KOTA KINABALU: Many voters in Sabah are concerned about the environment and would take a potential candidate's environmental aspirations into account when casting their ballot in the state polls, says the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

It said this was reflected in a survey conducted by WWF Malaysia on Aug 27 that saw 1,239 people responding.

This number also resonates with 71% of respondents, who said that they would consider the environment as one of the factors that will decide their votes. This is followed by the 31-35 age group , 46-60 age group , and the under-30 age group who were very concerned about environmental issues. Other environmental concerns were unsustainable infrastructure, air pollution, climate change, and unsustainable agriculture practices

“As our future well-being is dependent on the state of the environment, we should continue to hold our political leaders to a high standard of accountability to ensure that Sabah’s rich biodiversity continues to be protected and conserved," she added.
