Woman Posed Half-Naked at Kota Kinabalu’s Maybank Tourist Spot, Police Investigate

A video of a woman posing naked from the waist down in front of the iconic Maybank sign in Kota Kinabalu has gone viral, prompting an official investigation by local authorities.

The 10-second clip, which is believed to have been first posted on a Chinese social media platform, has since spread across WhatsApp.

The Rapid Spread of the Video

The video shows the woman posing provocatively, lifting her coat while wearing only underwear, fully exposing her lower body in front of the Maybank branch on Jalan Gaya—a spot that has become increasingly popular with tourists for its photo backdrop.

The video, believed to feature a foreign tourist, has gone viral after being posted online. Internet users speculated about the woman’s nationality based on a watermark from a Chinese social media platform.

Legal Consequences for the Woman in the Video

Police are now working with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to trace the origins of the video and identify the person involved. If confirmed as a tourist, she could face a re-entry ban into Malaysia.

According to Kota Kinabalu police chief Assistant Commissioner Kasim Muda, the case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code, which deals with obscene acts intended to insult someone’s modesty. If convicted, the individual responsible could face up to five years in prison, a fine, or both.

Tourism, Social Media, and Public Behaviour

While the Maybank sign along Jalan Gaya has become a well-known spot among Chinese tourists, gaining fame on the social media platform Xiaohongshu, the incident raises concerns about how viral trends can sometimes lead to inappropriate behavior in public places.

Kota Kinabalu has seen a surge in tourists flocking to this photogenic location, turning it into an online trend. This trend, however, has now drawn negative attention, with some tourists seemingly willing to cross boundaries for social media fame. 

Sabah, in particular, relies heavily on tourism to sustain its local economy. Negative incidents such as this can tarnish the image of Kota Kinabalu as a family-friendly destination, potentially deterring more responsible tourists.
