Shafie: Encourage all voters to fulfil responsibility for Sabah’s future

SEMPORNA (Nov 29): Former chief minister Datuk Seri Panglima Mohd Shafie Apdal has called on Sabahans to encourage all voters to fulfil their responsibility.

The Parti Warisan (Warisan) president, who is defending his state seat of Senallang, cast his vote at SK Bubul at 8.45am.

“I hope that the election process this time will proceed in accordance with the law. What is important is that we encourage as many voters as possible, whether they live near or far, to carry out their responsibility by coming out to vote, because this is important for us, the space and opportunity given for us to exercise our rights as voters.

“What we decide today will certainly determine the future of Sabah and the children of Sabah,” Mohd Shafie told reporters.

He is in a four-cornered fight for the seat, which has 20,763 registered voters.

The other candidates are Gabungan Rakyat Sabah’s Marunda KK Ampong, Parti Bersatu Sasa Malaysia’s Abdul Majid Angkulan, and Mohd Lipai @ Samsu Sundalu from Parti Impian Sabah.

In 2020, he won the seat after receiving 6,363 votes to claim a 4,631-vote majority against four other candidates.
