Kota Kinabalu MP Datuk Chan Foong Hin noted that the Maybank branch has unexpectedly become a popular tourist attraction among Chinese visitors to Malaysia.

“Although I don’t quite understand the trend, it’s clear that our city is gaining popularity among tourists, which reflects the rich tourism resources Kota Kinabalu has to offer,” he said in a Facebook post.
