JOHOR BARU: First-time voter Lizfiana Samerra Tony felt a mix of nerves and excitement as she marked “X” on the ballot paper in the Pulai parliamentary seat by-election.

The 19-year-old college student from Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Temun said this was because she knew her vote would make a difference in electing a new MP whom she hoped would not overlook her community.
