After my first photography book about The Forgotten Town of Kota Kinabalu, Bandaran. This is my continuation with a different perspective and angle from Helicopter Above. Big thanks to my Cousin In-Law, He's the one who called me and join him to photoshoot my hometown from above. Kota Kinabalu also knows as Jesselton. The capital city of Sabah, North Borneo, Malaysia. This is the new city of Kota Kinabalu since early 80's. It used to be a sea until the previous government (Berjaya or PBS) decide to expand the commercial district facing the South China Sea. Since after that, Lots of expansion going on the south side of the commercial district. Kota Kinabalu was granted as City Status by Malaysian Government on the 2nd February of 2002. There's where all the interesting shops and new 'lifestyle' shopping established just beside the South China Sea. K.K also is an international tourism gateaway and major gateway into Sabah and Borneo Island. The highest mountain in Malaysia is located approximately 90KM from the city. One of the major in industries and commercial in East Malaysia. It make Kota Kinabalu one of the fastest growing cities in South East Asia.
