Hai.. im from sabah and this is what happen when the biggest industries in your country is tourism.. i remember how it was before covid, the whole city is pack with tourists you couldn't even find empty spot in tanjung aru beach.. the 3 island is also pack with tourists. But its improve alot nowadays in 2024 hopefully it will improve more because the ringgit is cheaper 😅..
You think this is bad? compared to those homeless in Kensington Ave Philly? hahahahahahaha...or that Hooker Capital of USA, Cali? I've lived all my life in KK and traveled extensively during my younger days to NYC,SF,Seattle,UK,Italy and other Asian country and comparatively these few years the Asian countries are far better off than those western ones. You can EASILY get mugged in the london tube or paris metro and i DARE you to walk out alone at midnight in the middle of NYC.
Welcome to Sabah! I'm born in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and live there since I was born. In 2018 (if I'm not mistaken), my all family member including me move to KL and COVID-19 hit and I got back to Sabah for Eid al-Fitr this year and too few things change like the pan-Borneo highway showing it progression, some new housing & some new mall again. But there is an issue, the politics stability on the state and the condition of the state itself for example the Sandakan city was like dead town but small town around it alive. The condition of road from KK to Sandakan was like 50%-70% bad, Sabahan call it "Road to moon" because it really bad.
Hello! Wow, I didn't know that. I wanted to make it to Sandakan but will save it for next time. It's unfortunate of how the government isn't putting money in the right place and making the correct decisions to improve the state's future. Let's hope the future is different!
@@Reardon_Explores Nah, the Sabah government said they didn't get enough budget from the Malaysian government (Peninsula). Plus, the Peninsula party was influencing the Sabah politic and also the Peninsula get oil from Sabah like 70% while Sabah only gets 30% which is wrong because it should be the opposite. For the Sarawak example, the Sarawak government use their autonomy right. That why, when you go to Sarawak, the condition of the state was in good condition.
Thank you for your honest insight. As a Sabahan (local) myself i truly appreciate your honest review about everything that you've said. And i truly hope that the local government saw your video and do something about it. Truly, there is a lot of room for improvement. Sad truth about Sabah, it seems to be normal for people to walk 10 steps and found junk of rubbish everywhere. Its happened everywhere here, that i believe it can only be solve if the people itself conscious about their action towards the enviroment. Thank you for visiting Sabah, and hopefuly you'll come back and till the day come, may there is drastic and positive change for this Land below the wind.
Hi! Yes, I really hope the government will step in soon and make some improvements. If my video can be one piece of cause for the action, then that'll be great. They should hold community gatherings to clean up rubbish by incentivizing people to get out and earn something from...better knowledge about the environment or even providing a BBQ that day or vouchers to use around the city. Something like that. I'll be back though one day
I was one of the tenants of the mall years ago long before covid. it was largely because of horrible management & money issues. I would say it more of a private firm issue than government. The Pillars was actually an art space owned by Sabah Art Gallery, that allows artist to do public art exhibitions & they have been some amazing ones. The current underwater one that looks slightly abandon is due to internal politics(sad, I know). Homelss, litering, etc.. sadly the government are not caring. it's sadly common that those in charge are mostly focused on the profit side of tourism than preserving the beauty of it, there's so much trash and underdevelopment in so many places. but... I'm happy to say despite all that, there's still uncomparable amount of beauty here. everyone locals or tourists loves sabah and everything about it. that part is to be proud of, proud to be Sabahan. :)
Agreed with you. The government has to look more on this to keep it maintain and made the visitor or the tourist enjoying and have meaningful stay at KK.
42:00 the clocktower was "closed for upgrades" for a year or two and left cordoned off at the top area on the hill - people have even stolen the metal scaffolding used to cordon it off, it's taken so long. thankfully, the clocktower was saved by the community after it was slated for destruction (!)
Great video! I'm a local here. I thought you were gonna film the islands- Manukan Island, Sapi Island and Gaya Island, which are just across the sea (visible in your video). The best flora & fauna islands are Sipadan Island (world class diving spot), Lankayan Island & Mamutik Island just to name a few if you are a diver. Anyways, keep up the good work!
Actually, I had planned to go to the islands by ferry or small boat but after going to the pier and checking out the situation, I figured i'd just stay on land and explore. Next time I will for sure! Thanks for watching! I def want to go back
Agree with you, covid19 pandemic affected tourism in Malaysia including Sabah quite badly.. Despite government given some aids but still there are not enough.. hope everything will rebound soon.. 😊
Well, just too many illegal immigrant in Sabah came from Philippines and Indonesia and most of them lack of common sense in term of cleanliness. Most of them make a house on the water and throw all the rubbish into the ocean. Also if you notice, so many litter on the side of the road too. This issues endless problems for Sabah government, Malaysia government and also for original Sabahan too.
