Dewan masyarakat, I said. I'd checked online.
The weather here in Kuching was really great this morning. It was cloudy, but really cool as voters made their way out to the polling centres, to decide the governance of Malaysia for the next 5 years.
So at about 9.30 a.m., I went to the Dewan Masyarakat at Jalan Ang Cheng Ho. I checked with the staff there ... and found out that I was at the wrong Dewan Masyarakat. Lols.
I was supposed to be voting at the community hall near my house, the KPCA. Lol. What a blunder.
Lots of cars lining Macdougall Road
Joining the queue
Before long, it was my turn. I had identity card verified, the number and my name read out from the electoral roll, my left index finger painted .... I checked my ballot paper, then proceeded to the booth. I took special care not to smudge the ballot paper, lest my vote be spoilt.
After I was done ... I folded the paper, and dropped it into the ballot box.
Navy blue it is!
It's my first time voting. And I'm glad I did it. My vote counts! :)
Wah.. Flew in from Miri to vote. Kudos to you! My polling station was at Ong Thian Swee. Such a long queue. I waited for half an hour for my turn, just imagine that. Never experienced that before but I'm not complaining. Glad that this time around people really make an effort to turn up to vote. About the indelible ink, just out of curiosity, as soon as I reached home I washed it with ordinary soap. First wash it faded significantly, second wash gone totally!
ReplyDeleteYup, thanks Jonsey! I was glad I did not wait for so long, maybe about 10 minutes. I got a thick coat of ink ... so my finger is still stained as of now. :)) No complaints about the ink .... I like it. It's a proof of my service to democracy!!
