Also Kinabalu National Park does not have Kota in front of it. Kota Kinabalu is the city where the airport is.
We have learned the lesson from the Aruba and Kenai pictures that the written clues point to correct answer.
One more thing, the ethnic group of people - they have to be in Sabah, instead of in the town of Kota Kinabalu, nor in any one of the National Parks.
The written clues ARE the ones we should focus on in our deduction.

I submitted Pulau Tiga National Park, Sabah, Malaysia yesterday.
If they do have rafflesia there, then that will be the it.
I'll try Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia for today. Probably not the national park since everybody has doubts about it.

And apparently they screwed up with mine:
I submitted:
ARIKOK NATIONAL PARK, ARUBA 0 pts.
CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK, NEPAL 2000 pts
KENAI RIVER, ALASKA, USA ??? (but should be 2000 when they post)
I know the points I received HAD to be from week 2, because I didn't guess day 1 of week 1. but I did guess correctly, and have emailed a "missing points" form, asking why I didn't get points for day 2 or 3 of week 1.

Just as I expected the same moronic fourth clue - location. Like we didn't know this already.

Day 4 clue - Located in Southeast Asia
I don't know how anybody would be able to answer the puzzles without the day 4 clue.

I'm curious about guessing wrong on a later day
What are the opinions out there on if you guess correctly say on Wednesday, then on Thursday you submit a wrong answer - would you expect to get the points for a Wednesday correct answer or would a later incorrect answer negate the earlier correct one? - essentially does the last answer count or is it that if you hit the right answer at any point it's okay. Under one scenario there would be no downside to submitting an answer every day - under the other you wouldn't want to submit a new answer if you weren't confident it was a better choice than the previous. I'd be curious what people think on this.

I love the way they have now put the flower somewhere that you can actually see it.
And today's clue is just the hint we all needed
