Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng: Improved tax collection strategies and continued economic growth will ensure that Malaysia readily meets its fiscal consolidation objectives.
GEORGE TOWN: DAP and its candidate Vivian Wong made history by winning the largest majority in Sandakan's electoral history, says party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
He said DAP was shocked by the landslide victory with a majority of 11,521 votes despite the steep 18% drop in voter turnout to 54% this year from 72% last year.
“This was larger than the 10,098 vote majority obtained by her late father Stephen Wong in the 2018 general election,” he said in a statement on Sunday (May 12).
“Furthermore, this is the first time DAP won in all polling districts in Sandakan, including the Barisan Nasional strongholds of postal votes, Pulau Berhala and Kampung Sim Sim.
“This victory belongs to the people of Sandakan, and their confidence and support for the political combination of Warisan, DAP and Pakatan Harapan,” he added.
Lim said the full confidence and support by Sandakan voters were among the key attributes to their victory.
