Rain no deterrent for early voters at Johor polls

JOHOR BARU, March 8 — Light rain in the morning did not stop members of the Royal Malaysia Police and the Malaysian Armed Forces from exercising their voting rights and 39 per cent of voters have cast their ballots as of 11am, according to the Election Commission .

Ayob Khan said he was still voting in Johor for the Stulang state seat because he needed three months to change his voting address after being transferred to Bukit Aman, effective Jan 25, this year. “If people asked if I miss Johor, for sure I miss it, I have served here for two years,” said the police personality who always attracted attention for handling important cases.

Also seen monitoring the early voting process at Johor IPK were Johor police chief Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat and EC secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak.Over 22,000 members of the security forces, comprising the ATM, PDRM and the General Operations Force , as well as their spouses, are eligible to cast their votes today.
