A tale of two Bung Moktars

Figures on both sides of the political divide describe the Kinabatangan MP as a good friend, generous and affable. — Picture by Mukhriz Hazim

“When it was first announced that he could be the next CM if the Opposition won, I was honestly taken aback. I think of him saying ‘F*** you’ in Parliament and wonder if he can be Sabah’s leader?” said a policeman who was on duty at one of BN’s events on the northern island of Banggi. The Sukau native has managed to strike a balance between his presence, ability to laugh at himself, generous nature and demeanour, endearing him to Sabahans and earning him a very loyal grassroots following along the way.

In what was seen as a courageous but risky move, he fielded nearly 90 per cent new faces in the 32 seats that Umno is contesting, opting to leave out veterans and established incumbents. Former chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman and Sepanggar division chief Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan were among them.
