West Coast Division, Sabah

West Coast Division is an administrative division of Sabah. Although it occupies only 7588 square kilometers, or 10% of Sabah's total land area, it has about 30% of the total population of the state. This is the division that includes the state capital, Kota Kinabalu. Other major towns include Putatan, Inanam, Telipok, Tamparuli and Kinarut.

4. Penampang District

Each of the red square represents a town in the West Coast Division. The big red square is used to denote Kota Kinabalu. I also add a green square to show nature sites such as Kinabalu 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.
