The Little Big Ben In Kota Kinabalu

A hotel and shopping mall mixed development has to be reassessed upon the instruction of the State Cabinet, all because of this Little Big Ben Clock Tower which is a close neighbor.

The City Folks are against the development and chose to preserve the heritage of the Atkinson Clock Tower which is estimated to be about more than 100 years old. It is not that they are against development in the City but they love the Atkinson Clock Tower more. Many people wanted the Clock Tower area which is located on a hill top to be preserved as it was construction using time and may be affected by piling works as the Clock Tower was not built on piling.
