Apa kabar smua urang2 Sabah?
Today’s post is a bit different as I’m showing you guys some of Sabah’s early days photos, some of you might have seen these photos but for those (including me) I just couldn’t stop to post this and share to all of you.. Special thanks to one of Made In Sabah’s loyal readers + supporters from Klang KL, Ms. Hidayati for the effort and time to scanned + emailed me the photos for us here to share..
Jesselton (which now is known as Kota Kinabalu) was found by the British North Borneo Company in 1899 by Henry Walker as the Land Commisioner.

Where did you get that book?
The book is actually from a national library somewhere in KL, since my client friend Ms. Hidayati (non Sabahan) is so passionate + interested about the Sabah history, she scanned some of those pages and email it to me.. later, I posted those pages here for sharing purpose.
