Madness in Kota Kinabalu

The Building on the right is Kompleks Karamunsing, while the new shops on the left is Karamunsing Capital. Kompleks Karamunsing was completed in the early 80s by Promet Dikoyu. It was a bad time economically and the complex was practically empty for a few years. Promet Group was restructured (capital reduction etc..) in 1998 or so. The building had been sold to a sarawakian. They seem to have upset a number of the tenants. The shopping mall is now a warren (Sg Wang style), but still popular because of the number of IT related shops there.

The new shops in Karamunsing Capital were completed this year. I haven't been around the shops there.

This is the "madness" in the Post Title. They have blocked off the connecting bridge between the two areas! I can understand it if they put up a carpark toll-gate. But to block off THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC is pure madness!

  1. I'm tired of the food at Karamunsing Complex, wanted to 'cross over' for a different taste but was put-off by this 'blocking'.
    I'm glad that nobody 'block' the fly-over at will !
