Go Back - HOME | Latest Kota Kinabalu Attractions > Sabah > Malaysia > World | YouTube : Facebook | About Me : Contact MeThe Sacred Heart Cathedral building replaced the older Pro-Cathedral building, which was built in 1953, had to be taken down due to some fault to the roof structure that is compromising on the safety of the building. Although there was a degree of sentimental attachment to the old building, it was decided that it had to go, as the structure presented neither archaeological nor aesthetic value deeming worthy for preservation.
The present cathedral building in stages in 1981. The roof was completed in July, the scaffoldings removed in mid September, the pews were installed in November, the same month that the 130-feet tall bell tower was completed.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
