Der Distrikt Tawau ist ein Verwaltungsbezirk im malaysischen Bundesstaat Sabah. Verwaltungssitz ist die Stadt Tawau. Der Distrikt Tawau ist Teil des Gebietes Tawau Division, zu dem die Distrikte Kunak, Lahad Datu, Semporna und Tawau gehören. Demographie Tawau hat 372.615 Einwohner (Stand: 2020). 2010 war der Distrikt Tawau – bezogen auf die Einwohnerzahl – mit 397.673 Einwohnern nach Kota Kinabalu der zweitgrößte der 25 Distrikte Sabahs. Verwaltungssitz Verwaltungssitz des Distrikts ist die Stadt Tawau. Die Verwaltung des Distrikts wie auch der Stadt erfolgt durch das Tawau Municipal Council. Das Tawau Municipal Council wurde am 1. Januar 1982 durch Verschmelzung des Tawau Town Board und des Tawau Rural District Councils ins Leben gerufen. Geschichte Die Verwaltung Tawaus wandelte sich im Lauf seiner Geschichte mehrfach. Ab 1890 erfolgte die Verwaltung zunächst durch die North Borneo Chartered Company, die diese Aufgabe wechselnd in die Hände verschiedener Residenten, Distriktoffizieren oder Anwärtern auf das Amt des district officers legte. Während der Japanischen Besatzungszeit erfolgte die Verwaltung durch japanisches Militärpersonal. Das bewährte Vorkriegs-Verwaltungssystem wurde nach der Niederlage der Japaner durch die Britische Kolonialregierung fortgeführt. Auch nach 1963 setzte der malaysische Staat bis 1981 weiterhin Residenten und Distriktoffiziere ein. Die Nachkriegsverwaltung der Stadt war von 1948 bis 1955 durch die Vorgaben des Reconstruction and Development Plan, ausgearbeitet vom Entwicklungsbeauftragten der Regierung, E. W. Ellison, eng an die britische Kolonialregierung gebunden. Erst 1955 bekam die Stadt mit der Gründung des Tawau Town Board die volle Kontrolle über ihre Finanzen und die Verwaltung ihrer öffentlichen Ämter zurück. Zum 1. Januar 1982 erfolgte eine Verschmelzung des Tawau Town Board und des Tawau Rural District Councils zum Tawau Municipal Council. Im März 1983 wurde Tawau verwaltungstechnisch in vier Gebiete unterteilt: Stadtgebiet (5.918 Hektar), Vorstädte (4.783 Hektar), Umland (591.384 Hektar) und Seegebiet (26.592 Hektar). Weitere Behörden Das Verwaltungsgebäude „Wisma Persekutuan Tawau“ beherbergt verschiedene staatliche und bundesstaatliche Einrichtungen bzw. Zweigstellen verschiedener Ministerien wie zum Beispiel die Einwanderungsbehörde (Jabatan Imigresen) oder die Schulaufsichtsbehörde (Jemaah Nazir Sekolah Sabah). Der Eigentümer des Gebäudes ist das Prime Minister’s Department, das dem malaysischen Premierminister untersteht. Das Gebäude wurde 1984 in Betrieb genommen.

Tawau District

The Tawau District (Malay: Daerah Tawau) is an administrative district in the Malaysian state of Sabah, part of the Tawau Division which also includes the districts of Kunak, Lahad Datu, Semporna and Tawau. The capital of the district is in Tawau Town. The district also includes the northern half of Sebatik Island, which is shared with Indonesia's North Kalimantan province. History The administration of Tawau changed several times in the course of its history. From 1890, the administration managed by the North Borneo Chartered Company, which put this task alternately in the hands of various residents, district officers or candidates for the office of the district officers. During the Japanese occupation, the administration was carried out by Japanese military personnel. The pre-war administration system was continued after the end of World War II. The post-war administration of the city was from 1948 to 1955 by the provisions of the Reconstruction and Development Plan, drafted by the Development Officer of the Government, E. W. Ellison who was closely tied to the British colonial government. Only in 1955 did the city regain full control over its finances and administration of its public office with the founding of the Tawau Town Board. Even after the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the modern state of Sabah continued to use residents and district officers until 1981. On 1 January 1982, the Tawau Town Board and the Tawau Rural District Council was merged to become the Tawau Municipal Council. In March 1983, Tawau was administratively divided into four areas: urban area (5,918 hectares), suburbs (4,783 hectares), surrounding countryside (591,384 hectares) and sea area (26,592 hectares). Demographics Tawau district is the second largest of Sabah's 25 districts, with 397,673 inhabitants after Kota Kinabalu. Tawau consists of Bugis, Tidung, Murut, Chinese, Lun Bawang/Lundayeh, Kadazandusun, Bajau, some of Indonesians and Philippines.

