Chartered Company Monument, Colonial monument in Sandakan, Malaysia
The Chartered Company Monument features a Celtic cross design on a four-stepped rectangular base with inscribed panels displaying names of deceased officials.
The British North Borneo Company erected this memorial between 1885 and 1890 to honor British servicemen and employees who died during colonial expeditions.
The monument represents the complex relationship between British colonial administration and local communities through trade and territorial expansion in North Borneo.
Located in MPS Square facing the Sandakan Municipal Council, the monument forms part of the Sandakan Heritage Trails walking route.
The memorial lists specific individuals including explorer Frank Hatton, who died at Segama River, and Franz Xavier Wittisheim, killed near Sibuco River.
