Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin speaking at a meet-and-greet session in Kampung Rampayan Laut in Kota Kinabalu yesterday, as political bigwigs target urban constituencies in the Sabah state elections on Sept 26.

One of the hotly contested areas is Putatan, a coastal parliamentary area next to the state capital. It contains three state seats, namely Tanjung Aru, Petagas and the new seat of Tanjung Keramat. A host of political bigwigs had visited Putatan, including Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin who gave a rousing speech during his visit to the people’s housing project in Tanjung Keramat on the eve of nomination day.

Petagas and Tanjung Aru were once a BN fortress but the coalition lost the seats in the last general election to Warisan and are determined to wrest back the seats with the help of PN, who are themselves keen on being the first to win the new Tanjung Keramat seat.“We are getting all the help we can from our machinery because we want to retake the state government from Warisan Plus who have failed from all aspects of governance.

Warisan president Shafie Apdal believes that the opposition are sending the bigwigs as they know there are no guaranteed seats.