It is a tragedy of what is happening. I know there is a lot of dispute between Malaysia and Philippines for whose land is it really. Either way, people need to take care of the land. I've watched many locals litter in front of me and it never makes sense. THeir thinking is: "out of sight, out of mind" :(
Hey bro, I'm very happy that you have visit KK ( which I'm am SABAHAN ).To be honest, don't really expect much of us, maybe when you walk past over the street or even any coner, you may see many of rubbish, which this is very bad. Maybe there many good place you can visit, but after those famous place, there really don't have anything to do. Bro, I mean this most issue I guessed was gourvement issue, don't get me wrong. Right now, I feel like gourvement did't do too much to us, KL having LRT, but KK don't have, which our gourvement did't do any thing about this. Also there water issue, which they said was too many people go Malaysia, so no water- But thanks you for your honest review, and Welcome to Sabah-
I remember going to Oceanus during my childhood, it was way popular back then. I remember being a kid going to the indoor playground with my parents. This is where I’ve been living my whole life, of course. It’s interesting to see my home in another person’s perspective, though. Like, I could be in Suria during the time you were recording and I wouldn’t know. Though yeah I do see quite a few white people around here just doing their thing, such tall people they are :/ But yeah KK is pretty nice here, at least coming from someone who lives here.
Hahaha that is interesting yeah. There is a lot of potential there. I bet it was really fun as a kid. Well, i'm not that tall but western tourists usually are haha
the row of warehouse facades with the grafitti all along it is actually part of the old go-downs (gudangs / warehouses) from back in the trading days. altho they are in disrepair, the owners are still thriving so it's likely they are just biding their time til development comes in the future (a hotel)
25:00 the building with blue columns was originally the State Archive building which burnt down in a fire, maybe 20 years ago? Local artists began a collective effort to paint individual columns but after the pandemic the local authorities took over and now the current installation is all we have had for months grrr
36:00 this particular landslide occured around the same time as the pandemic and compromised the safety of the observatory. for some reason, the only action taken was to put down the tarps. a couple of years is a long time to wait for what should be urgent redress for the house up top, the observatory and the people below:(
Kota Kinabalu is a MOST Beautiful City In Malaysia ( Tatap Bah itu ) but.... Now its NOT managed as it should be... Just HOPING it will change in the future....Sabah Tanah AirKU
It's not just the illegal immigrant. Even local throw rubbish as their like! Idk, they're educated but when it comes to throwing rubbish, they need to be warn first.. And also, there's no trash/rubbish systems here. For me personally, it's becoming a huge problem. If the gov wont do anything about it, apa lagi rakyat. Tepi jalan banyak sampah, macam tiada sudah ni yg kena denda/kena tangkap kalau buang sampah merata..
The government did try and help, even printed money and let people dig into their savings retirement funds and stuff. But pandemic affected Sabah especially hard because the state is so underdeveloped and has a very limited industry so most well paying sectors or educated workers tended to work in the peninsular. When tourism halted and then slowed down it negatively impacted a lot of places. Because not only were locals struggling so they're not spending as much but toursm hasn't recovered as much.
Ah yes that is what my Grab driver told me. He said the Pandemic knocked a big percentage of people and companies off their feet, in which the recovery process is very hard for most. True. It's sad what happened. Also, the pandemic was worsened by governments that didn't act properly and in a timely manner. Many governments squeezed their citizens for too long, sucking almost all the life out of them. :(
I’ve just seen this vid in my recommendations and i saw u wrote in the description box saying cultures from malay, chinese and filipino I have to correct u on that, in Sabah.. the only culture majority is the indigenous people (KadazanDusun, Murut etc) yes there are Chinese cultures too and malay but malay culture isnt really revolved here (yes lots of mosque but yk what i mean) Filipinos on the other hand, mostly the ones here are illegal immigrants that dont have ID cards so from that ministers from Sabah arent able to deport them even if they get deported, they would still find a way back here (the Filipinos coming here arent usually from philippines itself but from sulu)
Yes sure I understand your part. If we speak on popularity and majority, of course. There will always be a small percentage of others everywhere. One thing for sure is I can say that you can feel a real difference between Sabah and Peninsula Malaysia.
