ALOR GAJAH: Two policemen managed to cast their votes on the early voting day of the Melaka election despite their health issues. Sergeant Manimaran, a 56-year-old officer suffering from a fractured foot, made his way to the Alor Gajah traffic police station's early voting centre at 6.45am. Despite his injury, Manimaran expressed his determination to fulfill his duty as a voter.
He plans to continue his treatment for the fractured bone at Tampin Hospital. Constable Faisal Mahiddin, 43, another voter with rectal cancer, also cast his vote despite having a stoma bag. Faisal, who has been in the police force for more than two years, said he was determined to participate in the voting process alongside his colleagues.
Corporal Jasri Jaafar, 41, who is in his fifth year of participating in early voting, cast his vote before continuing to carry out his duties at the center.
