This collection features the Labuan War Cemetery, the largest in Malaysia, alongside Surrender Point, where Japanese forces officially yielded to the Allied Forces in 1945. The list also explores the island’s coal mining heritage at the mysterious Chimney and its accompanying museum, as well as maritime and colonial history preserved within the Labuan and Marine Museums.
