KUKUSAN (June 17): Barisan Nasional (BN) is determined to recapture the Kukusan state seat in the upcoming state election after losing narrowly in the last election, said
Sabah BN treasurer Datuk Sri Dr Salleh Said Keruak.
He described the seat as winnable and strategically important for BN in the east coast of Sabah.
'The loss last time was by a small margin. That tells us the people of Kukusan are still with us — we just need to work harder and stay consistent in our outreach,' he said after attending the Radu Tatap Radu grassroots engagement program held in Kukusan on Tuesday.
Salleh emphasized that BN's strategy moving forward will focus on strengthening its grassroots machinery, understanding the people's concerns, and offering practical solutions — especially in areas such as infrastructure, job creation and public services.
'Through programs like Radu Tatap Radu, we are not just reconnecting with voters — we are rebuilding trust and reaffirming our commitment to serve. This is part of our long-term effort, not a seasonal campaign,' he added.
The BN treasurer also noted that cooperation under the Unity Government will allow BN to bring more development and stability to Kukusan and the surrounding areas.
Among the activities lined up for the program were the distribution of engine oil to motorcyclists by Umno Youth Kalabakan, a morning Zumba session and telematch games organized by Puteri Umno Kalabakan, a cooking demonstration by Wanita Umno Kalabakan, culminating in the grand finale — 'Malam Santai PDM Sentosa'.