The government of Sabah should always have money. But hey, "Sabah Maju Jaya" right…😂 About the littering, sadly it's the lacking of mindset for respecting the environment by most of people living in Sabah. Even if every Sabahan had been taught in schools, idk why but it seems like those littering maybe didnt even do well in school, maybe 😢 Fyi, the Signal Hill project has been started since 2019 but not sure why is the project is so slow despite it would be a very good asset for KK tourism...
Do you speak Malay ? No, but the locals speak english very well. Learn the language and you can ask for exactly how you like things . Its what i did and im English living here in Sabah... ❤ Sabah 11:0211:02
Sadly, we do have homelessness and beggars in KK. Mostly they are illegal immigrants, undocumented people from the Philippines. However it's still not as bad as the crime and homeless situation in San Francisco and in many other cities in the US for example. It's unbelievable people can just walk into Starbucks, steal something and walkout without consequences, shops have to lock their display etc. th-cam.com/video/-fKjS_ojYRc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TXpNSG0oNjTsE2KI Anyway, the government did try to help during the pandemic. Like the US, we also print money 😅Just Google malaysia government help during covid.
You're absolutely right! It doesn't make any sense how such a world is possible like that. That is why I always say the most dangerous place is the US. I can't even fathom how my country is turning, it makes no sense! But anyway, I hope KK has a brighter future!
Well, you have to understand that sabah Kota Kinabalu is being robed by semenanjung. Our oil and gas has been years of giving away to them. And till today, they dont wanna give us back our rights of MA63.
Sabah has just been owerwelmed with transient economic migrants fm philippines and indonesia. ..nothing works....job opportunities are lacking..now young sabahans have to go west malaysia(malaya) to look for employments!!!!
Well, about the littering problem in the city. It could be locals, it could also be tourists. But there are also a large number of undocumented squatters in the city, mostly illegal immigrants. Last I've been there I came across one of their compounds. The surrounding waters are absolutely trashed and the whole place looks pretty much like a landfill. Locals see them as a nuisance. It baffles me why the local authorities still haven't done anything about these people.
RIght. I do believe some tourists litter but it is more likely people that live there long-term (same goes for all countries). The littering near restaurants, attractions, and bars...big part from tourism. But yes you have good points. Unfortunately, it seems as if local authorities aren't putting the money where it should go, making the situation much more worse.
I don’t care about the “differences “ between the Malay and Filipino all I know is the children were desperate and I had no problem giving them food and money…
I hope one day SABAH will be freed from the MALAYA colonialism!! SABAH is very rich in natural resources like oil and gas but poorly developed under the Malaya regime!
Dumb. Kerajaan sabah yg bodoh. Salah kn org lain. Kalau kluar malayisa blum tntu maju. Kalau perntah sndri yg korup. Ada duit billion2 pn xda guna . Kalau yg memerintah sabah pan masuk poket. Lepas tu salahkan orang lain. Salam dari sabah.
Yes! and it sucks to see that a lot of our netizen dont actually know where Malaysia's money actually came from. we never had the right share of revenue. Furthermore, mainland communities dont appreciate Borneo enough and give us the credit that we deserve... or even worst, some of them dont even recognise the existence of Borneo as part of Malaysia.
@@Epheja3691 this is agreeable, but i also think this is pushing us to make a border with people again. And you know from history what the western colonizer does to us all? Making us enemies of one another. If the whole South east asia (malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia for example) UNITE the western power will have less control. Sister please don't be impulsive, there is much more going on. Be wise. I also feel like there are so many good things about sabah leaving Malaysia but we also need to see what might happen if we leave it. Do you remember how the Philippines (i dont remember which group) attacked lahad datu? I don't know the whole situation of our sabah military and so on but its dangerous. If Sabah and Sarawak become one independent country from Malaysia that would be best. But again, do we really want to make border and separate again? Yeah there are many good things but also there are many problems that will arise.
You are comparing grapes to grapefruits...Malaysia and US aren't really comparable. Both have good and bad. I like Malaysia just as much as I like the US. @Mihai-v5m is just against "American" things
That building at 25:52 is remnant of The Land & Survey Office built by the British north Borneo administration in 1920s. Destroyed by fire in 1990s. As it was abandoned after so the City hall let artist to paint graffiti and artworks on it and make it a memorial for old building and Kk history. The are plan to restore the building to it's original condition in the near future by state government. The Atkinson clock tower area at 42:12 is closed for visitors. That's why there are zinc wall surrounding the area. It's a construction site now for building a concrete pavement for visitors to visit the clock tower. An upgrade for the area and will be open in late 2024 or 2025.
Why do you think KK, Malaysia has such issues? What should be done?
