2016 state election is another ball of game for opposition parties in Sarawak



An observation by Peter John Jaban

The last general election was hotly anticipated.  In fact, many of us thought it might even prove to be the greatest upset in the history of Sarawak elections. The opposition was riding high, matched equally by the height of anti-Taib sentiment. 

But polling night proved to be something of a letdown, with Barisan Nasional returned in strength, in Sarawak especially.  Sarawak voters, particularly those in the rural areas, kept Barisan Nasional in power; without us, we would not be living through another BN term which has dragged Malaysia through scandal and shame worldwide.
