A 30-something Chinese woman, who had accompanied her parents to cast their vote in the Sandakan parliamentary by-election, received a WhatsApp message from DAP.The woman was worried that a low voter turnout would affect the rocket, the symbol of DAP.In the afternoon, they made a push for more voters to be out.It was lower than the 71% in the 14th General Election.
Those sympathetic to Parti Bersatu Sabah or who were neutral saw the low voter turnout as an indication that PBS could pull off an upset.Vivian Wong, daughter of the late Sandakan MP, Datuk Stephen Wong, who died of a heart attack on March 28, trounced PBS’ Datuk Linda Tsen, a former two-term Batu Sapi MP.
They might be unhappy with Pakatan’s U-turns, broken promises and the rising cost of living, but they were not disgruntled enough to vote for the opposition. “She is a nice person who did not do anything for her constituency, which shared the Sandakan town with the Sandakan parliamentary seat,” they said.It relied on walkabouts, meeting people house to house and shop to shop, and giving out leaflets which looked like they were printed in the 1980s.
