Kampung Sim Sim is a notable voting disctrict in Sandakan as it is one of only two voting districts in which BN won in the previous general election.<br /><br />Located just three kilometres from the Sandakan city centre, the village of Kampung Sim Sim has seen a flurry of activities since last Saturday, the start of the campaigning period for the Sandakan by-election on May 11.<br /><br />However, for most voters in the "floating village' the question of voting for DAP or the opposition PBS in the upcoming by-election is not their foremost concern.<br /><br />Instead, what concerns them daily is whether their wooden houses would survive the elements.
