Newlyweds steal the show at polling station
They caught the attention of fellow voters when they arrived in a specially hired classic car, accompanied by a convoy of several vehicles.
Yau Wei Ming and Chan Jia Lin, a newlywed couple, stole the spotlight at a polling station in Alor Gajah during the 16th Melaka state election. Dressed in traditional red wedding attire, the pair arrived at the SJK (C) Machap Baru polling centre in their classic car, accompanied by several vehicles. The union of Yau, a 31-year-old construction worker from Singapore, and Chan, 27, from Kampung Machap Baru, caught the attention of fellow voters.
The couple had planned their wedding a year in advance, unaware that it would fall on election day. Yau expressed his pride and happiness in being able to vote together on such a special day. Chan, who had voted twice before, said this was her second time casting her vote. The Machap Jaya state seat is currently in a three-way race between Pakatan Harapan candidate Ginie Lim, Barisan Nasional incumbent Ngwe Hee Sem, and Prasanth Kumar Brakasam of Parti Bersama Malaysia.
