Positive, response for BN in Semporna, says Shafie

SEMPORNA:

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal has reminded the Barisan Nasional (BN) election machinery here to continue working hard despite all the positive response from the voters. Shafie, who is the incumbent Semporna member of parliament, said BN machinery should not take the contest lightly because in politic, “anything can happen”. “We are confident of winning this election. What is important is for us to step up efforts to win the people’s support,” he said after meeting the Semporna traders yesterday. Shafie, who is locked in a straight fight with Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) candidate Ab Aziz Ab Hamid, also believed that the BN would have no problem retaining the state seats here, namely Sulabayan and Senallang. -Bernama
