SEJARAH NORTH BORNEO SABAH SPECIAL EDITION

A Short Story of a local woman named "Aen" during the Second World War  in Sabah , North Borneo

We wish to share a short story of a Japanese accounts during the Second World War in Sabah, North Borneo from the eye of a local woman named Aen @ Yamasaki Aen, a local perspective, who first worked as a housekeeper for a Japanese Civilian Administrator, Yamasaki Kenji, (the famed Apin Apin, Keningau, Straight Road) the Prefecture Governor of Keningau and later became his wife.

"Most of the existing writings on the war in Sabah, North Borneo are either based on local accounts or an official records collected by the Allied forces, especially the British and Australian. Thus in many ways, the accounts presented tend to have quite a similar perspective, especially with regards to some significant events such as Kinabalu Guerrillas and the Jesselton Uprising of October 1943."
