Photographer Andrew Tan, was with a group of 11 at the northernmost tip of Sabah, Borneo.
He told Mashablehe only realised the light pillars were in the picture when he checked his camera later.
He used a 30-second long exposure to capture the phenomenon, and it picked up the colours of the light pillars.
"It was magnificent," Tan told Malaysian paper The Star. "It is definitely a moment to treasure in our lives."
Astrophotographer Christianto Mogolid, a native of Sabah, was with the group when the phenomenon occurred.
He told Mashable that he had witnessed light pillars in Sabah before, but didn't realise it would happen that evening. "It was pure luck to encounter such [a] rare phenomenon," he said.
Light pillars occur when the source of the light -- either the sun, or the moon -- are near the horizon. The lights tend to take on the colour of the light source.
Sabah, a state in eastern Malaysia, has reportedly witnessed light pillars in both 2006 and 2015.
UPDATE: June 28, 2017, 10:30 a.m. SGT This story previously noted that Andrew Tan was with a group of 5, and that Mogolid wasn't with him. Tan was with 11 people, of which Mogolid was one. The story has been updated to reflect this.
