By the way in case you didn’t know, Jesselton was what Kota Kinabalu was called before you know it was changed to Kota Kinabalu for obvious reasons. Malaysianism.

Here is an excerpt how it became known as Jesselton.

In 1899, the site for setting up a base on the mainland was named Jesselton, after Sir Charles Jessel – the vice Chairman of the Chartered company. Soon after the administrative centre was moved from its location at Gantisan.

I’ve got to hand it over to the tourism industry there for preserving what seemed to be an old phone booth.
