  "account": "Two elderly couples, Liew Chee Ping, 66, and Tan Siw Choo, 62, were eager to cast their votes early on the morning of the PRN Melaka election. The devoted husband and wife arrived at the polling station at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Jeram as early as 7 a.m. to exercise their democratic right. Liew Chee Ping explained that they left their homes as early as 5 a.m. to avoid traffic congestion and the risk of rain in the afternoon. \"We woke up around 5 a.m. and arrived at the polling station at 7 a.m. before any other voters arrived. No one else was there when we got there,\" they said. The couple was so excited that they couldn't sleep the night before. Rohana Yasin, 46, expressed her concern about the unpredictable weather, mentioning that she also tried to leave early to cast her vote. \"I'm worried that if I leave later, it might rain in the afternoon,\" she added. Meanwhile, Mohamad Daniel, 26, was happy to return from Kuala Lumpur after working all day to vote for his hometown. \"I returned to Melaka late yesterday evening. This is the second time I've voted. I hope my younger friends also wake up early to fulfill their voting responsibility,\" he said. Nor Dini Athirah Norizam, a first-time voter at 18, shared her enthusiasm in becoming a voter. \"I've only seen others voting before, but this time I have the opportunity to do so. I looked at the candidates of the competing parties before voting, but I chose the stable party with good candidates,\" she explained. SK Jeram is the polling station for the Tanjung Bidara constituency, where Chief Minister of Malacca, Ab Rauf Yusoh, and Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Yunazri Mustamiri are competing.",
