Malaysians Are Pitching In Money For Those Who Cannot Afford To Travel Home For GE14

[Kstarnet]

Since the Election Commission (EC) announced that GE14 will fall on Wednesday, 9 May, many have expressed concerns that this would inconvenience voters who cannot afford to travel back to their constituencies mid-week

Twitter user @klubbkiddkl started #PulangMengundi, so that those struggling to finance their commute on polling day could connect with Malaysians who are willing to sponsor or subsidise their trips

#PulangMengundi, which means "return to vote" in Bahasa Malaysia, became the top Malaysian trending topic on Twitter overnight. Those in need of financial assistance, predominantly students, immediately took to Twitter to seek support from fellow Malaysians.

I bet this news is a breathe of fresh air from Trump and Chinese and Russian news propoganda

That's a good thing that some are willing even to travel to vote and others are ready to help them. But it's the government job to organise elections so citizens could vote locally, it doesn't make sense

It's part of the governments' conspiracy so let your imagination run free
