her name suggest Indonesian origin ...sabah and sarawak shares the land borders with Indonesia...the whole island being borneo ...the Indonesian part of borneo is mostly inhabited by natives dayaks and trans migrasi folks mostly from java...trans migrasi was a programme to induce peasant from over crowded areas to sparsely poulated areas like Kalimantan....but there is an exclusive chinese zone in kalimantan -the Pontianak....where everything and anything is chinese ...but chinese folks here are poverty stricken farmers type who hopes to ship their daughters to Taiwan by marriage
and kota kinabalu formerly known as Jesselton is a pretty cosy british sort of of town ...where the educated lots mingle and lots of Chinese to be found
the probability is her family could have migrated from indonesia to KK
