Kampung Air, Kota Kinabalu

Kampung Air or Water Village are villages on stilts in Kota Kinabalu. While there are two villages vying for that title - Kampung Bebuloh and Kampung Patau-Patau - when we talk about Kampung Air, we are referring to the one across from the KK Times Square presently under construction. This stilt village used to face the open sea, but with the land reclamation for the Sutera Harbour and the construction of the Coastal Highway, it has become a lagoon.

The City Hall of Kota Kinabalu has been talking about developing Kampung Air because, face it, the place is deteriorating into a smelly backwater. Visitors going there are complaining that it is becoming a shanty town not congruent to the image of the capital of Sabah.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
