Ranau

Ranau Town, called Pekan Ranau in Malay, is the capital of the Ranau District in the West Coast Division of the state of Sabah, Malaysia. The source article estimates its population at around 87,500 in 2023. The town has a tropical rainforest climate, classed Af, with heavy rainfall through the whole year. In national politics the area is represented in the Dewan Rakyat by the Ranau federal constituency. The English article this entry rests on is short and carries little on the town's history, geography or economy, so this entry records only what that article supports and leaves further detail to later work.
