SEREMBAN: A dwarf couple, a woman in confinement and a newly married couple were among voters in the Rantau state by-election today.
Abdul Halim Hafiz and Khatijah Abu Samah, both 43, who exercised their right at the Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (SRJK) (C) Chung Hua here, praised the Election Commission (EC) for making voting more convenient for the elderly and disabled this time around.
“I have no difficulty to cast my vote today. All the facilities provided at the polling centre are convenient for all,“ said Khatijah, who is a teacher at Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Tunku Jaafar here.
