In exactly four more days, will be the one, fateful day which the power of democracy falls into the hands of the people a.k.a the rakyat.
Like many others, this Sunday will be my first time voting for the party/candidate of my choice.
I've thought long and hard and have been on the fence all of this year and late last year.
I've been passively monitoring views from both sides – the government and the opposition.
I've been researching both policies, manifestos and mandates and have listened to both ceramahs.
And two months ago, I have since made up my mind and will be flying all the way back to my polling station (located in my hometown Penang) just to cast my vote!
Can't say that I'm not the least bit excited!
Polling stations/booths opens at 8AM – 5PM. Come early, expect to wait due to the long queue so bring something to entertain yourself for hours!
I've marked my calender and am now sporting nude nails for the first time in ages.
Ladies, remember to remove your nail polish/manicure of any sort before the voting process as you will risk ineligibility to vote or have your vote spoilt.
Don't ask me why, it's something to do with the indelible ink that will be dabbed onto your fingernails.
Important! The ink will take about 30 seconds to dry. Be smart and bring along a tissue to dry off your finger before holding your ballot papers. Any smudge or stain on the ballot paper will render it spoiled vote.
Logic aside, just don't go to your polling booth with painted fingernails, aight?
REMOVE THEM NOW! Your vanity can wait heehee. And so can mine!
Remember not to wear anything that supports or aligns towards the party of your choice to avoid ineligibility
Be absolutely neutral in your clothing. I suggest wearing either black or white – safest bet!
Anyway, in view of the election day, here is a relevant, interesting infographic revolving around real estate and property that I'd like to share.
Disregarding votes with nail polish on them sounds like a cheap excuse to discount votes that arnt in favour of BN
I agree! No idea what’s with the nail polish and being ineligible to vote if u have them on. =/ Oh well. Just better to be safe than sorry I guess.
in two weeks time were having eletiong too!
too bad I failed to register myself as a voter haha next election perhaps i'll be practicing my rights
Oh cool, there are elections coming soon in your country too!? Yeah, don't worry about it this year then.. there's always the next round of elections 😀 😀
Thanks for posting. This is going to be the mother of all elections. As in democratic processes, we wll not know the results until the votes are counted. For some it may be the end, a political grave so to speak. There may be some surprises.
great! do ur part! =DD
