Malaysians in India vote

Malaysians in India came out to vote in three different locations, namely New Delhi, Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Mumbai (Maharashtra).

In New Delhi, a total of 31 citizens are scheduled to vote, of which 23 are Malaysian High Commission staff and the rest are Malaysians residing in various places in North India.

Ghanaseharan Muniandy, who was among the early birds, said the government's initiative of enabling Malaysians residing overseas to vote was a move in the right direction.

"It enables me and the rest of Malaysians globally to exercise our democratic rights. Otherwise, many of us would have been left out," he told Bernama when met at the Malaysian High Commission here today.

He believed that Malaysia had come a long way, in terms of political maturity.
