MELAKA, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- A 23-year-old visually impaired voter travelled from Ipoh, Perak, to Melaka today to exercise his democratic right, making the long journey to fulfil his civic duty.
Muhammad Adam Iskandar Muhammad Rayme, a voter in the Bukit Katil state constituency, said this was his second time voting, having first cast his ballot at the age of 19 with his mother accompanying him.
“This time, I came with my younger sibling and we arrived at Sekolah Kebangsaan Dato’ Demang Hussin as early as 7 am.
“The process was smoother and easier as I could draw on my previous experience,” he told Bernama.
He also commended election workers for their readiness and willingness to assist him, despite the challenges he faced as a visually impaired voter.
“We depend on the person accompanying us, but the voting process was easier and more orderly,” said the Ipoh-based massage therapist.
