The mountain became a subject of interest since 2018, when it was highlighted in the social media as the third tallest mountain (2,603 m) in Malaysia and Borneo, overtaking Mount Tambuyukon, also in Sabah, Its height was then determined using a handheld GPS, During a recent expedition to Mount Sinsing, a team from the Forest Research Centre, Sepilok, together with members from the Persatuan Komuniti Kampung Nupakan, set out to get a more accurate height measurement of Mount Sinsing, using the more sophisticated Stonex S900A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. Height data were recorded over a four-hour period on May 10, These observation data were then sent to a licensed surveying company for processing so as to officially establish the height of the mountain in m.s.l. (mean sea level), Using this methodology, the height of the summit of Mount Sinsing was found to be 2,586 m (m.s.l.), thus maintaining its position as the third tallest mountain in Malaysia and Borneo.
