Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, is facing a significant challenge in the upcoming November 29 election to the Sabah state. The election, considered a crucial bellwether for the administration, is particularly significant as Sabah, one of Borneo’s two states, holds considerable importance for the nation’s political landscape. Sentiment amongst Sabahans expressing a desire for greater autonomy is rapidly growing, influencing the election’s outcome. Political analysts predict a competitive race between the ruling coalition and opposition parties, with the result potentially impacting Malaysia’s regional dynamics.
