Tun Mustapha Memorial. A hill that was used as a base by rebel Mat Salleh prior to his attack on the British Settlement at Gaya Island in July 1897.
Mat Salleh was a courageous, however often ruthless rebel who revolted against the British.He was able to motivate and recruit large gangs from the Kadazan and Dusun, even though they were from different ethnic back-grounds. He promised to liberate them from the British, in which he ultimately failed and many natives lost their lives in the battles against the well-equipped purchasers of their land.
