KOTA KINABALU, Sept 6 — A 35-year-old man suffered serious injuries after falling from KK Plaza and landing on a parked car outside the shopping centre yesterday.

The incident, which occurred around 11.45am, drew a large crowd of onlookers, many of whom recorded videos and took photos. Despite his injuries, the man was still conscious when emergency responders arrived.