Wisma Kastam

Wisma Kastam, formerly known as the Malayan Railway Building, is a defunct train station in George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. History The Malayan Railway Building and clock tower were designed by English architect Arthur Benison Hubback, Architectural Assistant to the Director of Public Works for the Federated Malay State Railway Department, to serve as it northern railway terminus and was completed in 1909. Lee Ah Kong was appointed contractors and the cost was $166,800 excluding tile and iron work. J. McKenzie acted as supervisor under the direction of H. C. Barnard, Acting Divisional Engineer. Used as offices for FMS Railway staff, its main purpose was as a ticket office for passengers travelling to Prai railway station on the mainland. The fare included passage on a steamer across the Penang Strait which departed from the Railway Pier situated across the street. Due to the lack of rail lines and trains it was referred to as the "ghost station", and as the only station in Malaysia purpose built without a direct railway connection. At one time FMS Railway considered using it as a luxury hotel but the plan never went ahead. In the 1960s it was occupied by the Royal Malaysian Customs and Excise Department and became known as "the Customs Building" or Wisma Kastam. The customs department vacated the building in 2022 and an investment company became the new leaseholders. The building has been granted the status of a Grade I heritage building in Malaysia. Description Built in the Edwardian Baroque style to the design of A. B. Hubback, who was responsible for many of the British colonial government buildings of the early twentieth century in British Malaya, it is situated at China Street Ghaut within the city of George Town. The building, 242 feet long, consists of three storeys including a clock tower which is 150 feet tall and was, until the modern era, one of the tallest buildings in George Town. The ground floor contains the booking hall decorated with Minton tiles, a bar and restaurant, and offices for the station master, left luggage and telegraph operator. The first floor contains the office of the Traffic Inspector and other offices which were rented out to tenants. The top floor contained more offices and live-in accommodation of the Traffic Inspector. Two lifts were installed and a circular iron staircase was built to give access to the clock tower which has four clock-faces, each eight feet in diameter, and a large, two ton bell which tolled the hours.

Island 88

Island 88, formerly known as Island Plaza, is a shopping mall within George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located at the suburb of Tanjong Tokong, the 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2) retail complex was opened in 1995. After facing a decline due to the emergence of newer shopping malls throughout George Town, it was rebranded as Island 88 in 2023 by Hong Kong real estate tycoon Paul Law. History Island Plaza was launched in 1995 at a cost of RM200 million. Touted as the most luxurious retail complex in Penang at that time, it was at the forefront of introducing high-end brands like Versace, Fila, Oshkosh B'gosh and Mizuno into Penang. In 2005, Metrojaya became Island Plaza's anchor tenant by opening its first department store in Penang within the mall. The Asian Retail Mall Fund II (ARMF II), a real estate fund managed by Primerica, purchased Island Plaza in 2007 and spent RM40 million on its renovation. However, due to the emergence of numerous shopping malls throughout George Town and the lengthy renovation, Island Plaza began to decline gradually. Metrojaya's department store was closed in 2011, and ARMF II started looking for investors to sell Island Plaza. In 2020, just before the Movement Control Order caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Paul Law, a Hong Kong property magnate, acquired Island Plaza for an undisclosed sum. The mall underwent rebranding in 2023 and was renamed Island 88. The revitalisation of Island 88 will involve the integration of Hong Kong-inspired dining establishments and lifestyle outlets. Location Island 88 is situated opposite City Residence, at Jalan Tanjong Tokong, the main thoroughfare running through Tanjong Tokong.

Standard Chartered Bank building, Penang

The Standard Chartered Bank building, alternatively No. 2 Beach Street, is a historical building in George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. Completed in 1930, the office building, situated at Beach Street within the city's Central Business District (CBD), was one of the tallest in the city at that time. It served as the Penang branch of Standard Chartered until 2017, after which the bank relocated to its new premise down the street. The building has since been reopened as Spaces Beach Street, one of IWG's coworking spaces in Malaysia. History The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China (known as Chartered Bank), a British bank established in 1853 was established in Penang in 1875. It is the oldest bank branch in Malaysia, and was the leading bank in colonial Malaya, later, in 1969, merging with Standard Bank to form Standard Chartered Bank. After opening at Beach Street, it relocated several times along the road, moving into premises at No. 11 in 1875 where it remained until 1930. After the First World War, the bank saw the need for additional space and acquired the site at No. 2 Beach Street which was occupied by the old Central Police Station. The site occupied approximately 20,000 square feet with a frontage on Beach Street of 154 feet and 156 feet on Union Street. Plans were approved for the construction of the new premises in 1925. The architects appointed were Stark and McNeil, the contractors were Chin Ah Chin and Yong Ah Shing, and resident engineer was Steen Sehested. However, construction was delayed due to problems with the foundations, and the building was not completed until 1930. The new office building, formerly opened at a ceremony on 30 January 1930, was evidently a success as the bank remained in occupation for the next 87 years. A major renovation was carried out in 1992 when the original banking hall was redesigned, and it finally vacated the building in 2017, moving once again along Beach Street to more modest premises at No. 86 where it remains today. IWG plc subsequently took a lease of the building and in 2019 opened Spaces Beach Street, the company's second coworking space in Malaysia after Spaces Platinum Central in Kuala Lumpur. Description The square-shaped, four-storey building is 80 feet high with the ground floor faced with granite and features an arcade to provide shade. The frontal facade of the upper floors features a veranda with a Doric colonnade surmounted by a Parthenonic frieze. The ground and mezzanine floors were occupied by the bank whilst the upper floors, consisting of offices, were let to tenants. The floor of the bank was paved with marble and mosaics, and featured a U-shaped, teak counter with bronze grills. The manager's office with its panelled walls was adjacent to the bank's two strongrooms with security doors and locks provided by Chubb and Son. On the mezzanine floor were two further strongrooms for the bank's documents and records. See also Bank of China Building Foo Tye Sin Mansion HSBC Building OCBC Building References
