The news was confirmed by Borneo Adventure, a local tour operator, through a video posted on their Facebook page. Guide Paul Matthew expressed his dismay, stating, "The sea stack is gone, really gone. We don't know when it fell, but the icon of Bako is no more."
While the exact cause of the collapse remains unknown, it's likely a result of natural erosion, a continuous process shaping coastlines worldwide. The park's owner, Philip Yong, expressed his sadness but downplayed the impact on tourism. "Bako itself remains the crown jewel of Sarawak tourism," he affirmed.
