Shafie added that in a democracy, everyone has the right to free movement, even a person facing numerous criminal charges like Najib. Saying that Sabahans were smart and could judge for themselves, he told reporters Sabah would not resort to closing its doors to Najib. “As long as they’re Malaysians they have the right. We don’t want to hear anyone say they cannot come here. As the chief minister I’ve not stopped anyone from coming here,” he said.“They don’t need to be told. It’s not to Umno or PAS to tell people but for Sabahans who knows what they want.
DAP is believed to be leading the polls but only a section of the 51 per cent ethnic Chinese voting population in the constituency is expected to turn up for the polls, leaving space for the 46 per cent Muslim Bumiputera vote to play kingmaker.
