Yah. Not only that. The a/c black thing is about the same as OCs and the cameras were in place as the same as SBS Transit KUBs.

anyone suspect the possibility that this might have been bodied in conjunction with gemilang, and according to sbst's positioning of stuff?

From it's design, I think it's also a WAB bus too...
