First by election in Sabah

Another by election will be held, this time it is in Sabah, which has been touted as the crucial battle ground for the fight to putrajaya, in the next General election.

Malaysia has never seen so many by elections in between 2 general elections. Maybe some higher unseen forces are at work. Maybe it is to test the strength of the 2 big coalitions. Whatever it is, this is the first in Sabah.

This is what was reported in MalaysianInsider this morning:

Batu Sapi MP Datuk Edmund Chong Ket Wah has died in a road accident in Kota Kinabalu today, triggering the country’s 13th by-election since Election 2008. He was 54.
