Kota Kinabalu: The people who are voting in the coming general elections (GE14) are voting for a change in the government but not for the candidate, said Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH) Chairwoman Christina Liew.She said this in a response to a statement made by Sabah MCA Deputy Chief Francis Goh, who urged voters in Kepayan to decide their voting based on the candidate instead of the party."We are seeking a clarification from him because does that mean candidates from the MCA are going contest in the coming election with their own pictures instead?

"Voters must consider very carefully because I hope they are not going to vote just because their candidate is a relative or a friend."The people are voting for a change, for their future as well as their children's future and future generations," she said when met by reporters, here, Thursday.Sabah DAP Secretary Chan Foong Hin said Goh had lost confidence in his own party as well as Barisan Nasional (BN)."That is why he urged the people to vote for him and not the party. But what can a single person do to change the shape of the future?," he said.
