Kota Kinabalu Airport - May 2016

The condition of the seat (all the seats in Gate B3) at our KK airport. I felt I couldn't include the word "International".

Did the boss walk around and see this?
Were the airport fees, charged to the airlines using the airport, not enough to cover maintenance of these seats?
Did they go for style and looks fabric rather than easy-care vinyl?
Did they use these because we were flying low cost carriers?

Hmmm....
