Painted Houses

These are our very own painted houses in KK. Not quite the painted ladies of San Francisco, but they are colorful. The houses are located in Inanam, an area more known for light industries and motor vehicle spare parts. I live in one of the many housing estates in the same area. Yes, in those boring terrace houses.

Actually, it is quite common to see the kind of house shown in the photo around Sabah and the country. They are usually built on stilts to avoid the water when its flooding and in the older days, wandering wild animals. The stilts also allows good ventilation for the houses.
