Atkinson Clock Tower- Heritage Preserved

Do you know that our clock tower that's in the middle of KK was in jeopardy recently, somewhat last week. It was up for demolition for a hotel and a shopping complex! Just imagine that!
I got to know about it Monday this week, 2 days ago as I read the newspaper eating nasi goreng near Open University. Shocked! I went to it's facebook event and clicked attend. You can do the same too, eventhough you're not Sabahan, or from Malaysia. Click "Attend" and you've might just have saved a heritage with all-wood-no-nails structure that symbolizes our Sabah. I'm confused however, why are there people clicking "Maybe" or "Not Attending"? They don't read before they click I guess.
You can also support this cause by signing it's petition online. It was created by Richard Nelson Sokial (sabahheritage@gmail.com), founder of Heritage Sabah.
Aand good news for us all today! State government has ordered the Central Town Planning Board to re-study their plans about it. Environmental Protection Department has also been said to reject this absurd plan.
Yay for us all! Nothing will come between us like I said, my dear tower! Developers, get somewhere else please.
Shine on,
Del
