Abstract
Maliau Basin hosted some of the most spectacular waterfalls in Malaysia. 29 waterfalls showing heights of more than 5 metres were recorded during this study. The high density of waterfalls here can be attributed to the right combination of rock types (hard sandstone and soft mudstone layers), geological structures (vertical fractures and gentle dipping layers) and morphology (saucer- like surface).
