JOHOR BARU: Johor voters living abroad, especially the thousands in Singapore, are asking that postal voting be allowed for the upcoming state election.

They say it will be difficult for them to return home to vote, even with the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) operating, which only allows 720 bus tickets each way per day under the new 50% quota.
