POP quiz on Sabah politics: If you were a voter in Moyog in the 1999 state elections, would you have (a) voted for the incumbent assemblyman who was the chief minister? (b) Voted out the chief minister because you support Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS)?

Based on the results, 10,870 voters (61%) voted for option B, which was Datuk Clarence Bongkos Malakun of PBS, and 6,482 (36%) supported Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, who was Sabah chief minister then and Parti Demokratik Sabah (PDS) president.
