Syaza Shukri of IIUM says those dissatisfied with the coalition may just end up sitting out GE16.

Syaza Shukri of International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) and Azmi Hassan of Akademic Nusantara said Sabahan PH voters dissatisfied with the coalition could choose either Warisan or Gabungan Rakyat Sabah.
