THE CROSS
Aside from the white two-barred cross inside the shield, a bigger one in gold is placed behind the shield. It relates to the archbishop's processional cross and the jurisdiction it symbolises.
HAT AND TASSELS
These are traditional signs of the Church that reflect the Office of Metropolitan Archbishops of the Catholic Church.
THE PALLIUM
The pallium, a woollen vestment with six crosses worn over the shoulders, is a distinctive vestment of metropolitan archbishops and is displayed below the shield.
THE SHIELD
This forms the central part of the armorial bearings.
THE MOUNTAIN
The outline of Mt Kinabalu signifies the location of the Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu in the State of Sabah in the Federation of Malaysia, since the mountain is one of the most outstanding landmarks of the state.
AI
This Chinese character meaning LOVE is drawn graphically into two parts. The upper part of the character illustrates the simple roof of a shepherd's hut. Taking shelter below it, are the Blessed Virgin Mary and Child Jesus on the manger.
MOTTO
The words: KASIHLAH SATU SAMA LAIN (Malaysian for "Love one another") is adopted as the official motto of the archbishop.
