KOTA KINABALU: The community centre that was destroyed in a fire will be restored, says Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK).
"DBKK is currently assessing the damage and planning restoration work," it said in a statement on Tuesday (July 29).
A fire at 12.30am destroyed nearly 80% of the centre in the heart of the town.
It was opened in 1958 and served as the venue for many historic events before and after the formation of Malaysia.
