A village of about 15,000 people sitting in the Sembulan River sticks out like a sore thumb in the heart of buzzing Kota Kinabalu. It is surrounded by new hotels, resorts, a golf course, banks, office and shopping complexes. But a 45m-ringgit ($14.2m) river beautification project is spearheading changes to rundown Kampung Sembulan. And efforts are underway to clean up the village of about 400 wooden houses built on stilts.
