So, why GRS won, and why Warisan fall short? Also why DAP lose all?
Ketat2 yg bijaksana, please share your thoughts.
I think, urban areas support Warisan for change, while rural areas remain unconvinced. General sentiment in rural areas is that revolution will not benefit them. Better take what is given to them without big hope, not asking much unrealistically.
Warisan also appeared to support pilaks, makes them less popular w native Sabahans.
Upko captured 3 seats, up from previous 1 seat? It means the 40% theme is more relevant to Sabahans, not corruption topics.
DAP appeared aggressive in their stance, made some remarks look unpleasant n disconnected w grassroots. Was their campaigns more about corruption? If true, they haven't learn their lessons in semenanjung. Corruption topics won't win them votes.
PIS contest 72 seats, gets zero. Why??
Generally, Sabahans more concern w Sabah's rights n benefits. Bribery, corruption, songlap won't work.
GRS won because they are the governing party who has resources and allocation, in rural area money is matter, sumbangan during Raya or festive period is a key factor for local to support u.
Warisan fall short because during year 2020 till now, they have lost quite a number of KDM politicians and remain strong at east coast only (Bajau), but this election they won even more than year 2020 because Chinese fully support Warisan.
DAP lose all because they ally with Warisan during year 2020, when they got central government power during year 2022, all of sudden DAP Phoong Jin Zhe accepted the state minister post and ally themself with GRS, not to mention Albert Tei bongkar whole corruption case which piss off chinese voters.
