What about Pensiangan?

Guong

It is official, PAS/PR wins and UMNO/BN lost in Kuala Terengganu by-election. Many have predicted this outcome. Well, now what about Pensiangan would be by-election. The case is still not yet resolve by the court.

Will it be the same?.... I doubt it...we'll just have to wait and see..

Why I doubt it? Too many wannabe candidates are setting their eyes on this seat. SAPP, PKR, Bebas and UMNO/BN. Not to mentions a different vibe of voters compared to West Malaysian.

Issues to bring in for Pensiangan by-election is an issue itself. They probably wouldn't give a damn about racial issues, NEP, religion or any of those 'Peninsular' stuff. All these issues doesn't really affecting Sabahan in the first place.

Racial issues? Never heard of any racially motivated clashes causing hundreds of casualties or death in Sabah. NEP? It didn't even happen (or exist?) in Sabah. If it does there would be a lot of rich Sabahan natives yet Sabah is the poorest state (with abundant of resources). Religion? One family tree in Sabah can consist of different religion, race and belief yet they can still keep a good and harmony relationship.

Development issues might be the key in gaining their vote. In fact, that is what most Sabahan need. So, if there were to be by-election in Pensiangan, expect a lot of "Janji-janji Manis" and "Projek-projek" for the F class contractors. Not forgetting free zinc roofs, blue toilets and upgrading the gravel road with... new gravel. Which will only last until the next election just so they can give it again as "sweet present".

Predictable...

I believe this time around the tsunami's big tide have arrived to the shore of Sabah. No malice in this as kadai kupi talk seems to say so and this type of signal nowadays very powerful lah.

I really like to see change on Sabah political scene.. for the better. But somehow it is still quite far fetch, for now.. Don't know weather KT by-election made the tsunami's tide bigger but Pensiangan is far from the beach after all.
