On my way out this morning, I passed by the Ex-Sembulan Stalls site. The area in the foreground was previously occupied by some temporary stalls; selling vegetables and fish (seafood).
The stalls were demolished on 12 October 2010 by Kota Kinabalu City Hall.
Turning right, you can see the size of the "drain", that led all the way to the sea. The fishing boats (small ones) could bring their catch all the way up-drain ("up-river") to this point each morning and each evening. Thus those stalls were very popular for buying fresh fish (early mornings and late afternoons).
But the boats still landed here.
No more stalls didn't mean no more customers. The loyal customers still came round.
This lady customer must really want it "fresh off the boat"!
