Sabah polls: Focus on collaborative politics, not on personal attacks, says Upko president


KOTA KINABALU: The 17th Sabah state election must not become a battlefield of personal attacks but should focus on mature, collaborative politics instead, says United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) president Datuk Ewon Benedick.

“This election cannot be reduced to who shouts the loudest, who sensationalises the most, or who preys on opponents’ weaknesses. It must be about unity. It must be about vision,” he said during Upko’s 31st anniversary celebration in Kota Kinabalu, recently.
