1)Dataran Sandakan

An active dataran (square) located in Sandakan, Taman Utama. A central, metal sculpture featuring Malaysia's identity (our national flag) is placed at the center of the square. The centre (focal point) is elevated slightly from the road level to give prominence to the centerpiece sculpture. The square is divided into 4 separate quadrants to allow different activities to happen simultaneously. A separate area facing the sculpture is also designed as part of the dataran to allow for flag raising ceremonies.









May have rugby field, football field, basketball court and badminton/tenis court

120,000 square feet, the first Giant Hypermarket in East Malaysia, scheduled to be open in Q3 2006

Nissan Fuga,

Your pix have made me miss Sandakan.

It's such a nice medium size coastal town.
Where everybody seems to know everyone.
Cheap 'Ikan Bakar' at Buli Sim-Sim market..who could not miss that.

I'll post my own collections of Sandakan pix too soon!

* Did you know that Sandakan perhaps has got the most entertainment centres per square KM in M'sia? Check out Batu 4..
