General Election Malaysia
GEORGE TOWN: A voter was barred from casting his ballot at a polling centre here as he refused to remove the mask of his costume.
The mystery voter had turned up at the Desa Intan 7A polling centre in Farlim dressed as the Predator - the alien hunter from the movie, comic book and video game franchise.
The police personnel present told him to go back and change if he wanted to exercise his right as a voter.
When interviewed, the mystery voter declined to give his name and other personal details and the reason for appearing as the Predator.
At the SK Sri Aman in Kampung Melayu, Muhamad Shah Rizal Mat Sahat, 32, turned as Captain America.
“I turned up as a superhero to encourage more 18-year-olds to come out to exercise their voting rights. This is my first time voting in a superhero costume,” he said.

Re: General Election Malaysia
Hmm, an election during rainy season? Voter suppression is a great tactic for election rigging. Make it as hard as possible for people to vote is certain areas if they are not your demographic. If the ruling party's base are city dwellers and the opposition are country dwellers, the rainy season would be an ideal time to hold an election.
Is there any of this happening in Malaysia?
Re: General Election Malaysia
The ruling party were countrywide but it seems they blew it to call an early election in wet season. They have lost badly.
Although so much corruption at all levels going to be a lot of work to get past it all.
Malays who rejected a Malay party they regarded as tainted had also spurned the multiracial Pakatan Harapan.
They preferred to turn to an alternative that was centred around race and religion.

I see a slight problem there for those voters in wheelchairs that want to vote.

Re: General Election Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR: There has been no decision made by the king of Malaysia on who would be the next prime minister, after the ruler met the leaders of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) on Tuesday (Nov 22).
Additionally, all 30 Barisan Nasional (BN) politicians who won the election have been summoned to the palace on Wednesday morning to meet with the ruler individually.

Re: General Election Malaysia
Within his first week of taking office, Malaysia’s new prime minister Anwar Ibrahim is already sending out good vibes that change in the country is under way. He must keep this momentum going, against all odds.
Anwar’s decision to not take his prime minister’s salary is a populist move. Granted, it is a campaign promise fulfilled. It will not tackle inequality and high rising prices in the country. But this symbolic move signals that he is sensitive to the struggles facing ordinary Malaysians.
While Anwar should not stoke personal rivalries, it does not mean that he should turn a blind eye to his potential allies’ alleged wrongdoings. Malaysians will closely watch whether Anwar fulfils his promise not to interfere with the judicial process.
This will include the ongoing court cases involving politicians suspected of corruption who are part of his unity government, such as United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Malaysia United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) president Syed Saddiq, and former Democratic Action Party (DAP) secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
