A package has been arranged for Sabah Society members, which is inclusive of dinner, a light supper (maybe boiled ubi kayu), bed and An Exhibition at the Dewan Bandaraya KK. Tomorrow (8th Feb) is the last day to catch this display. The Dewan is the Quonset Hut building (tunnel-like roof) at the top end of Australia Place, on a diagonal with Jesselton Hotel.
