Kota KInabalu, formerly called Jesselton. This is a modern capital with the warm hospitality. It is located on the west coast of “the Land below the Wind”, under the watchful eye of majestic Mount Kinabalu, and on the fringes of the South China Sea, Kota Kinabalu is the bustling and colourful gateway to Sabah. Sabah is the second largest state in Malaysia, is situated at the northern part of the island of Borneo, the third largest island in the world. It covers an area of 72,500 sq. kilometers with a coastline of 1,440 kilometers long washed by the South China Sea in the West, the Sulu Sea in the Northeast and the Celebes Sea in the East. Kota Kinabalu is the largest urban centre in Sabah and the sixth largest in Malaysia.
Kota Kinabalu is a multiracial country. For Example: Chinese, Malay, India, and others. That why there’s food is varied in a way that only a state with 30 ethnic groups can offer. For Example: Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Hainanese Chicken Rice, and others. Kota Kinabalu is a place was full of natural resources and potential to be a successful city as New York.
Actually Kota Kinabalu still have many development can be additional. First, development in Metropolitan Rapid Transit System, if it is operated this will be the major transportation of Sabah. Because it can avoid the traffic jam problem and let Kota Kinabalu be systematic in traffic. Information traffic in Kota Kinabalu was very confused, it may lets tourists hard to travel with themselves. If not take action about this, when the time be longer it will be the serious problem to the tourism industry and of course Kota Kinabalu. By the way, Metropolitan Rapid Transit System in Taipei had been developed as successful, there tourism industry because of this to became popular. If Metropolitan Rapid Transit System in Kota Kinabalu can be developed as successful as Taipei, then Kota Kinabalu may attract more tourists to visit.
We have to upgrading the cleaning department to make it more efficient. In the Kota Kinabalu city, there were lacked of cleaning whatever it is the capital of Sabah. This will destroy the look of the city and the image to the tourists. If not, in their mind Kota Kinabalu will be a dirty, non-sense, smelly city. It will directly affect to the Sabah and of course Malaysia will be related too. These matter may will let’s Kota Kinabalu be well known but as the nickname “Dirty City”. We have to upgrade and be well known as the nickname “One Of The Clean City In The World”.
Nature Resources is the most important thing and the sign of the Kota Kinabalu city. We have to maintain these important resources always, can’t not let it be destroy. In the research, there had 80% tourists come to visit Kota Kinabalu is because of the valuable natural resources. The world biggest flower “Rafflesia” is one of the valuable natural resources in Kota Kinabalu. We have to take care about it, if not it will become extinct soon.
The public order need to be improving too. Because there have no one hope to live at the place was un-safety. To be honest, public order in Kota Kinabalu was no enough. There were lacked of patrol and it may will bring in crime to the city. Police should always patrol at the dark corner and the pub around the city for avoid crime happened. The city will in the un-safety and crime situation. For example: Saudi Arab, North Korea, and others. These are the country were terrible.
Police should take action at the stowaways. Because they are Violations of local people human rights. Some of them will destroyed the city facilities and bring in the crime to the city. They will affect to the economies of Kota Kinabalu. Economies were the roof of the country. No one country can be successful as well without economies help.
Government should build housing and sell to the local people as the cheap price. Sabah have a lot of people don’t have enough money to have own house. As a government must give help to them. Because a successful city must need the support and help from peoples. Government should treat people as good and give much offer to them. For example: Health card, Insurance and others. Just like the Taiwan, Japan, and Brunei, these country did gave the offer to their people.
Kota Kinabalu may build a big theme park for attract tourists to be here. The number of tourists will be increase because of the theme park. For example: Hong Kong because of the Disney Land help to become a economies boom. These cases were remind us that theme park is important for a city or a country in the developing.
At the last, I wish all of above may will be improve and develop as well. If Kota Kinabalu had done all the developed and improvement, then it will the successful city as New York, Tokyo. Archive the great city of the world name. Hopefully this day can be true before I am back to the hug of Jesus.
