Signal Hill (GPS: 5.98581, 116.0797) is the highest point in Kota Kinabalu. It got its name from the signals being sent up the hill using flags (hence, the name Bukit Bendera in Malay for the hill) whenever mail steamships arrived at Jesselton Port.

There is an observation platform here where visitors can get a panoramic view of Kota Kinabalu below. On a clear day, one can see all the way to Pulau Gaya, which in at the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park.

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.
