Article 119 of a Federal Constitution states obviously which each adult who has achieved a age of twenty-one has a right to vote.
This is a element of a one-man-one opinion system.
So upon this element alone, whether a chairman is residing abroad or locally creates no disproportion to his or her right to vote. As prolonged as which chairman is over twenty-one years of age, of receptive to advice thoughts as well as has not committed certain crimes , he or she contingency be allowed to vote.
The Election Commission is only a car of a people entrusted to outcome which right as well as thus to manage a routine of election.
So for those Malaysians residing overseas, as prolonged as they have been still Malaysians, they should have a same right as those inside of a country.
There have been of march many logistic care to concede Malaysians residing abroad to vote. But as alternative nations have done this, there is no reason since a Election Commission cannot follow suit. It should come out with a procession to concede these adults to vote.
A component party made a about spin upon this, as well as now a top leaders pronounced which a objections over abroad voting is a personal view of its representatives. It is indeed laughable, as well as Malaysians have been not which stupid. It is similar to a No 2 personality blaming a board of directors of a sanatorium of misleading him when which sanatorium devalue was hit with rip gas as well as H2O cannons in a Jul rally. He made a inapplicable designation of denying without getting a fact right, yet apologies have been over a politicians. ANyway which is how tall politicians' ego can be: they contingency not be seen creation a mistake.
The initial objection of which party contingency have something to do with a domestic inclinations of a abroad vote. Most of those resi! ding abr oad which you have talked to would have voted for change.
Many of these have been students studying overseas, as well as among them have been many who could not get in to a courses of their preference as well as so have no preference yet to opt for costly abroad study; in a routine of studying, many would have finished off all their relatives savings.
Many work overseas. AMong them have been people who would not have been able to achieve their potentials locally. Many stay at a behind of since they find a recognition which has or would have eluded them in Malaysia. Others could not get in to a fields of their choice. Still others opt for a aloft arrangement as well as improved working as well as living conditions overseas.
ALl these people would have no qualms voting for change. ANd these have been a sizeable group. you estimate there have been at l! easterly a m illlion Malaysians over twenty-one residing overseas.
My own graduating medical class in 1977 had 88 Malaysians out of 120, in a then University of Singapore. Only a handful came back. MAny have remained in SIngapore, as well as many moved to UK, AUstralia, US as well as NZ. We have been still in hold via emails. Most have turn adults of their residing places yet there have been still a little who have remained constant as well as have been still Malaysians, even yet they hold PR standing of their residing countries. The same relates to my many tall schools classmates who have stayed abroad many years yet have been still citizens.
Then there have been those who proposed residing abroad in a 2000s. Among them have been my young kids as well as many of these have been still Malaysians, as well as many of these come behind mostly to Malaysia during their holidays.
I have oral to many of my children's classmates, as well as as i have blogged before, nothing of them have come back, ( this might be peculiar to medicine, yet you consider few from alternative fields came behind too). BUt many of them come behin! d annual ly for legal holiday as well as many of them keep in hold with online media upon what! is happ ening in a country. Most have been constant adults who have no preference yet to work overseas. So who have been you to deny them their rights when a right is enshrined in a constitution?
We cannot deny them this right to opinion only since this organisation has a aloft tendency to opinion for change. It is up to a supervision to court them as well as try to shift their thinking, only similar to what a supervision should do with internal voters. - Dr Hsu
