The different by-election results in Rantau and Sandakan are food for thought, especially since the electorate composition are nearly the same. Pakatan Harapan lost in Rantau but won in Sandakan.
They see the obvious failings and corruption of BN. It is only logical that they voted for Harapan, which toppled BN. Semenanjung leaders need to be aware of this. Sandakan and Peninsular by-elections are two different beasts really.
I was just in Sabah & people are so much more accepting. I & some of my friends are mixed race & not once did anyone ask any of us about our race, religion, or origins. They just accept you for who you are. In peninsula we can't even get a ramli burger without being questioned.
Lots of Malay Muslim friends from east Malaysia who speak mandarin better than me.... such an open and welcoming culture compared to peninsula Malaysia... really toxic racism
Sandakan is poised to be the catalyst for change & growth in Sabah. It is ppl's hope that the change will spread to other areas in the state thus reviving the economy there & lift the ppl's living condition.
Why is racial polarisation so deep-seated in the peninsula but not so in Sabah? Because Sabahans are English-educated open-minded people. That's why.
