The National Elimination Strategic Programmes (PSEMK) of Human Malaria has been introduced since 2010 as part of Health Ministry effort to ensure fully eliminated. Currently, Keningau is in progress of eliminating and at the same time prevention of re-introduction of Human Malaria. Based on geographical distribution, Keningau surrounded by the reserved forest and bordering of Kalimantan, Indonesian which attribute one of the highest malaria cases in Sabah. Besides, the locals are working at the endemic countries of malaria also contributing the numbers of cases. METHODS: A 10-year cross-sectional study under Keningau District Health Office from year 2008- 2018. RESULTS: The 10-year data was analysed from 2008-2018, all cases including human and zoonotic malaria. Whereby malaria zoonotic is increased while human indigenous is reducing tremendously. Mostly our Human Malaria contribute by imported cases. Keningau divided into 12 mukims, based on stratification of malaria, there are significant changes in 2013, where seven out of 12 mukims are green. Last mortality cases were reported at Keningau in 2010. CONCLUSION: PSEMK been divided into three phases (Pre-elimination, Elimination and Prevention Re-introduction of Malaria. Keningau Health District is in line and currently at the 3rd phases. However, the imported cases are a main threat, without early screening and good control measures it can be re-introducing to local community and subsequently ruin this programmed. Based on our practice and co-operation inter agencies, we are ready to eliminate malaria at Keningau in 2020.
