What sets Tun Sakaran apart is his enduring connection to the people of Semporna, especially the Bajau community to which he belonged. He understood the importance of safeguarding cultural identity while fostering unity in a multiethnic state. As such, the museum not only tells his story but also elevates the voices, traditions, and artistry of the local community he championed throughout his life.

Through his work, Tun Sakaran advocated for education, infrastructure, and economic empowerment, always striving to uplift rural and coastal communities. He remained accessible and grounded, a leader whose humility and wisdom earned the respect of many across Malaysia. Even after his passing in 2021, his influence continues to be felt in the initiatives he supported and the people whose lives he touched.

Visiting the Tun Sakaran Museum is not just a historical journey—it is an invitation to reflect on the values of service, cultural pride, and community strength. It is a place where Tun Sakaran’s legacy is not just remembered, but actively passed on to inspire future generations to lead with integrity, vision, and heart.
