Merlimau witnessed a unique event on November 14 as a bride named Nur Azlina Buang managed to cast her vote just 10 minutes before the polling station closed. Nur Azlina, who is 33 years old, was amidst her wedding celebrations when she arrived at SK Sempang polling station in Merlimau. Despite the sudden coincidence of her wedding date with the state election, Nur Azlina decided to proceed with her plans.
