MIRI: All six nomination forms for N71 Bukit Sari in Lawas have been snapped up.

Lawas District Office’s Mahari Abdul Rahman, who is in-charge of the forms, however told The Borneo Post that all six nomination forms for N70 Ba Kelalan were still lying in the office as no one had come forward to buy it.

“I believe what is happening in Bukit Sari is that aspiring candidates or their supporters are worried that there might not be any (forms) left if they acted in the last minute,” commented Sahabi Mail, a PBB member in Lawas.

However, he said he was not surprised that the nomination forms were selling like hot cakes because this phenomenon had also happened in past elections.

Sources said one of the aspiring candidates for Bukit Sari is Mohamad Brahim, a native of Sundar.

He is considered a ‘regular’ candidate whenever elections are around the corner.

Bukit Sari incumbent is Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hassan, who is also Second Minister of Planning and Resource Management, from PBB.

Ba Kelalan incumbent is Nelson Balang Rining from SPDP.
