Only in Sabah: Jalan Seteshen
You can find this along Jalan Tanjung Aru, on your way to the airport. In particular, if you are making a trip to Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd's office in Tanjung Aru, you will be greeted by this friendly ole signboard.

This perhaps, is a case of trying too hard to adopt the English word STATION into Bahasa Melayu.
I was confused at first.
But then you explained.
*giggle, giggle*...
This also reminds me of a sighboard in Donggongon town not too long ago. It has since been changed after some people complain about it. Fancy a street called "Street In Front of Donggongon Town" hehehe...
aku selalu fikir semua ni salah orang yang buat papan tanda tu
mereka tak buat rujukan
memang banyak terjadi macam ni
rainfield61 - it was supposed to be just pictures, no words
Angie - i think I've seen that. Couldn't remember when
Written in Bahasa i think.
tehr - perkataan salah paling banyak sy nmpk 'STESYEN'. Sepatutnya STESEN
this is what we call... Sablish.. Sabahan English..hahaha...
That reminds me of the older folks giving name to their child 'Sitiwot' for Stuart or Steward. Whose fault could that be? The Registration Dept or the parents.
