Sorry to hear of your troubles on KK. I made six trips to Kinabalu from 1995 to 2003, mostly for multi peak climbs and enjoyed some great fun on Ugly Sisters. St Andrews Peak, climbed Alexandra and a couple of the 5.8-5.10 routes on the non-slab side of Kinabalu South. Some of the info the in the guide book came from me and some Singapore climbers. BUt overall the book is riddle with quite a lot of errors. I'll be re-looking the permit issues and have some words with people better connected than me these days working with the Parks people. The monopoly of Park services has changed hands more than once, and the profiteering side , mixed with poor knowledge of technical climbers' needs still makes it a tricky business. In our days with the Mountaineering Society of Singapore( MOSS), we merely had to write a letter asking for permission - no fee for the rock climbing permit at all. Things have changed.....
