There are lot of abandon homes in Sandakan. Places used to be "Beverly Hills" of Sandakan has become Illegal Immigrants Hideout. No Sandakian dare to stay in these places anymore and even jogging late in evening is a scary journey. 
20 years ago, this place is consider romantic and many older generation used to "pak toh" here but now has to lock up to prevent theft of the "steel" handrails. 
Sandakian has given up on the old town, there used to be few steamboats restaurants on trig hill but now left only one. 
I was surprised by the numerous ongoing construction activities in the town centre, especially near the waterfront areas. This sounds like opportunity for my return to homeland! 
The new wet market is quite magnificient although nothing to Dubai magnitude but it still impressively Clean!
One of the major developer in Sandakan is IJM and their new double storey house now cost up to 300k. Using Donald Trump tactics of selling the 1st phase cheaper and 2nd phase much more expensive, indirectly jack up property prices in sandakan. They succesfully "produce" a so called Real Estate Industry Market in Sandakan. 
Some of Sandakan 0ld bangalows has been turn into money-spinning-machines, like The English Tea House and Agnes Keith House but most are beyond repair as their has been robbed to the bone by Illegal Immigrants to build their Huts! 
Sandakian although lack the Fund$ but we have the will with lot of wooden extension are build along the shores as restaurants. Sandakian finally find out ways to utilize our Sea Breeze!
The most famous construction site in Sandakan is this piece of land belong to one of the infamous legendary Balak-King. Located at the busiest traffic junction in sandakan making people wondering what is he planning. The site has been no development for 5 years or so and there is rumour that it be build as hotel at last.
Mile4 is the new happening centre in Sandakan. This is the busiest pub in Sandakan because of its good location where anyone can see everyone and anyone can be seen everyone.
Believe it or not! Sandakan actually own the first connecting bridge in Malaysia, way before KLCC Twin Towers. Located at mile2 it has been there before I was born... Sandakan B0leh!
For the past 17 years the event was held inside the Aviation Club, inside the club locate the Irish Village, one of my favourite pub. One of the oldest and "green" place in Dubai.
the Aviation club is bigger than I thought, there are many facilities, shops, restaurants and many tennis courts inside it.

If anyone walking in the stands, the empire will say "Please be seated!" Eye opener... 1st ATP tour Xperience
The best place to witness the perfect harmony of Sabahan + illegal immigrants from all walks of life and races is at 4D centres like STC. Nobdoy complain about having to queue in a smelly, dirty and crowded place because all of them concretrate 100% on the same goal- to buy tickets for 4D. No.1 Sandakan UNITED!
$nooker centres are the place where all those International Snooker "Champions" from Msia, Phillipine & Indonesia pit against each others with LITTLE side bets from onlookers. This is the way f0rward! STAY UNITED!
Illegal immigrants aka “fui chung” are plentiful and Nobody knows what to do with them. They are everywhere, every election's promise to flush them out seems to be Talk 0nly. They are a menace to sandakan.
THEY left their children on street and these Street Kids are very daring going around town asking for money. Famous for THEIR high production rates, it wont be long before Sandakan is taken over by those Sandakan-born-illegal-immigrants (SBII). Some said, we should help them but why? We have lot of native Sabahan kids that havnt receive help!
Most of them make a living through legal means like sewing cloths, repairing shoes but the way they occupy the walkway of Sandakan Town make the town look dirty. They eat & shit at the same place. Almost every stairs steps are occupied with "profesional" sewists. I respect their endurance working in such harsh condition; smelly, hot and dirty.
Any unoccupied staircase corner is made into open toilet! Sibei Smelly, so its either occupied with illegal immigrants or illegal immigrant's pees. Its the same with Sandakan Town Business, either you do Fui-chung business or no business!
Literally translate as “Hand phone can borrow money”, a service exclusively available in Sandakan Town. Ah Long Business grow like mushroom after rain, I wonder who are the one actually borrowing from them?
THEY rulezzzzz the night from every corner of the street to the coast!
These shoes are made of 100% rubber with it studs, it give them an excellent grips on any ground conditions. This shoes cost less than RM7!
