I'm from Ipoh. I have voted in Ipoh Timur in every election since I came of age. My Ipohite compatriots and I have sacrificed everything from a decent tertiary education facility / university (TARC went to Kampar, held by BN, which had no facilities and no talent pool) to a working public transport system to regular trash collection. We've been practically decimated to a community of pensioners and retirees. Where young Ipohites are like Filipino maids and Indonesian workers... forced to journey afar in order to continue studying after SPM and thereafter make a living. Why? To put critical opposition members of parliament into office and send a clear statement to UMNO that the Chinese will bow to nobody. Besides taking a day off every 4 years to go back to vote, what have you done in comparison?

sorry state for previously awesome towns like ipoh... they produce a lot of talents and pretty girls... too bad future wont be the same for these places... the younger generations had all left and i doubt many would even return... thanks to the gov

i will return
It’s always darkest before the dawn

This is not a comparison. This is a message. A message for all Malaysian living near and far, to vote this comming GE. Excercise your right as a Citizen. Shed the "its not my problem now that i'm living in XXX" mentality. Come out and vote for a better Malaysia.

Oops, i have never voted before in my entire life. It is very costly for me to vote as need to travel back to home town which i cant claim any reimbursement so never border to vote. Unless i can do a postal vote.

how come no overseas voting?like the very recent GE/PE elections where Singaporeans residing overseas goes to the Hi-Com to cast their votes!!

I think they do. But only for civil servants (i.e. ambassadors) and of course soldiers.

indonesian oso can vote via their embassy...

Postal vote.... one of the BN conventional weapon.

If we want to keep MY passport, do our part else just convert and SG is ready to give you all sort of bonus.

Pretty simple to do postal votes. But there's a very significant population of Malaysians living overseas, who 100% will not vote for the govt. In addition, many of them will vote in constituencies where BN is the weakest... ie. areas with high % of Chinese votes. So, absolutely no incentive for BN to have postal votes for the public.

As for overseas/pendalaman armed forces, civil servants and their families postal votes... most of the eligible voters in this category don't even see their voting slips. It's filled in, submitted on their behalf and sent to any constituency where BN needs more votes to tilt the count to their side.

Its actually 2 hundred units a day for both today and tomorrow. Just went there today at 12pm and its all gone.

Heard from the HP sales person that once the doors for the place opened at 10am, all hell broke loose and people were scrambling to get one.

Luckily you can get it if you pre-ordered when it first came out and they dropped the price to the fire-sale price.

It was crowded just now during lunch time in COMEX. Nevertheless, I think those gadgets after conversion, it's cheaper in Malaysia still....hehehe...

HP is selling the touchpad in malaysia?

until then we can open a retirement home...
just take it as a balik kampung trip die die also i must vote..

Do you mean that if we want to keep our Malaysia passport, we must do our part by going back to support our govt and vote for our Najib Gor?
