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.

 Seteshen?


Another Seteshen signboard at the exit

Only in Sabah - Funny words


You can see this along Jalan KK Bypass near Bulatan Capital. This road sign is still in use today and you can stop by to have a clearer view of the faded alphabets.

Old signboard still in use


"KERETA SABLLA KANAN JALAN DAHULU"


English: "GIVE WAY TO THE VEHICLES FROM THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT".
Catchy word: SABLLA KANAN (immediate right)
Wrongly spelt: Sablla (correct word: Sebelah)

It makes me wonder why it is still there after so many years of modernisation works in the city. Perhaps it has some historical value like the Atkinson Tower Clock which stands not far from it. LOL
