Sandakan polls during fasting month not an issue for government, opposition parties

KOTA KINABALU: Both government and opposition parties are comfortable with the May 11 date set for the Sandakan by-election even though it would be during the fasting month.

Sabah DAP secretary Chan Fong Hin said that at least seven to eight days of the 14-day campaign from nomination day on April 27 would be during the fasting month and they expect to adjust their campaigning during this period.
