KOTA MARUDU: It is a 'bergigit-gigit' race in Sabah’s northern Kota Marudu where it will see two local heavyweight candidates facing off against each other.
Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili speaking to reporters on Saturday.
Ongkili, who is seeking to retain the seat for a seventh consecutive term, is putting up a tough fight in his defence of the constituency which has been dubbed as one of the poorest districts in the country. However, the KDM deputy president must not be too comfortable as the GRS-Barisan components were also backing up Ongkili, who was at mid-way point and is seen as being able to turn around the campaign in his favour.
He added that throughout his terms in Kota Marudu, he had brought in developments in terms of providing basic necessary infrastructure such as roads and building schools in the villages here. "When there is difficulty such as someone passing or for example just recently, there was a fire in a village here, he will not hesitate to give assistance.
But not everyone was convinced that Wetrom was the answer to their woes as Wong Sui Ming, another resident at Gana, would attest. "Ongkili is doing well as he brought in a lot of developments. However, at the same time we need more, especially for the youths.
