connecting Sandakan to Kota Kinabalu. Dubbed
"Malaysian-Australian Road Project" (MARP), Telupid became the project's main office.
The road was finally completed in 1978, making driving possible between the west and
east coast of Sabah with relative ease. Since then, Telupid has become a major stopover
point for travelers plying the road. From 2017, more development began to be carried
out due to its strategic location in the middle of Sabah and its continued importance as a
stopover point for travelers plying between the coasts of the state.
[2]Tuaran (Malay: Pekan Tuaran) is the capital of the Tuaran District in the West Coast
Division of Sabah, Malaysia. Its population was estimated to be around 128,200 in
2019[1] with half the population consists of ethnic Dusuns, most of the Lotud ethnic
subgroup as well of Bajau descent. The remainder is mostly of the Malaysian
Chinese community, particularly from the Hakka subgroup and Malay. The town is
bordered on three sides by the Tuaran River. It is located 34 kilometres (21 mi) north of
the state capital Kota Kinabalu, and is strategically situated along the main highway
linking Kota Kinabalu with the north of Sabah.
Etymology[edit]
The existence of Tuaran in colonial records can be traced as far back as 1813, in official
letters written by Sir Stamford Raffles, the then British Governor of Java, seeking
permission to accept the Sultan of Brunei's invitation to deal with piracy issues at
'Jawaran' in the north of Borneo.
'Jawaran' is a corruption of the Malay word tawaran. Tawaran has two meanings; the first
meaning is 'fresh water', referring to the importance of the Tuaran area as a source of
freshwater for the locality. The second meaning is 'to bargain', which refers to the
trading activities which had been taking place in the Tuaran area even before British
colonisation commenced in 1884.[2]
Another consideration is Tuaran came from word 'taaran' which mean river
by Dusun ethnic.
