Tonny Ung, Bintulu DAP Chairman
*The Impact of Split Votes: Why GPS Triumphed in Samalaju*
Tonny shared his experience of competing in the 12th Sarawak state election in 2021 and losing badly in a 5-cornered contest in Samalaju state assembly. Acknowledging that Samalaju is a Dayak Iban majority area. But preliminary surveys show the attitude of Iban voters who can and will vote for anyone regardless of race. However, the DAP candidate for this area was initially DAP CEC John Anthony Brian. But because John Brian wants to compete in his own village in Kemena state assembly. So I was given the task of competing in Dun Samalaju. I prepared for a year. But because the area is very wide. I think even if given 5 years is not enough time. I only had time to campaign for one round, before the voting. The strongest factor wins the GPS by a large majority of errors - the 5 corner competition. According to Tony, the Iban people are smart in politics. They know- if 1 against 1. I have a chance to win. Many iban longhouses are not satisfied with GPS. But when there are 5 candidates volunteering. Then they can predict the vote will split and GPS will win. So they will decide to vote for GPS so that it is easy to get the project. But according to Tony, DAP will make a decision soon to determine the candidate who will represent DAP in the next state election. The formula according to Tony is one to one against GPS. Chances of winning are bright. Because the people of Sarawak know that GPS is not a reliable party.
