Malays trailing when it comes to registering as voters

File pic ballot box at a Polling Station in Oxford, central England. The Conservatives managed to obtain a Parliamentary majority in the recent general election.

IT has been a longstanding trend for Malays to lag behind when it comes to voter registration, says Merdeka Center’s programme director Ibrahim Suffian.

He says in surveys conducted by the centre in the past, many younger voters cite not having the time to register.
