In Kampung Terian, the residents keep to their daily routine of farming and tending to their livestock. FMTNews Covid19 Malaysia Sabah

Peaceful, quiet and beautiful, Kampung Terian residents do not really feel the strains of the movement control order as those in urban areas.

They are, of course, not oblivious to the goings-on outside their area as they keep themselves up to date with the latest information on Covid-19 and the MCO. A newly put up “no entry” signboard by the roadside greets anyone coming into the village which, under different circumstances, is always known to be warm and welcoming to its guests.

The sign says outsiders, including government agency workers and volunteers, are not allowed into the Ulu Papar settlements, which house Kampung Terian and other villages like Buayan, Longkogungan and Pongobonon.The only way to get there is through a narrow dirt road and hilly terrain, with jungles on either side. There are also two rivers to cross, which become impassable in the rainy season.

“We do need sugar, salt, cooking oil and other essentials, which sometimes go short. When supplies are low, we choose two or three among us to go out to Donggongon to buy them. He said some villagers who work in bigger towns have returned. “They say it’s better to be back in the village than to be in town, which they find distressing.”
