DO SOMETHING DURING THE 12TH GENERAL ELECTION

The 12th General Election will be here soon. Do you want to see a free and fair election? You can... if you volunteer to be an Election Observer !

MAFREL (Malaysians for Free and Fair Election) is an independent and non-partisan, non-governmental organization. Observing elections and to ensure that they are free and fair is our main mission. We are officially accredited by the SPR.

MAFREL is now looking for volunteers to be trained as Election Observers. Come for a briefing and training session if you are interested (absolutely no obligation). Do your part to ensure that the coming general election in our country would be free and fair.

Topics to be covered include:
. The process of election
. The policies and dynamics of election
. Your rights as a voter
. Is a free and fair election possible?

Speaker: Tn Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh, MAFREL Vice-chairman

Even if you do not want to become an Election Observer, it would still be an excellent idea to attend the session, to get to learn about election.

. You must be a citizen of Malaysia
. You must be at least 21 years old
