Yayasan Sabah


Photobucket
Built with bold architectural and engineering concepts, it is a building which many thought was not possible. There were also many prophets of doom who predicted that it could not be built as designed, as it was the first of its kind in Asia. They were all wrong because Yayasan Sabah Headquarters has not only been built, but has become one of the most famous and admired buildings in the country. Set beside the blue waters of Likas Bay and its coral-fringed coast, it is connected to town by a 11.2 km coastal road which cuts across the bay. The tower-like Yayasan Sabah Building has been likened to a modern Taj Mahal, which changes its colours throughout the day, depending on the clouds, sun and ever changing colours of the sky. A fitting symbol of Yayasan Sabah, this towering building which looks like a giant rocket ready for launching, not only represents its forward looking attitudes but the whole of Sabah as well - for reflected on the special reflective glass walls of the building is Mt. Kinabalu, the mighty symbol of the State, which although 80 km away can be seen on days when the sky is clear.

Gaya Street Sunday Market


Gaya Street, which used to be called Bond Street, is considered the main road of Kota Kinabalu. Because of the great potential of the area, the place underwent a major facelift back in the 1950s and 1960s. The traditional shops were transformed wherein the ground floors were occupied by different shops and the second floors were turned into residential units or hostels. Nowadays, Gaya Street is still considered the commercial and business district in all of Kota Kinabalu. This is where you can find the most number of banks, other financial offices, and legal offices. It is lined with so many hotels, hostels, specialty shops and restaurants that operate 24 hours a day. A lot of these commercial establishments have been in existence for so many years and some are family businesses that have been passed on from generation to generation.
