Find out why opposition won so many seats: Rosnah

KOTA KINABALU:

A thorough study must be conducted to find out why the opposition won so many seats in the just concluded General Election, Papar Member of Parliament Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said. “We must find out why the change in the way the people voted,” said Rosnah who retained her seat with 9,574 majority votes. She added that while the results and outcome of the election were unexpected, they must be accepted with an open mind as it was the decision of the people exercising their rights as voters. “It is a bitter pill to swallow but we have to accept the rakyat’s decision. It is therefore imperative that we find out our weaknesses and the reasons why the seats fell to the opposition so that in the future we can recover what we lost,” she stressed.
