My 16 - Likas

A beautiful sunset that was mistaken for a dawn.
- Achille-Claude Debussy (1862-1918); French composer.

Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu
Likas

Likas is a second 'training-ground' for us - medical officer-going-to-be; beside in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kota Kinabalu. Here, we're posted for O&G and Peadiatric as the hospital caters referral for both fields.


One of the landmark in Likas is the 'floating-mosque' or officially known as Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu. The location just beside the beach make the mosque unique compared to others. I remember my first EidualAdha prayer in Sabah was in this mosque. Apparently I didn't make it asI thought they started as in Peninsular. Guess what? When I arrived there, everybody were rushing back as they've finished the prayer. Well - in Sabah, the sunrise 'early' as the time was already standardised during Mahathir's time. Ever wonder why 6.00 AM in Sabah is bright compared to KL?
