Notes From Elsewhere
Sir Hugh Low, GCMG (10 May 1824 – 18 April 1905) was a British colonial administrator and naturalist. After a long residence in various colonial roles in Labuan, he became the first successful British administrator in the Malay Peninsula. His methods became models for future administrators. He made the first documented ascent of Mount Kinabalu in 1851. Both Kinabalu's highest peak as well as the deep gully on the other side of the mountain are named after him.[1][2]
GCMG (1883). Served in Sarawak and Resident in Perak
