LABUAN: Peninsula-based coalitions should seize the golden opportunity to contest the imminent state election solo and test their strength and acceptance in the State.

“There should be no fear losing or even losing their deposits if they are confident of support as they often claim.

“Based on reports there is likely to be no clear majority winner and such being the case the coalition or party that wins even a handful of seats have the chance to be a partner in the new state government... so why worry?” said activist Haji Abdul Jalil Ghani.
