Borneo's tallest peak, Kinabalu, which rises to 4000m/14,000', does experience snow falls on rare occasions.

Contrary to what many believe, it does snow near the equator, on the highest peaks of various continents. Probably the best-known example is highlighted by Ernest Hemingway's short story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro."

Papua New Guinea actually sports some impressive--yet rapidly melting--glaciers atop 3-mile-high Puncak Jaya.

No, it does not snow in Borneo. Borneo has a tropical rainforest climate with high temperatures and high humidity throughout the year, so snowfall is extremely rare in this region.
