Melaka polls: Newlyweds make a grand entrance at polling centre in seven-vehicle convoy

Alor Gajah witnessed a unique sight as a newlywed couple arrived at a polling center in a vintage car, accompanied by a seven-vehicle convoy. Contractor Yaw Ming, 31, and his wife, Chan Jia Lyn, 27, made their way to SJKC Machap Baru wearing traditional attire, drawing the attention of other voters. The couple, who work in Singapore, cast their ballots despite having wedding preparations to attend to that day.

Yaw expressed his pride and happiness at making the occasion even more special by voting in their wedding attire. The idea for the special appearance came from Yaw's wife, who wanted them to look beautiful and make a memorable entrance. The Barisan Nasional candidate for Machap Jaya, Datuk Ngwe Hee Sem, greeted the couple upon their arrival.

The Election Commission aims for a voter turnout of around 70 percent, with the final results expected before midnight.
