▲ Broadcasting House, Jesselton. The home of Radio Sabah, the Government radio service of North Borneo, which was recently constructed by Messrs. Nanyang Construction Company (Manager K.T.

Designed by Architect Billings Leong, the Jesselton branch of the Chung Khiaw Bank was opened by the Governor of North Borneo in December 1960. The building houses the Bank itself, and staff accommodation, together with the offices of the Indonesian Consul, and was built by Jesselton contracting firm, North Borneo Contractors.
