Friend’s wake-up call gets technician to the polls

JOHOR BARU: A 53-year-old technician would have missed his chance to vote if not for a friend’s morning call reminding him of the important task.

Identified only as Lim, the man who commutes to work at a factory in Singapore daily, said he knew of the by-election for the Pulai state seat at his constituency but did not remember the date.
