Sabah state election: Final stretch of campaigning as over 1.7 million head to polls tomorrow
Campaigning is in its final stretch in the east Malaysian state of Sabah, as more than 1.7 million voters head to the polls tomorrow. A record 596 candidates from 24 political parties are vying for 73 seats in the 79-seat state assembly. Long-standing issues — such as utilities, road infrastructure and Sabah's share of federal revenue — have dominated the campaign, sharpening the divide between local and national parties. Afifah Ariffin reports from Kota Kinabalu.
