GE15: 'Burdensome' postal voting system likely to affect overseas votes


KUALA LUMPUR: Syakirah Anas, who lives in Qatar, was one of the lucky overseas Malaysians who managed to register to vote by post by Oct 23, the deadline for them to do so.

She managed to register herself at the last minute. Her husband, a pilot, missed the deadline, which was on Oct 23 at 11:59 pm Malaysian time, due to his work schedule. The 48-year-old mother-of-three is excited as this would be her first time voting by post, taking advantage of new voting laws that give overseas Malaysians like her a chance to vote.
