You Do The Math

Recent brohuhaa about the election in Sabah especially the LDP.

Before Election :
VK Liew : A lawyer who took over as LDP President from Tan Sri Chong Kah Keat. Non-MP, non-assemblyman
YB Liew Yun Fah : Merotai state assemblyman and state Youth and Sports Minister.
Fong Vun Fui : LDP Central Youth Deputy Chief, based in Sandakan, always visible in local papers in municipal issues such as drainage, road and passport and IC application issues

What's at Stake? PARLIAMENT (SANDAKAN) & STATE (MEROTAI)

After Nomination :
VK Liew : Running as LDP sole allocated Parliament seat (Sandakan)
YB Liew Yun Fah : Dropped from the list, both Parliament and state
Fong Yun Fui : Stands as independent candidate

My Take?
LDP has ONLY ONE Full Minister allocation in Sabah BN government. Being the minister will strengthen one's grip on power as the state level support is vital for parties with the capacity like LDP. To add more salt, the consolation as parties with the capacity of LDP has limited influence in Parliament.

Hints?
Look at Koh Tsu Koon in Penang. He moved to Federal for the minister post but have to make sure his state (Penang) in good hands, i.e. his man.


Is it greed or survival strategy? YOU DO THE MATHS!!!
WISE VOTING, SABAHAN!!!!
