Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Kota Kinabalu, formerly known as Jesselton, is the capital of Sabah
state in East Malaysia. It is also the capital of the West Coast
Division of Sabah. The city is located on the northwest coast of
Borneo facing the South China Sea. The Tunku Abdul Rahman National
Park lies on one side and Mount Kinabalu, which gave the city its
name, is nearby.
Kota Kinabalu is often known as K.K. within Malaysia and
internationally. It is a major tourist destination and a popular
gateway for travellers visiting Sabah and Borneo. Kinabalu National
Park is located about 90 km from the city and there are many tourist
attractions in and around the city. Kota Kinabalu is also one of the
major industrial and commercial centres of East Malaysia. These two
factors combine to make Kota Kinabalu one of the fastest growing
cities in Malaysia.
Being the capital city of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu plays an important
role in the political and economic welfare of the population in the
entire state. It is the seat of the state government where almost
all of their ministries and agencies are based. Most of the
Malaysian federal government agencies and departments are also
located in Kota Kinabalu. The Sabah State Legislative Assembly is
located at nearby Likas Bay.
The city is administered by Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (Kota
Kinabalu City Hall). The city obtained city status on February 2,
2000, and prior to this it was administered by Majlis Perbandaran
Kota Kinabalu (Kota Kinabalu Municipal Council/Kota Kinabalu Town
Hall).
The internal roads linking different parts of the city are generally
state roads constructed and maintained by the state Public Works
Department. Most major internal roads are dual-carriageways. One of
the major road here is Jalan Lintas-Jalan Tuaran Bypass, which
together serves almost as a ring road, circling the city and
connecting the districts and suburbs surrounding the city, namely,
Putatan, Penampang, Luyang, Likas, Inanam, Menggatal, Sepanggar, and
Tuaran.
Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) provides flights
linking the city with other domestic and international destinations.
It is a secondary hub for Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia and it
consists of two terminals. It is the second busiest airport in
Malaysia after Kuala
Lumpur International Airport and is one of the main gateways
into Sabah and East Malaysia.
