Why Every Vote Matters!

As we all know, it was the Sabah state elections on Saturday (26th September) and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) won 38 seats, enough to form a simple majority government. But what’s particularly interesting is how closely contested some of the constituencies were. In one, the victor had a mere 10-vote majority. We discuss why every vote matters.
