The Day I Registered to be a Voter

Posted by narrowband - 26/04/07 at 09:04:24 am

The general elections is around the corner. What better way to welcome it than registering to be a voter? I’m 23 this year, and yes that’s a little late considering the legal age to do it is 21. But it’s all good – not too late to do it now anyway. To those of you who haven’t registered yourselves, do it now and exercise your rights! Here’s how it went for me:

- Walked into a post office.

- Got a number.

- At the counter, presented my MyKad.

- Observed the computer screen as the clerk keyed in my particulars. Checked for mistakes.

- A set of carbon-copies of that form was printed out and I signed on it. I kept a copy.

- Walk out of post office.

It took about 10 minutes, including the waiting time. A middle-aged lady was seen registering herself at the counter next to mine too.

  6. I didn’t nag you, Jian… But the government is urging you, of that I’m sure.

    Angel – *sobs* But I don’t feel young!!

    Wuching – Wah I know this won’t affect you down under but this kind of thing, kenot pray pray.

    Zewt – Yep, that’s what my dad told me too.

    Jason – Hopefully this post will encourage my friends to do the same. I know many of them haven’t done so.
