Sabah VFM 102.9MHz from Bukit Tampalagus is the first Sabah radio station tuned in Bekenu, Miri Division, Sarawak.

The Sabah's multilingual radio station, RTM Sabah VFM is available in small part of Sarawak such as Lawas and Sundar via FM 102.9MHz from Bukit Tampalagus which covers Sipitang, Sabah and Labuan Island.


I was used to receive Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Lawas, Sarawak in 8th November 2019. After 4 years 5 months hiatus, during my trip from Bintulu to Miri, I stopped in Batu Niah and Bekenu, surprisingly I could hear a mild signal of this radio station in Bekenu.


Yes, FM 102.9MHz was Sabah VFM tuned in Bekenu, Sarawak as it played Kadazan music when I filmed the signal video there yesterday.


Bekenu is a small town located in Sibuti Subdistrict, Subis District, Miri Division, Sarawak. It is also 45km away from Miri City. 


In terms of receiving distance, Sabah VFM 102.9MHz is the furthest radio station tuned in Bekenu, Sarawak. Moreover, Bekenu is my #2 location to tune RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Sarawak after Lawas.


Bekenu is also my #1 location to tune RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Miri Division, Sarawak.
