MELAKA: Three brothers from Klebang Kecil turned polling day into a family affair by heading to their Melaka polling centre together to cast their ballots.
Tang Wai Han, 28, Wai Leong, 26, and Wai Poh, 22, said they made the trip together to fulfil their civic duty and ensure their voices were heard.
Speaking on behalf of his siblings, Wai Han stressed that voting is a vital right that citizens should never take for granted.
"We should fulfil our right to vote and not miss the opportunity, so we decided to come together," he said on Saturday (Nov 14).
He added that the ballot box gives citizens the power to evaluate the government's performance and hold leaders accountable.
Wai Han expressed hope that the incoming administration will foster a more open and inclusive society, particularly on matters concerning religion.
"As a multiracial country, we should respect one another's differences and allow people greater freedom, rather than impose excessive restrictions," he said.
