  "account": "Liew Chee Ping, 66, and Tan Siw Choo, 62, arrived at the polling station early in the morning and eagerly cast their votes to elect a representative for the Tanjung Bidara DUN. Both had a strong desire to fulfill their responsibility as early voters when they arrived as early as 7 a.m. at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Jeram for the PRN Melaka election. Liew Chee Ping and Tan Siw Choo were among the first voters in the area.\n\nLiew Chee Ping explained that they deliberately left their homes early to avoid traffic congestion and to prevent any risk of rain in the afternoon. \"We woke up as early as 5 a.m. and arrived at the polling station at 7 a.m., before any other voters arrived. There weren't any other voters when we got there,\" said Liew Chee Ping. Rohana Yasin, 46, shared that the unpredictable weather motivated her to leave early to vote. \"I was worried about the possibility of rain in the afternoon, but I am satisfied with the opportunity to fulfill my duty as a voter,\" she said.\n\nMohamad Daniel, 26, was content with returning from Kuala Lumpur after working solely to vote in his hometown. This was his second time voting, and he encouraged younger peers to vote early and take responsibility. Nor Dini Athirah Norizam, 18, a first-time voter, expressed her excitement at the opportunity to vote after only seeing others perform their duty before. \"Previously, I only saw others voting, but now I have the chance to do it myself. I examined the offerings of competing parties, but I chose a stable party with good candidates,\" said Nor Dini Athirah Norizam, a former student of Sekolah Menengah Agama (SMA) Nahdhah Hasanah Kedah.",
