This Picture Got My Attention


I went to a coffee shop at Donggongon newtownship this afternoon and saw a picture hanging on the wall that really got my attention. I grab my h/p and took a snap of it.

For those of you youngsters or outsiders who never got the chance to see how it looks like. This picture is Donggongon old town in the 70's. At far right (concrete building) still stood firm & the view at left was where Tamu Donggongon used to be held every saturday. The two wooden shophouses was demolished to pave the way for the construction of the newtownship in Donggongon.

Donggongon as it is now, is a town in the West Coast Division of Sabah, Malaysia. The town is located within the district of Penampang, but today it can be considered as part of the greater metropolitan area of Sabah's capital city, Kota Kinabalu. As of 2007, it has a population of 78,086. The Penampang District Police Headquarters, Penampang District Library, The Penampang Cultural Centre and the Penampang Sports Complex, are located in Donggongon. It also feature a popular weekly tamu (Market) in the town.
