This time, some disillusionment and dissatisfaction may have kicked in and some people may not be motivated to come out and vote, so this will definitely affect the vote majority,” said the analyst.
Former Gerakan member Chan Tzun Hei, who had previously contested in Elopura one of two state seats under Sandakan, said Muslim voters in the seat can swing either way at this point.

Muslim refugees now feel safer in non-Muslim countries, says Dr MThe prime minister says this is not because of Islam as a religion but because some Muslims push aside the teachings of Islam.

Please YB Tun Mahathir, get our PDRM to monitor activities in M’sia 🙏.

Dr M: Conflicts in the Muslim world can be avoided if everyone adheres to Islamic teachingsEnd racism and bigotry of all kind. It benefits no one. All you “politicians” will say or do anything for support and votes... stop and think about the consequences. Conflict is never about religion. It's always about economics. It's invariably about wealth and greed. Just dig a little deeper. It's about wanting more at the expense of someone else getting less. Religion is a great and noble excuse. But at it's crux, it's all about cold cash.
