Jan 24: Chance for Sabahans to send a clear message to UG - repent, reform or pack-up in GE16

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16, 2025: On Jan 24, Sabahans go to the polls again for the Kinabatangan and Lamag by-election, and both seats are expected to be contested and defended by the racial and religious bigoted Umno youth chief Dr Akmal "Dr Ham/I Am Malay First" Saleh's Umno.

It is a chance for Sabahans to send a clear message to the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led so-called Madani Unity Government (UG), led by the NATO (No Action Talk Only) Anwar Ibrahim, that he must repent and reform or pack-up after the next general election (GE16) due in 2027.

Send Barisan-Umno packing in the by-elections with a message: Enough of political rhetoric, racial and religious bigotry … enough is enough, action only speaks, nothing else.

After Sabahans, especially the Chinese voters, dumped the DAP in the Nov 29 17th Sabah Election, and gave Shafie Apdal’s Warisan 25 seats and the popular vote, it is clear, like the Sarawakians, that they trust a sane and wise Muslim leader than the DAP to lead multi-racial Malaysians and Malaysia.

And Singapore Straits Times has posted a damning report on whether PH, like the DAP, is imploding with political leaders mulling to leave the coalition.

On Jan 24, Sabahans have the opportunity to help consolidate Warisan’s political standing in Sabah and Malaysia.

Kinabatangan, Lamag by-elections on Jan 24

FMT Reporters

The by-elections follow the death of Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin on Dec 5.

 

Nominations for the by-elections will be held on Jan 10 and early voting on Jan 20.

PETALING JAYA: The by-elections for the Kinabatangan parliamentary seat and Lamag state seat in Sabah will be held on Jan 24 next year, the Election Commission (EC) announced today.

In a press conference at the commission’s headquarters, EC chairman Ramlan Harun said nominations would be held on Jan 10 and early voting on Jan 20.

A total of 48,722 voters, including 196 policemen, are eligible to cast their ballots in the two by-elections.

The by-elections will cost the EC some RM10 million.

They follow the death of Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin on Dec 5, less than a week after being elected to a second term as Lamag assemblyman.

The 66-year-old defended his state seat with a slim majority of just 153 votes in the Sabah state election last month.

The former Sabah deputy chief minister had also been the Kinabatangan MP for six terms. In the 2022 general election, he retained the parliamentary seat with a solid 4,330-vote majority.

Last week, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said Perikatan Nasional had decided not to contest the Kinabatangan and Lamag by-elections.
