Lotinggi Dampian Books & Stationery Shop

WELCOME TO The Lotinggi Dampian Books & Stationery Shop, located at Lot 137, 2nd Floor of the Megalong Shopping Mall, Donggongon Town.

Donggongon is in Penampang District. It is not far from Kota Kinabalu City.

One of the newest landmarks at Donggongon is the Megalong Shopping Mall, reputedly the longest mall in Sabah.

The Lotinggi Dampian Books AND Stationery Shop is perhaps the only bookshop found in the district. You will, of course, find a number of bookshops at Kota Kinabalu. But you may find some books at the Lotinggi Dampian Books & Stationery Shop which you cannot find anywhere else.

One of the newest addition of books available at this shop is the new edition of the Kadazan Dictionary. Hard cover copies are sold at RM50.00 per book whereas the soft cover copies sell at RM30.00 each. Be assured that the dictionary is sold at the stated prices. It is understood that copies of this dictionary are available at Kota Kinabalu at a much higher price.

You can reach Donggongon by either driving or taking any of the 13A buses from Kota Kinabalu. You may prefer to take a taxi. Or if you are from Papar (or from further away) or from Kota Kinabalu, you can take the train and disembark at Putatan. From Putatan, you can take a taxi or charter a privately-owned car in order to go to Donggongon.

If you drive, you can use the old road through Lido or Dontozidon. Alternatively, you can take the new Road By-pass from Tanjung Aru - Sembulan roundabout and turn left upon reaching the big Siga Roundabout as you reach the very vicinity of Dongggongon. Siga is the headgear worn by Kadazan men especially during festivals. From there, it is short distance to Megalong Mall.

As indicated by the name the Lotinggi Dampian Books & Stationery Shop also sells stationery at competitive prices. You can browse through the books and get your supply of stationery at the same time.

We have run out of the Kadazan Dictionary. Hopefully, we can get new supplies in future. Unfortunately, the supplier cannot confirm when. We will let you know. Alternatively, you may want to check out information at https://twitter.com/kadazanhomeland
