Abstract
Triangulation is a classical geodetic practice to establish survey control networks by using measurements of angles and some spare distances. In this way, a series of reference points or simply called ‘trigs’ is spreading over the country. This paper aims to review geodetic survey work that was carried out for the East Malaysia and Brunei from 1918 to 1968 which is covering about 204,119 square kilometres'. However, this classical geodetic datum is not directly compatible with the current surveying trends based on Global Navigation Satellite System technologies. Therefore, in this review covered concepts and history of triangulation systems, datums and the status of transformation plan to modernise geodetic datum for Sarawak.
