SANDAKAN: A verbal spat broke out between candidates vying for the Sandakan parliamentary seat as they conducted their walkabouts on the third day of campaigning.
DAP candidate Vivian Wong is facing attacks from political foes following a function where she helped to clean up a Muslim cemetery, which was dubbed as a “gimmick”.Amid a social media storm over her picture cleaning up a Muslim cemetery on the second day of the campaign, Wong looked apologetic at a press conference at the party’s Sandakan headquarters and said that she would be more cautious.The 30-year-old daughter of the late Sandakan MP Datuk Stephen Wong said she was following the footsteps of her father who was always involved in gotong royong with the Muslim bumiputra communities in the constituency.
