Politics : Melaka Polls: Twin Sisters With Dwarfism Excited To Cast Their Votes

MELAKA, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- Physical disabilities did not deter a 63-year-old pair of twin sisters with dwarfism from turning up to fulfil their civic duty as voters in the 16th Melaka State Election today.

On polling day in Melaka, a blend of enthusiasm and trepidation filled the air as young voters exercised their right to vote for the very first time. Among them was 24-year-old Muhammad Aris Abdul Azis, who expressed both thrill and slight anxiety as he joined the crowd to choose their representatives. He emphasized the importance of the opportunity to participate in the democratic process, hoping the elected candidate would honor the trust placed in them and prioritize the well-being of the people.

Another first-time voter, 19-year-old Akmal Wafiq Dahari, shared his confidence in his choice after a thorough assessment of the candidates. He focused on their potential to bring about meaningful changes to the community and their dedication to serving the public before making his decision. Akmal, currently pursuing a course in Administrative Science and Policy Studies in Kedah, had traveled back to his hometown to cast his ballot.

He highlighted that he had conducted his research through social media platforms prior to making his choice, expressing his satisfaction with the outcome and his intention to support the elected representative wholeheartedly.
