KOTA KINABALU: The Sandakan by-election campaign has so far been conducted within the confines of the law, says Sabah police commissioner Datuk Omar Mammah.
“We have only received reports of petty offences such as tearing up of posters and such, but nothing that caused injury,” he said Monday .
Omar added that he hopes campaigners and supporters would help maintain peace and safety at all times, until polling day itself. “We have so far deployed some 600 policemen to keep the peace and ensure a safe campaign,” he said, adding there will be an additional 400 personnel sent in to help during polling day itself.
The May 11 by-election was called after the sudden death of former MP and Sabah DAP chairman Datuk Stephen Wong Tien Fatt on March 28. Wong's youngest daughter Vivian, 30, also from the DAP, will be squaring off against Parti Bersatu Sabah's Datuk Linda Tsen and three independent candidates in a five-cornered fight.Early voting involving an estimated 270 voters will take place on Tuesday .