Hai.. im from sabah and this is what happen when the biggest industries in your country is tourism.. i remember how it was before covid, the whole city is pack with tourists you couldn't even find empty spot in tanjung aru beach.. the 3 island is also pack with tourists.

Im from putatan town, sabah, think the local govt should be more transparent

Oh really? This I never heard of
i wish you would go to johor baharu
On my next visit, I definitely will. I'll go to South and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia 😃
Too many change of the govt is also contribute to the projects stop. New govt different rules is crazy🤷♀️ dont know about skater , it so rare 😂
Interesting. I thought seeing another skater would be rare haha
Mustapha change the name from jesolton to Kota kinabalu
Ah yes I saw at the ferry point
And when i try google search with keyboard language unchanged, it appears as 木薯打花

Sabah has just been owerwelmed with transient economic migrants fm philippines and indonesia.
..nothing works....job opportunities are lacking..now young sabahans have to go west malaysia(malaya) to look for employments!!!!
Yes very understandable of why they are fleeing to the west
We know what happen with oceanus mall.. The building have problem
What was the problem?
Never call a building with anus in the name ....
Well, about the littering problem in the city. It could be locals, it could also be tourists. But there are also a large number of undocumented squatters in the city, mostly illegal immigrants. Last I've been there I came across one of their compounds. The surrounding waters are absolutely trashed and the whole place looks pretty much like a landfill. Locals see them as a nuisance. It baffles me why the local authorities still haven't done anything about these people.
RIght. I do believe some tourists litter but it is more likely people that live there long-term (same goes for all countries). The littering near restaurants, attractions, and bars...big part from tourism. But yes you have good points. Unfortunately, it seems as if local authorities aren't putting the money where it should go, making the situation much more worse.
I don’t care about the “differences “ between the Malay and Filipino all I know is the children were desperate and I had no problem giving them food and money…
children should always come first
I hope one day SABAH will be freed from the MALAYA colonialism!! SABAH is very rich in natural resources like oil and gas but poorly developed under the Malaya regime!
It is very poorly developed and there is a lot of rich biodiversity there as well
Dumb. Kerajaan sabah yg bodoh. Salah kn org lain. Kalau kluar malayisa blum tntu maju. Kalau perntah sndri yg korup. Ada duit billion2 pn xda guna . Kalau yg memerintah sabah pan masuk poket. Lepas tu salahkan orang lain. Salam dari sabah.
Yes! and it sucks to see that a lot of our netizen dont actually know where Malaysia's money actually came from. we never had the right share of revenue. Furthermore, mainland communities dont appreciate Borneo enough and give us the credit that we deserve... or even worst, some of them dont even recognise the existence of Borneo as part of Malaysia.
Sabah will be better off if we leave Malaysia.
@@Epheja3691 this is agreeable, but i also think this is pushing us to make a border with people again.
And you know from history what the western colonizer does to us all?
Making us enemies of one another.
If the whole South east asia (malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia for example) UNITE the western power will have less control.
Sister please don't be impulsive, there is much more going on.
Be wise.
I also feel like there are so many good things about sabah leaving Malaysia but we also need to see what might happen if we leave it.
Do you remember how the Philippines (i dont remember which group) attacked lahad datu?
I don't know the whole situation of our sabah military and so on but its dangerous.
If Sabah and Sarawak become one independent country from Malaysia that would be best.
But again, do we really want to make border and separate again?
Yeah there are many good things but also there are many problems that will arise.
😅 geez not a good time at Kota Kinabalu
Hahaha well actually, I had a decent experience overall. The food scene is excellent and there are many friendly locals
Not your country, not your business!!! Make no judgements. 🎉🎉🎉
Not your channel, not your right. Make no negativity!!!
You are comparing grapes to grapefruits...Malaysia and US aren't really comparable. Both have good and bad. I like Malaysia just as much as I like the US. @Mihai-v5m is just against "American" things
use your own epf lel - gov

That building at 25:52 is remnant of The Land & Survey Office built by the British north Borneo administration in 1920s. Destroyed by fire in 1990s. As it was abandoned after so the City hall let artist to paint graffiti and artworks on it and make it a memorial for old building and Kk history. The are plan to restore the building to it's original condition in the near future by state government. The Atkinson clock tower area at 42:12 is closed for visitors. That's why there are zinc wall surrounding the area. It's a construction site now for building a concrete pavement for visitors to visit the clock tower. An upgrade for the area and will be open in late 2024 or 2025.
Ok ok ok. Thanks for the info. That'll make it better
