These are the sceneries of beautiful Kota Kinabalu from the
observatory tower at Signal Hill [or Bukit Bendera], the hilly [duh~] green
lung of the city. I like the place… the lush greenery, the awesome vista
overlooking KK.
It is located just beside old KK city centre and is one of
the few places of the former Jesselton where forested environment prevails. The
little yet historic Anderson Clock Tower can be found at the foot of Signal
Hill, though that place is not the original place where it stood before.
In recent months, there have been talks and court cases on
developing the site for commercial purposes. I think it is pity if a place of
natural heritage and a historic landmark is sold for something that can be
built somewhere else. Why do we need to be so gluttonous and don’t care about
our environment and history just for the sake of petty things like hotels and
shopping malls? KK has enough malls and hotels. There are still a lot of lands
left for these kinds of developments.
These
kinds of greedy people should get new brains and think about the consequences
of the things they’re doing!
