Kinabalu tower needs to buck up

Since you're asking about WBKK there are some issues about Kinabalu tower. Their controlling in the air is okay but is is on the ground that they need to buck up.

Landing on 02, F is too short for 737 so we normally roll to the end or stop by A. But A and B is on the opposite site of the runway so there is a need to cross the runway to get to terminal 1.You need about 1 minute to enter the runway at B and exit at G. A lot of times tower gives landing clearance even at 10 miles, while someone is holding at B. If tower can hold back the clearance to about 4 miles as done in KUL, you can cross the runway and be almost at the terminal before the 2nd aircraft lands.

Of course all this can be solved easily if the authority can build a full length parallel taxiway.
