Kota Kinabalu: Mayor Datuk Seri Sabin Samitah said City Hall (DBKK) will open 15 Ramadan bazaar locations this year. They include night market sites and parking areas repurposed as temporary bazaar sites.
“The main Ramadan bazaar locations around the city include Deasoka Intersection (Jalan Gaya), Tanjung Aru, Sembulan, Damai and Taman Indah Permai.
