MELAKA: For Chua Seng, 81, and his wife Kok Fook Lian, 80, casting their votes was only part of their mission on polling day.

After voting at SK Kelebang Besar, the couple were in a hurry to leave, but not to head home.

They had another voter to help.

"Now that we are done, we want to go and help fetch an old lady to come here to vote," he said.

The couple also met their relative Melvin Chua at the polling centre, where he had also come to cast his vote.

Melvin is contesting the Kota Laksamana seat for Barisan Nasional. Melaka MCA chairman Datuk Lim Ban Hong is contesting the Kelebang seat as candidate No. 4.
