Whichever way it goes in this straight fight among two once-close rivals, there’s no denying that the PSS was front and centre of this by-election. The consensus seems to be that Umno’s patronage politics all these decades have paid off with loyalty among the Muslim natives of Kimanis, where the Brunei people enjoy asphalt roads, streetlights and varying levels of business success under the Barisan Nasional administration.
Since then, it is expected that the Umno voters be further split when Membakut assemblyman Datuk Ariffin Arif switched sides last year to join Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia. “I don’t see any difference in the new government. In fact, things are getting more expensive and I think we are worse off. When we ask for help, we are told there is no money,” she said.
In contrast, the non-Muslim natives, politically grouped together as Kadazan Dusun Murut or KDM, were more emotional when it came to the PSS and are predicted to be the kingmaker in this close call. In terms of campaign machinery, the BN has proven its years of experience and expertise, putting out material and organised events timely and efficiently.
