Is it 'standard' or 'normal' for banks to insist that the borrower affirms a statutory declaration that the house is for owner's occupation?

I am getting a loan from CIMB and they are insisting on this provision. I plan to go with another bank if CIMB does not budge on this.

Anyone manage to get this requirement waived by their respective banks for their loans?

this is 1st time i heard this in malaysia.
but, in hongkong, it is a must to declare.  in hongkong, the loan ratio is different, own stay is 70%, rent out is 50%.

(in hongkong) if you stated own stay, get the loan, buy the house; and then somehow bank found out you rent out, they can call back the loan.
