It is likely that BN will win the Balingian by-election. But we should watch closely whether Pakatan can reduce the 75 per cent of the popular vote clinched by the BN in this constituency in the 2011 state election.
The by-election today is between BN’s Yussibnosh Balo and Pakatan’s Abdul Jalil Bujang (PKR). Voter turnout at 11.00am was 53 per cent compared to the total turnout of 70 per cent in the 2011 state election.
In the 2011 state election, former-Chief Minister Taib Mahmud won the state seat with a reduced majority of 5,154 votes (2006 – 5,726 votes) in a three-cornered contest.

JAMES: Why did you go to the press conference?
Liu: I wanted to ask the politicians what happened to my son… it was March the 19th, by then the 12th day, and there was still no news about my son, no news about my son.… I was losing my mind…
JAMES: The media has been reporting that the Malaysia police treated you badly, is that true?
Liu: No. I was surrounded by journalists and police. At first I didn’t understand what was going on. I thought they came to arrest me, I began to ask for help and was screaming “What are you doing?” They carried me out of the crowd of journalists, and someone from Malaysia Airlines told me in Chinese that I needn’t worry. My daughter said they were there to protect me, not to arrest me.
