Kota Kinabalu: Kian Kok Middle School’s RM18 million eight-storey multi-purpose building is finally open, a decade after construction was completed.
Designed as a modern multi-purpose centre, the building includes classrooms, a library, student entrepreneurship spaces, and income-generating facilities to support the school’s operations.
