About
This blog was brought into existence because I wanted to share my interests in areas such as computers, the Internet, technology, Internet marketing and other stuff.
Hi, I’m Gaman. I’ve been working part time on the Internet since late 1997. Within two years, I discovered that this was what I wanted to do for a living so I went full time in 1999 and the rest as they said is history.
I started Sabahan.com in January 2006 to give out tips and help other would be Internet marketers or bloggers make money on the Internet, one post at a time.
Actually starting a blog at Sabahan.com wasn’t my initial intention. The domain Sabahan.com had been sitting around for over a year and a half after I managed to grab it from the previous owner who apparently failed to renew it. In fact, I almost started a dating site or friendster like service dedicated to Sabahan and Malaysian in general with the domain.
But that didn’t materialized. Something moved me to start blogging instead. Along the way, I find myself learning things that I could’ve missed if I haven’t started this blog. I’ve also discovered a thriving Malaysian blogosphere which I am happy to become a part of now. I wasn’t much of a blog reader before I started blogging myself.

In case you are wondering, yes I am a Sabahan. For those who are not familiar with this term, Sabahan is the native or inhabitant of Sabah. Sabah was also known as the North Borneo, a state in east Malaysia.

Congrats for the review on John Chow’s blog.
Like John, I’m still wondering, “Gaman” is that your real name?
It’s a pseudonym actually
Great site and Tips. Im new to blogging so any visitors is much appreciated. Cheers c ya!
P/S glad to see real sabahans (like me) in the blogospere
www.geeks-corner.com
sabah rocks!!! the only place to be!!!
I have enjoyed reading your blog but could I suggest you put full posts on the front page rather than excerpts.
It’s annoying having to click twice to read a post.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I think I’d like to show the excerpts in the front page so that users can get an overview and don’t have to scroll down to see the next posts.
I think clicking is easier than scrolling long entries especially if you want to see the comments as well
oh yes, i definitely agree with gaman here. Thats why the first paragraph is the most important part of any posting…
furthermore, guest can scan all the title in one go. And if using the live bookmark feeds, just go direct to the title and boom, one whole post displayed.
of coz, there’s black and white, red and blue, in and out about this style. But if more people, like 80%, “demand” the full post, well, the final decision is of coz bias to it. Just my 3 cents. Sorry to get into the middle of this
cheers.
Oh wow.. You started working online since 1997 when I just started having fun with it only…
Great blog..the idea of putting excerpts rather than full post is very helpful..
It was rearly gd to see your site this morning-British whinter time as it has been over 30 years since I lived in Sabah…KK,Likas and attended La Salle school. any way, I wish u all gd luck and do hope u re start sabahan friends again…I will b there. I now live in Bristol UK. jumpa lagi… old Likas boy
Gaman, bah bila lagi moginum. Hidup SABAH..
proud to be Sabahan..
Gaman, you bring back money from oversea via blogging
i want to join you to make Sabah a rich! Hehehehe why don’t you write an article with the title “Message Sabahan Youngster : Tips On How Improve Your Financial Status Via Blogging”
hehe. Just my 3 cent… in my opinion, you are more than qualified to write that article.
