Another Sandakan hotel to shut its doors amid Covid-19, this time after 54 years in business

Sunday, 07 Jun 2020 11:21 AM MYTNAK Hotel’s Ba Lin Rooftop Bistro urged its customers to make their way to the restaurant, adding that its last dinner service will be on June 14. — Picture via Facebook

“It is with a heavy heart that NAK Hotel has decided to close its doors for the first time in over 54 years, until further notice. In the same Facebook post, NAK Hotel’s Ba Lin Rooftop Bistro urged its customers to make their way to the restaurant, adding that its last dinner service will be on June 14 .

Many Facebook users said they were sad to hear of the impending closure, noting the many memories and celebrations they had at the bistro, with some also commenting that the closure of the iconic landmark would be a big loss to Sandakan., NAK Hotel’s general manager Linn Ngui said the hotel had continued operating during the movement control order period, but noted the “extremely challenging” conditions even as it prioritised ensuring its employees were taken care of.

The hotel, which was built in the 1960s, was one of only two large hotels in the port town of Sandakan when it officially opened in 1966 — two years after its namesake Ngui Ah Kui died.
