The second cousin of former Chief Minister Datuk Seri Salleh Tun Said also said there was not objection from her family to stand under the opposition even though her cousin (Salleh) was also standing as a BN candidate for the Usukan state seat. My family is very supportive of this move, and they also believe in Pakatan Rakyat (PR) after what they had done in several states in Peninsular Malaysia, especially in Selangor and Penang. "After having a meeting with our machinery tonight, we will start our campaign in Tempasuk and Usukan areas, and after that we will continue in Kadamaian," said Isnaraissah Munirah who is fluent in English, Malay, Dusun and Bajau.

The 36-year-old electrical engineer said many naysayers had expressed doubts about whether she could defeat the former Sabah chief minister and federal minister. Munirah, who has been actively involved in politics since 2011, said she hoped that her win would encourage more political engagement among women as their voice is important in shaping the future. She also adding that her political rivalry with her cousin in the general election will not sever their ties as "family is still family".
