You can take a flight to Singapore (Silk-Air) or go to north and by boat to Tawau, then to Kota Kinabalu, or Brunei, and other places
don't trust road over there.

I believe you'd better check there lastest news about road/path conditions, interruptions.. none more of who lives there could know it..
From here I could say the fun could change a lot (more or less) from the car you have, I remember once in Sabah, to do about 25 km of a not paved road by car (Nissan X-Trial) it took more than an hour and we've been lucky it did not rain since two/three days and it was dry paving. 25km without circumnavigation of holes, of course :-)
