For a party that seen as lacking support from the community recently, it has quite a big number of members, nearly 1/3 of the Indian population. Wonder how many will actually vote for for MIC/BN candidates. Another problem is that 37% of its members are not voters! Perhaps MIC should start in-house campaign to get its members registered, unless of course these are members who are in “other world” now or who are invisible members. 🙂 » Read more: 37 percent of MIC members not voters

Being a registered voter in my hometown (which is a mere 30 minutes from my current location), I took the weekend opportunity to see for myself the happenings at the nomination centre. The nomination for parliament seat P110 (Klang) and its 3 state seats (Port Klang N46, Pandaraman N47, and Kota Alam Shah N48) was held at Dewan Hamzah. I got an SMS from a friend saying the supporters for Manoharan will be marching from Chetty Padang (field) instead of Lecthumanan Hall as mentioned a day earlier. Anyway, I reached Dewan Hamzah at about 9.15am, by which the candidates were already in the nomination centre. The police had closed some of the roads, so I had some problem finding parking.
